Today is #FathersDay. And today, ICE is trying to permanently tear Oscar Bermudes away from his seven year-old son, Angel, his daughter, Liseth, his older son, Oscar Jr, and his wife, Maria.
ICE is trying to deport Oscar in the coming days.

“I came to wish my dad a Happy Father’s Day. This might be the last time I see him before he gets deported next week to El Salvador. Me duele el corazón ver a mi papi por la última vez a través de una ventana. My dad went to work one Sunday morning, and never came back.”
- Liseth
Oscar’s daughter, Liseth, says “My dad has always been great to us—my mom Maria, my brother Oscar Jr., and my little brother Angel. It is heart wrecking whenever Angel asks for our dad and asks why he's not home.“
Oscar was detained 2 weeks ago after the vehicle he was a passenger in made a wrong turn following GPS instructions and they ended up at a CBP checkpoint in upstate New York. Now, ICE plans to deport Oscar immediately.

The New York For All Act will ensure NY city & state resources are not taken away from our communities & diverted to ICE's agenda.
Together we can build a New York for every family to live with dignity and without fear.
We must act now & pass #NY4All!

Breaking: A federal judge has barred Rockland and Orange counties from enforcing executive orders targeting migrant arrivals finding they intentionally discriminate against migrants & violate their rights to travel freely within New York State @News12WC@News12HV@NYCLU
What I see when I look at this map is a lot of farm land where many farmworkers are not able to stay inside today. Shout out to @RocRRN and other community orgs who are getting masks to folks and checking in.
While we're told it's too dangerous to be outside, farmworkers are still doing strenuous work outdoors. We're collecting masks to distribute to workers around the Rochester region. Message us if you have a stash!

Thank you Álvaro w/ @local79nyc and Luis w/ @AlianzaAgricola for sharing how local collusion with ICE + CBP allows employers to exploit immigrant workers’ fear of deportation and why the Senate +Assembly must pass New York for All. We need #NY4All now! https://t.co/bXfVlmu0tf
@GovKathyHochul@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie this is Dalila’s story of family separation due to police collusion w/ ICE. It doesn’t have to be that way for other immigrant NYers. You have the power to protect our communities. Will you fight to pass #NY4All before session ends?
🚨URGENTE: A medida que la sesión legislativa llega a su fin, ¡debemos asegurarnos de que @CarlHeastie y @AndreaSCousins pasen #NY4All!
La Ley de Nueva York para Todos garantizará que los recursos de la ciudad y el estado de NY no se desvíen a la agenda de ICE y su crueldad.
Whether you arrived 5 days ago or 50 years ago Buffalo can and should be a place where we can welcome and support immigrants and all of us can thrive. Join us with your voice, your signs and your love for our beautiful community!
Very happy to see our Buffalo and Erie county leaders coming out in support of asylum seekers! As a community we can and should welcome all immigrants!
