Gerrad, an Irish immigrant, w/@familiesfreedom at the #EyesonICE Forum, was illegally detained in an ICE detention center for time after his release when he asked officers if he'd be released before Christmas they told him, "Your case has been repealed. Merry f*cking Christmas." Gerrad was reprimanded for giving another ICE detainee without money batteries for his radio. He experienced and witnessed abuses by white officers to him as well as other ICE detainees. When he filed complaints, there was no follow-up.
