Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE
Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.
Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee whoโs been in America since he was two years old.
He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him
His health is declining, they wonโt let him get his legs and theyโve placed him in solitary

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded โany future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.โ
The result was โinstitutionalized hunger.โ

Portland schools heighten security due to immigration enforcement activity
The district wrote to parents and staff that school leaders are developing dismissal plans to ensure students can return home safely this afternoon.
Schools should be safe havens, not training grounds for surviving government violence. Thank you PPS for putting our students & their safety first.
If you see ICE in your neighborhood call PIRC (1-888-622-1510). Call my office (503-231-2300) if your friend or family member has been detained.

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability
The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with womanโs car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Over 750,0000 working class Oregonians rely on SNAP.

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement โMobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.โ He also said โICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a โdefinitiveโ determination of a personโs status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenshipโincluding a birth certificateโif the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americansโ rights and freedoms.โ
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

With ICE acting like Gestapo psychopaths, good time to remind folks that being undocumented is a misdemeanor, and staying past your visa is only a civil matter.
Neither requires you to football tackle, zip tie, and beat and mace folks, or shoot tear gas and pepper spray at people. These are gross

LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters
These programs "should be safe sanctuariesโand we can't even guarantee that anymore."
A recent federal policy change allowing immigration enforcement at domestic violence shelters has also created more barriers for undocumented survivors, who advocates say already deal with abusers threatening to report them to ICE or take their children out of the country as a means of control.
