Wilber remains gravely ill, with the bullet still lodged in his body, and he remains in ICE detention.
According to the detainee who spoke with his wife, Wilber appeared discolored, extremely swollen, and in significant pain.
Our immediate demands are clear: restore Wilber’s communication privileges and take him back to the hospital. He needs access to appropriate medical care.
Thank you to everyone who has continued supporting Wilber and his family.
wow. ICE confirms they have deported the mother of one of the citizen teens arrested by ICE in Texas while trying to enlist in the Marines.
This is shortly after she spoke out about her son's treatment https://t.co/Qk9Ly7haVv
🚨NEW from @AP: ICE is now electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
This morning, I signed the strongest law in the country to protect people from ICE.
With this law, we’re getting ICE out of our schools, childcare centers, hospitals, community health centers, nursing homes, and courthouses once and for all.
These are places where people go to be safe.
Now, in Massachusetts, they will be again.
"We are not the only family living in this Kafkaesque nightmare."
The sons of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas, earlier this month, demanded justice for their father and other families who have lost loved ones in ICE-related violence at a congressional hearing on Friday.
ICE has maintained that Salgado Araujo "weaponized" his vehicle during an attempted traffic stop, prompting an agent to shoot him in self-defense. The other men in the van, who remain in ICE custody, have disputed that allegation.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son: I am calling for a full investigation into the events that transpired on July 7. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.
Latino lawmaker asked to repeat himself "in English"—while already speaking English.
"Can you say that in English? I don't understand what you said."
Long period of shocked silence followed.
"Um, okay. Let me try to repeat that in English—which is language I was speaking."
Councilor Juan Carlos González is the first Latino councilman elected in Portland, Oregon.
To make matters worse—two days later fellow member Mary Nolan did apologize in front of the entire council—but first awkwardly in Spanish and then again in English.
"It did not feel great," González said. "I was shocked again for the second time in a week."
One of the best halftime shows ever. A love letter to our Latin culture, a powerful message. If you didn’t get the message, it wasn’t for you. Latinos thrive in joy, dance and happiness, even in the darkest times.
Benito, thank you! #SuperBowlLX#HalfTimeShow
