Shame on you @GovNedLamont. For yrs our families have struggled to be in touch with their loved ones, especially now, due to outrageous costs. Now you want to make more money off them in the middle of a pandemic? No way. We’re fighting back with our comrades and our fams.
Once again, DHS and IJs make it impossible to post bond for someone. Y is it that they require a specific kind of ORIGINAL ID to be produced before bond can be posted for Black immigrants from African countries? Racist system that needs to be abolished. #FreeBlackImmigrants
Rain can’t stop us! We’re gonna be outside York CI today starting at 10am to demand that we #FreeHer#FreeOurSisters. We’ll have masks and ponchos available to keep e/o safe! Join us!

When ICE comes into our neighborhoods they wear “police” jackets and frequently identify as such. We see no distinction between the 2 agencies, they both work (and often together) to tear communities apart. #DefundThePolice#FallFreedomDay2020 https://t.co/tsvv8EScrG
It’s #FallFreedomDay2020! Today, members of the @bailfundnetwork are working together to pay nearly $3 million in ransom to get our people out of cages. This action builds upon years of organizing calls to #FreeThemAll and #AbolishICE.
We're raising funds to support #FreeBakhodir, Madina, and their family after ICE quickly and forcibly moved to deport him at the end of Sept. Madina has had to leave her job to take care of their kids as they are really struggling. Plz share widely! https://t.co/IsXuIqnet4

🚨 ICE is trying to deport 100+ Cameroonian immigrants & using violent repression and abuse to try to do this in the next day.
👇👇 Take action now and demand their release!
Forgot to add @freedomtothrive as part of the advocacy team.
Truly thank you everyone who made phone calls, sent emails and supported Ousman and his family.
A congressional oversight committee found that ICE detainees died after receiving inadequate medical care and that jail staff “falsified records to cover up” issues. https://t.co/JbWTRpSIDv via @Haleaziz
Action! 🚨 Alert!
Join us Thursday morning in the spirit of Rosh Hashanah to tell DPH: Blow the Whistle on the abuse at Bristol County House of Corrections!

[THREAD] Community--we are devastated to share with you that around midnight, ICE forced Bakhodir on a plane and deported him to Uzbekistan. We are taking some time to process, connect with the attorneys, coalition members, and most importantly Madina and the boys. #FreeBakhodir
