ICE just quarantined 9 detainees and is monitoring 24 more across 10 different facilities, per a COVID-19 DHS doc leaked to me.

Meanwhile, DHS' intelligence agency is "monitoring for indications of virus-induced migrant flows or sick migrants":

Trump’s re-election is a direct threat to our communities. Sen. @BernieSanders has a long history of progressive stances + consistently remains on side of working people. That's why we're proud to endorse Sanders for president.https://t.co/beYMtIksNj #VamosConBernie #FueraTrump

#1Job Should Be Enough for *all* airline workers—including the thousands of subcontracted workers who, despite being essential to helping keep the industry inflight, are left in poverty as airlines like @AmericanAir, @Delta, @United enjoy booming profits.

"The immigration system has always been about Exclusion and Expulsion," says Donald Anthonyson of @familiesfreedom. That's why we need a #NewWayForward, which would end the criminalization of immigrants by repealing the harsh ‘96 laws that shaped today's immigration landscape.
