If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...
