Purple, blue, and yellow flyer for Avelo Takedown Overpass Protest and Dancy Party against ICE deportation flights. August 31st from 10am to noon at Amtrak/Marc Station, BWI Airport, 7 Amtrak Way, Hanover, MD 21076. Park in the MARC garage and walk along the short pedestrian trail to the overpass.

GBDSA is protesting at BWI airport next weekend as part of a national @stopavelo.bsky.social action, with our comrades in Baltimore Rapid Response Network, @docs4campclosure.bsky.social and others to demand the eviction of ethnic cleansing profiteers @aveloair.bsky.social !

"[Kate Sugarman] began protesting inhumane conditions in ICE detention facilities during the first Trump administration, Sugarman said, but she’s now protesting ICE’s operations more broadly.

“We’re trying to throw sand in every aspect of the ICE machine,” she said."

Upset at budget airline’s role in ICE deportations, 100 rally at BWI The protesters said they wanted to pressure the airline and discourage people from flying with Avelo.

In the @thebaltimorebanner.com, Giacomo Bologna provides a great description of the banner drop, march, and songful protest by @docs4campclosure.bsky.social, @groundice.bsky.social, and @baltimoredsa.org today at @bwiairport.bsky.social against @aveloair.bsky.social and their contract with ICE.

people protesting Avelo Airlines. Text: No contract with ICE. March, rally, banner drop

Avelo Airlines is cashing in on deportations. In April, they took $150M from ICE to run flights that tear families apart. We won’t be silent.

🗓️ July 27, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
📍Amtrak/MARC Station, 7 Amtrak Way, BWI Airport
🚶Walk the BWI (paved) trail to the 195 overpass!

Join the protest:
Sunday, July 27, 10:30 AM–12:30 PM
Amtrak/MARC Station, 7 Amtrak Way, BWI Airport, MD 21240

This is about more than just flights — it’s about refusing to let Maryland play a role in tearing families apart.
#StopAvelo #EndICEFlightst #groundice

Protest 7/27 @ BWI - Avelo Airlines is making millions flying deportation flights for ICE.
In April, Avelo signed a $150 million contract to help ICE remove immigrants from the country. Now they’re operating out of BWI Airport — and we’re standing up to say: Not in our state.

It’s also a lie that there were zero border crossings; what he’s garbled here is that Border Patrol released zero people directly at the border, which is not the same as saying zero people were released because some people were transferred to ICE and then released.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we remember: Seeking safety is not a crime.

Refugees and asylum seekers deserve dignity, not detention and cruelty.

The fight for human rights knows no borders. #TheMarchContinues

When you’re just grabbing brown people

No birthright citizenship decision today! See you all back here next week.

Trump Demoted; Stephen Miller In Charge While Donald Trump may be the one sitting behind the Resolute Desk, Stephen Miller is the one running the show.

@tusk81.bsky.social telling the unspoken fact: “It’s been increasingly obvious that Miller is running the show – and not just on mass detention and abductions.”

Its so obvious from the “backtracking the backtracking” and Kristi Noem being PR head of DHS. 🤡

Who’s running the US? Stephen Miller.

There's a widening number of protests and people organizing and I am so grateful for it! Power of the people shining a light on wanting dignity, liberty, and justice for all. #GroundIce #DueProcess #HonorableLeaders #RestoreTheStandard

@billgates.bsky.social Cascade’s stated values and objectives include “acting lawfully, honestly, ethically, and with integrity.” How can it tolerate a company it co-owns (Signature Aviation) enabling ICE, which regularly acts lawlessly, deceptively, unethically, and without integrity? #GroundICE

I 30% of Signature Aviation is owned by Bill Gates’ investment company, Cascade Asset Management.
ICE acts cruelly, lawlessly, and recklessly. Do not be complicit. @gatesfoundation.bsky.social @billgates.bsky.social
#GroundICE #DueProcess

Yesterday, together with other organizations, we protested Signature Air. @signatureaviation.bsky.social, you are providing ICE with fuel to assist deportation. CE uses private charter planes to transport prisoners, Signature Aviation provides ground support to those planes across the country.

“Failing to act now will establish a dangerous precedent of capitulation. If universities do not stand together now, they will stand alone—and one by one, they will fall.
The path forward requires considerable courage—shared courage. Leadership must stand together to ensure our institutions endure.”

@senbillferg.bsky.social -- do you want to be known as a coward?

Marylanders: Call Bill Ferguson and tell him to pass the Maryland Values Act.

The Trump admin. mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a father and Maryland legal resident, to an El Salvador mega-prison. Call Senate President Ferguson now to demand he bring HB1222, the Maryland Values Act to a vote and end MD's role in ICE abuses: 855-971-2474

Marylanders, we need to support our immigrant neighbors now more than ever. Ask MD Senate leadership to pass the Maryland Values Act (HB 1222) now.

URGENT: TAKE ACTION BALTIMORE RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK Push the Maryland Values Act (HB1222) through the Senate Judiciary Committee! This bill would end 287(g) agreements that allow local police to act as ICE agents. We have just a few short days to get it voted out of committee. Police & law enforcement lobbyists have been trying to convince senators to kill the bill. Daily calls to these offices are critical, even if you've already called them before.

URGENT: TAKE ACTION BALTIMORE RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK TAKE ACTION TO STOP MD COPS FROM WORKING AS ICE AGENTS! EVERYONE: Call Bill Ferguson, President of the MD State Senate. Let his staff know if you're in his district (46). 410-841-3600 "I am asking if I can count on you to pass H.B. 1222 without ANY watering down of the bill or weakening protections for immigrants. ."

URGENT: TAKE ACTION BALTIMORE RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK TAKE ACTION TO STOP MD COPS FROM WORKING AS ICE AGENTS! EVERYONE: Even though they don't serve the Baltimore area, these state senators hold key roles on the committee holding back the bill. Chair of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, Will Smith: 410-841-3634 Vice Chair of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, Jeff Waldstreicher: 410-841-3137 "I am asking if I can count on you to pass H.B. 1222 without ANY watering down of the bill or weakening protections for immigrants."

‼️Take action to stop cops working as ICE agents in MD‼️

@senbillferg.bsky.social -- do you want to be known to your family and community as someone who did nothing when ICE started kidnapping Marylanders off the street? It's now or never.
EVERYONE CALL BILL FERGUSON AND LEAVE A MESSAGE 410 841 3600 tell him to PASS THE MARYLAND VALUES ACT

Will Trump like it if we pass the Maryland Values Act & the other bills to protect our people, documented or not? No! But Trump won’t accept anything less than abject submission. Is that the plan? If we won’t take a stand when Marylanders are abducted without due process, where exactly is the line?

200+ Organizations Request Senate Leadership to Immediately Pass the Maryland Values Act (HB 1222) – We Are Casa

With one day left in MD’s session, President
@senbillferg.bsky.social
is holding the MD Values Act (#HB1222)—a bill that would END 287g, allowing cops to become ICE agents. The House has done its part. We believe in your leadership and values @senbillferg.bsky.social. Now is the time to act.

Tldr

Senate President Bill Ferguson is refusing to end 287g, which allows Maryland cops to act as ICE agents. With just one day left in Maryland's legislative session,we need him to act now. His number is 14108413600. Leave a message.
