This is wild- shelter beds (for adults) empty while families are waiting 6-9+ months for shelter space. Yet more family shelter, let alone trauma informed and secure family shelter, is not a meaningful part of the city's shelter bed spree 🤔

"We are increasingly seeing the devastating results of this mass deportation effort, which is children raising children," said Heather Yountz, senior immigration attorney at Mass Law Reform Institute. "What do the children do when their mom disappears?" #FamiliesBelongTogether

This generational trauma ICE is inflicting will reverberate for longer than we realize, in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Donate to Support Maria & Kids During Andru’s Detention, organized by Nat L Espanol abajo Maria and Andru have two daughters and have lived in Portland,OR… Nat L needs your support for Support Maria & Kids During Andru’s Detention

This Portland family is reeling from the violence of ICE detention. Maria, Andru, and their young daughters were able to start their lives in Oregon over a year ago, but with Andru arbitrarily detained last week their safety and stability is at risk. Please share & donate: tinyurl.com/SupportAndru

While PDX warzone claims are absurd, the response does feel like it masks both profound scarcity & violence of poverty here (family shelter wait-list has 100s of fams waiting months to sleep inside) &the destruction of other communities through war&extraction to create relative US wealth and peace.

Thank you so much!!

If you suspect immigration related enforcement please call the PIRC hotline, take photos if you can 1-888-622-1510

Trump announced that he’s directing federal troops to Portland. Portlanders look after each other, and that’s how we’re going to overcome these threats.🧵

✅Report suspected federal agent sightings to PIRC’s hotline (1-888-622-1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media.

I actually don’t think we should victim blame protestors for what the feds are going to do. We’ve seen them do it to perfectly peaceful protestors.

People need to be wise, use discretion, and center those most impacted, and I truly detest this rhetoric.

(8/8) PIRC will continue to share updates on instagram and whatsapp as the situation develops. Remember: in scary times, rumors can fly quickly and cause unnecessary fear throughout our communities. By sharing verified information, calling the hotline, and showing up for each other, we keep us safe.

(7/8) Don’t forget: There is a network of people prepared to support you if anything happens. In our state, our neighbors, our schools, and our elected officials are all ready to respond and show up for immigrant Oregonian families.

(6/8)4. Share your phone location with trusted loved ones so they know where you are
5. Take special care to follow all traffic laws. Unfortunately, ICE sometimes uses minor violations to pull people over.

(5/8)2. If you are not already enrolled in the Equity Corps of Oregon program to receive free legal services, call 1-888-274-7292 (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm)
3. Complete a family preparedness plan (link in our bio/for whatsapp: post link - www.latnet.org/immigration-... )

(4/8) 1. Please call the PIRC hotline if you witness ICE, rather than messaging on social media or emailing, as the hotline is where PIRC can answer most quickly. Spanish language updates are available on Whatsapp: whatsapp.com/channel/0029...

(3/8) As always, ensure you have the PIRC hotline number (1-888-622-1510) saved and be prepared to call us as soon as possible if your loved one is detained, ICE has stopped you or is at your door, or you witness an ICE detention.

(2/8) We do not yet know if those agents are here for immigration enforcement, to continue federal police attacks on protesters, both, or something else. What we do know is that this is scary news - and, there are things we can all do to prepare and keep ourselves and each other safe.

Via PIRC: As many of you may have heard by now, tonight, Mayor Wilson and City of Portland officials held a press conference about that an unknown number of federal agents recently arrived in Portland today, September 26. (1/8)

We are currently in touch with 3 families sleeping on the street in Multnomah county- seeking shelter every day waitlists are 6-12 months long. This is a critical investment & will only chip away at the need. We must commit to ending childhood unsheltered homelessness, housing for all!

Please contact your representative and ask that they do whatever is within their power to stop his deportation to give lawyers a chance to fight his case.

September 16th- one person was detained this morning by ICE in the Portsmouth neighborhood of North Portland, OR. Another person was detained in the same area yesterday. ICE and other law enforcement may still be in the area as of 9:30am, and PIRC legal observers are still present in the area.

Trigger Warning: Suicide
1/2 On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay (9/10), we remember that suicide in immigration detention is not inevitable—it’s preventable. Detention isolates community members and puts their lives at deadly risk—that’s why deportation defense is suicide prevention.
