[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

Thank you to @RepEspaillat and @SenBlumenthal for reintroducing the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act! Everyone deserves to feel safe when taking their children to school, the doctor’s office, and child care.

Zariah is a beloved community member who is not a danger nor a flight risk. She has immense support from her family and friends in the U.S. who are willing to support her through her case outside of detention. Ask @ICEgov to stop unjustly detaining her. https://t.co/EeZ44Ov8AK

The @sfchronicle series gives a platform to anti-immigrant groups that further criminalizes our Latinx immigrant community, making it even harder for immigrant survivors to get the help they need to escape abusive situations. #ICEoutofSF

[Free SF @FreeSFCoalition]

The @sfchronicle fails to name the complexity and role of DV and trafficking for the immigrant community.

For immigrant survivors, seeking help could also mean endangering themselves or their loved ones to further violence, including deportation. #ICEoutofSF

[Free SF @FreeSFCoalition]

It's been over a month since the @sfchronicle published their sensationalist series that perpetuated stereotypes on the immigrant community.

They failed to provide corrections or significant context so today we’re publishing @CUAV's letter to the editor to bridge the info gap.✍️

.@sfstandard @davidfortheppl: The public deserves to know who paid for this poll, what else participants heard *before* being asked about sanctuary, what model was used for likely voters, and whether the Sanctuary Policy was described accurately 1/

BREAKING: Hunger strikers in Central Valley immigration detention have filed a class action lawsuit against ICE & GEO Group for illegal retaliation. Strikers are protesting unpaid labor & inhumane conditions and demanding their release and shutdown of facilities.

[California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice @CCIJustice]

It's day 8 of the hunger strike and some strikers have reported they have already lost over 10 pounds. 😰Help us show ICE they are not alone ➡️ https://t.co/YYj6YYwOFz

[Alex Mensing @alex_mensing]

Think about joining 76 people in not eating to protest an injustice. Think about looking each other in the eye, each and every one, and knowing you are in solidarity and fighting for what's right. This is a big deal.

"The forms of retaliation, she said, have included being placed in solitary confinement, being threatened with transfer to an out-of-state facility, being written up, and 'they have been subjected to sexually abusive pat-downs.'" #ShutDownMVandGSA

[Justice Action Center @jactioncenter]

BREAKING: The Biden admin just announced an asylum ban.

The proposed regulation will effectively slam the door on asylum seekers who want nothing more than the opportunity to present their case. This isn’t just cruel, it’s a dismissal of our international treaty obligations.

[Lizzie Davis @lizzieadavis]

77 immigrants detained at Golden State Annex & Mesa Verde facilities are going on hunger strike. They have suffered horrible conditions and retaliation by @ICEgov @WeAreGeo. It’s time to #ShutDownMVandGSA @POTUS #SupportHungerStrikers➡️https://t.co/M1vPC11Lby

"Right now there are more than 17 people being investigated on top of the 5 convictions that have already come out... so we are seeing that the number of victims, people who were sexually abused, harassed is probably much larger than what we know now"

-Andrea Reyes, Attorney

[Mission Action Deport Defense @SFDeportDefense]

A sprawling criminal investigation, multiple Congressional inquiries & nat'l media reporting over the last several yrs have revealed that staff at the Federal women’s prison in Dublin, CA sexually abused countless people in their custody

"...hay más de 17 personas siendo investigadas en adición a las 5 condenas que ya han salido...estamos viendo que el número de víctimas, personas que fueron abusadas sexualmente, acosadas probablemente es mucho más grande de lo que sabemos ahora"

🚨BREAKING: 77 people in @ICEgov custody at Mesa Verde & Golden State Annex in CA launch a joint hunger strike demanding the shutdown of both facilities & immediate release of all those in custody. #CollectiveLiberation #ShutDownMVandGSA https://t.co/HtjZil1i2N

Gustavo Adolfo Flores Coreas recalls being subjected to “abusive pat-downs” by guards every time he left his dorm at the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield.

He began to skip meals to avoid the pat-downs

Now, he’s one of 77 on a hunger strike
