Fearing ICE, parents make plans for their childrenβs care
Some families give legal authority to others to make key decisions about a childβs life if a parent is detained and deported.
Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.

EspaΓ±ol: Descansa en paz, Victor Manuel Diaz. Era un inmigrante latino secuestrado por ICE en Minneapolis. FalleciΓ³ bajo custodia de ICE en el Campamento East Montana, Texas, mientras enfrentaba la deportaciΓ³n.
Tenemos un sistema de inmigraciΓ³n injusto que sigue cobrΓ‘ndose la vida de nuestros vecinos y destrozando familias.
El Campamento East Montana es un centro de detenciΓ³n de inmigrantes de gestiΓ³n privada, con un costo de $1.24 mil millones de dΓ³lares, financiado con los impuestos de los contribuyentes. Existen informes sobre la falta de acceso a medicamentos y otras deficiencias. Este centro debe ser cerrada.

2nd day of final exams for Fall '25 at UNC and buildings are *locked* as they are usually on weekends. You'd think somebody from the Registrar Office would have called Campus Facilities to let them know finals are scheduled today and thousands of students are coming into their regular classrooms

Remembering Black Veterans Targeted for Racial Violence in the U.S.
Honoring those who fought abroad for our country, and at home for equality and justice.
This #VeteransDay, EJI acknowledges the plight of many Black veterans who, instead of being treated as honored members of society upon their return from service, were often attacked, lynched, mistreated and abused.
