The antidote to fear isn’t silence—it’s courage.

As the Trump administration moves to criminalize anti-fascism, @ashahshahani and Stephanie Guilloud argue this is the moment to be louder, bolder, and unapologetic about resisting fascism.

“Project South along with other organizations, discovered evidence of women being subjected to abuse, medical abuse, and gynecological procedures without informed and full consent." @ashahshahani told @emilywupearson @wabenews re: ICE + Irwin Cty Detention

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

This shocking development is very much in line with this administration's modus operandi of going to extreme lengths to dehumanize and brutalize migrants.

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

We will continue our work towards shutting down all ICE prisons and ensuring that all migrants are treated in accordance with international human rights standards.

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

Awful news: ICE is once again detaining migrants at the notorious Irwin County Detention Center, where migrant women were subjected to medical abuse and other egregious human rights violations.

As I told The Guardian, in response to the U.S. government's threats to further target human rights organizations: "Instead of cowering in fear, we will continue to organize our communities and protect and defend each other."

In 2016, @ashahshahani & Stephanie Guilloud traced how post-9/11 policies reshaped U.S. law enforcement disproportionately targeting Muslims & immigrants.

"The threat of terrorism has justified detention, incarceration and mass surveillance."

ICYMI, the death of 45-year-old Jesus Molina-Veya at the Stewart Detention Center has been confirmed as a suicide.
This is the 3rd confirmed suicide at Stewart and the 13th death at this deadly ICE prison.
Congress must shut down Stewart once and for all!
