#AbolishICE

[We Are CASA @wearecasaorg]

Maryland’s immigration reform bills passed! 🎉 Despite the governor’s best efforts to thwart immigrant protections, the vetoes of the #DignityNotDetention and #DriverPrivacyAct were overridden. Thank you to all who helped CASA fight for this tremendous victory. #OverrideTheVetoes

.@CBP agents on horses are running after Haitians in Del Rio with lariats. Why? Because they are seeking asylum. @Secmayorkas, @potus, seeking asylum is legal! Stop all expulsion flights now. #ImmigrationIsABlackIssue

BREAKING: York County is ending its agreement with ICE to detain people at its jail. The Biden administration must now release those who remain there so that they can be home while their immigration cases proceed.

MASK OFF: Gov. Hogan just vetoed the Dignity Not Detention Act, my bill to ban ICE detention centers in Maryland. Hogan plays a "moderate" on MSNBC, but has never been a friend to our immigrant neighbors.

I look forward to the General Assembly overriding this veto next session.

[Eric Luedtke @EricLuedtke]

Larry Hogan's vetoes today are typical of an increasingly extremist Republican party. Defending a broken, punitive immigration system. Doubling down on mass incarceration and the drug war. Rejecting a transparent, equitable parole process.

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

HoCo Dems, immigrants and their families are counting on you to override these vetoes ASAP. @katiefryhester @ClarenceLamMD @GuyGuzzone @courtneywatson1 @JessicaFeldmark @EricEbersole @VoteTerriHill @JenTerrasa @VAtterbeary

[We Are CASA @wearecasaorg]

🚨BREAKING! @GovLarryHogan has vetoed #DignityNotDetention and #DriverPrivacyAct – two of the most critical immigration reform bills in Maryland. @MDSenate @mdhousedems we are counting on your leadership to override his vetoes as soon as possible.

[Cecil Solidarity @CecilSolidarity]

Now add your name to this petition to stand in support and solidarity with the inmates suffering these abuses and demand justice!

If you watch nothing else today, watch this heartbreaking story of Cecil County Detention Center denying emergency medical care to an inmate

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

@HoCoGovExec , by #BlackLivesMatter , did you mean "except in Howard County high schools"?

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

The notion that HoCo and its gov. is immune to 'national' problems was also the argument made to support the contract with ICE, however, even Trump's DHS disagreed with that argument. https://t.co/r4HvJ2dPPa

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

Good to know. Now can we see some policies/laws, not just words, that break from the Trump/Miller world view?

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

Ending the ICE contract was unpopular among Dems who're loyal to @HoCoGovExec when he was opposed to it. And when he changed his stance, some of the same people turned into supporters of #HB16. Makes you wonder if this is about loyally to some elected or protecting immigrants.

[Friends of Latin America @FriendsLatinAm]

As members of a Coalition who fought hard to put an end to the ICE contract and faced @HoCoGovExec's efforts to sabotage our struggle, we're thankful for those Democrats who dared to support our cause. It takes a lot of decency and courage to be independent in HoCo nowadays.

[HoCo Coalition for Immigrant Justice @HC_Immigrants]

Our gratitude also goes to @LizWalshHoCoD1 who sponsored #CB51 last Sept to cancel HoCo's contract with ICE. Undoubtedly that bill (passed in county council but immediately vetoed by @HoCoGovExec ) added crucial momentum to the eventual ending of the ICE contract in the county.

[Jews United for Justice @jufj]

HB16, the Dignity Not Detention bill, just passed 86-46 and heads to the Governor. THIS IS AN AMAZING WIN! Thank you @DelegateStewart @Willcsmithjr for sponsoring this bill, and to @WanikaFisher for your work in adding strengthening lang. from HB304. #MGDA21 🥳

[David Moon @DavidMoon2014]

The bill to close Maryland's ICE detention facilities just passed veto-proof & is headed to the desk of @GovLarryHogan 👇

This bill includes policing provisions so police cannot double as ICE agents, detaining & asking about immigration status of these Marylanders. Now, it's off to the governor's desk.
