Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Broken Hope and other OIA publications — Ohio Immigrant Alliance Join us for an evening with author Lynn Tramonte as she discusses her book, Broken Hope: Deportation and the Road Home, as well as more recent projects on the topic of immigration and deportation. B...

Really excited for this author talk at Coventry Library in Cleveland Heights on May 21! Hope to see many friendly faces there. Save the date: ohioimmigrant.org/events-list/... #OhioIsHome

"[SCOTUS] may ultimately decide whether America will have two parallel prison systems: One in which an accused arsonist or embezzler or drug dealer might walk free on bail, and another in which a student who overstayed her visa or a roofer who overlooked a piece of mail must be jailed for months."

...who tried to save Manuel Mayllazhungo, an indigenous man who had been in line for a U visa, from deportation. Trump admin's cruelty is abundant.

The Churches That Fought for Due Process - Christianity Today An Ecuadorian immigrant with legal status fell into a detention “black hole.” Church leaders across the country tried to pull him out.

Operation Metro Surge results in $203 million impact on Minneapolis Even with an imminent end, City leaders still call for immediate withdrawal of ICE agents and request funds to aid in crisis recovery.

Astounding report on the impact of Trump's ICE invasion of Minneapolis on the city, in dollars and cents, plus the intangible impacts.

They've made 9,000 kids' lives unstable.

a "preemptive strike" on elementary school girls. dear god

I never went in for him. I saw how he acted when we were close to passing immigration reform. He had his priorities crossed. I am sure people will argue about this but I was literally right there.

And many campaign consultants steer them wrong by polling only likely voters. So they think they’re trying to create a brand to take votes from Republicans who vote, instead of creating a brand that will mobilize people who don’t vote regularly to do so. tramontela.medium.com/the-politics...

US gov't wants to send him to Uganda, where he has no connections + Muslims are in danger. I know Tambadou personally; he is a wonderful man. All he wants is for Mauritania to be a place where Black people can LIVE. Read behind paywall: archive.ph/Uap8R

Mauritanian faces deportation to a country he's never visited Nadhirou Tambadou came to Cincinnati to escape harm in Mauritania. He fears new harm if sent to Uganda.

If Tambadou can't obtain asylum in this admin, no one can. His father was tortured + murdered at the infamous Inal massacre. He + his family in Mauritania have been jailed + attacked by police, threatened for demanding justice. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/p...

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.

The problem we face, from the cops to the courts to the capitalist robber barons & their vassals in Congress:

“In America, white supremacy & violence are their own form of patriotism.”

This is batshit crazy and I’ve seen it happen in other cases. Many people have the same name. The U.S. govt must be required to provide accurate information. Immigrants certainly are. Instead, some “judges” are rubber stamping DHS lies.
