This is the cruelty ICE is meting out across the country. It’s important for communities to be aware. If you think this is wrong, contact your representatives in Congress.

Immigrants have been key to America’s vibrant cultural heritage. Without immigrants we’d be eating white bread and mayonnaise🤷🏻‍♂️

These stories lack an explainer on the cluster that getting even a green card is and how it is rejecting people that would be assets to their communities. Instead, people see only that they were refused permission to stay in the US and remained anyway.

That's awful I'm so sorry.

Really hope more people get pissed all over the country about all these cases.

"Are you white?"
"No"
"Then off to jail you go."

The guy renting the room beside me is a refugee from Ethiopia. He's here in Canada after waiting 7 years and hiding from the gangs trying to kidnap and torture him

If he'd gotten into the US instead of here, he'd probably already have been sent back

This is so unjust. Cruelty is a sport to these psychos.

The speed of this horrifying fascism is incredible. It’s barely been two months.

The father was released and is on house arrest so he can care for their 17 year old autistic son, but mother remains detained. This couple (here since 2008) has applied multiple times for legal permanent residency, but has always been denied. They are currently pending review again.

Sad. They obviously give so much more to America than they receive. We should be better than this.

Is this who voters imagined ICE arresting when Trump vowed to deport “criminals” and violent people smuggling drugs into the country? An older couple who adds to the culture and economy and donates to the community?

My fear is that someone reported them (for who knows what reason), thus demonstrating the potential weaponization of this extra-law-enforcement agency with little oversight.

I will post their gofundme below, but please realize this is bigger than just helping this one family. This is about getting the public to understand what mass deportation sweeps mean for real human lives and the communities that people are embedded within.

This is heartbreaking. 💔 Upstanding, gentle, caring people, who also provide for the hungry are unfairly punished while a convicted felon is positioning himself for dictatorship over our country. 😭

Call your reps and senators. This is not what ICE is supposed to be doing!!

I called! South Jersey congressman office stands with the work of this administration and they will twist your concerns and defend the king. Our voice will count only if we are all together….

The Trump/Musk/GOP coup is underway. When will the US military reach its tipping point and decide to honor its "Code of Conduct" to defend the Constitution against all enemies' Foreign and Domestic?

As a veteran myself. I respectfully disagree.
