Sign the Petition UNMASK ICE IN MARYLAND

Masked ICE agents operate without identification, warrants or accountability, while hiding their faces. We want our Maryland legislature to pass protections requiring ICE agents be clearly identified and operate without masks during arrests.

Pastor Daniel Fuentes Espinal is a beloved member of our Eastern Shore family, and we stand with him. He should be homeβ€”where he belongsβ€”with his wife, his children, and the community he’s served with compassion and faith for nearly a decade. #FreeDaniel #FuckICE #AbolishICE #CrushICE #MDIndivisible

Trump's masked agents aren't keeping us safe-they're just terrorizing immigrant communities.

PROPORTION OF IMMIGRANTS TAKEN BY ICE, BY CRIMINAL RECORD

7% violent convictions
28% no violent convictions
65% no convictions

ICE isn't going after criminals. It's breaking up families.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

No one should suffer this type of treatment. This regime needs to be held accountable for the torture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the hundreds of other men still trapped in CECOT. #JusticeForKilmar

ICE now has 3x more funding than the United States Marine Corps. Our hard-earned taxpayer money. Over $170+ billion handed over, and for what?

To rip families apart. To instill fear. To dismantle the very virtues by which this country was built. To help the rich get richer.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Greedy Billionaires are clueless about the needs of ordinary people, or flat out don’t care. So they mount the stupidest trade war ever, and plan to sacrifice Medicaid and so much more, for their GREEDY TAX GIVEAWAY. Raise the Alarm!!! Call, Donate, Boycott, Protest, Inform, Organize Strategically!
