Remember — NO judicial warrant? NO entry! You have a right to NOT open your door 🙅🏿 Acuérdense — SIN orden judicial, NO HAY ENTRADA! Tienen el derecho a NO abrir sus puertas 🙅🏽‍♀️

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

“On my first trip, I asked how I would know what a human bone looks like. They told me I would know. On the second day, I found a femur. After four months, I learned to spot chalky white remains from 50 to 100 feet away.”

Today, over 40 organizations came together at the Texas Capitol in Austin to advocate for working class Texans to take BACK their power ✊🏽 Advocates discussed labor rights, women’s rights, abortion access, justice for incarcerated folks, immigration rights + more 🔗 www.statesman.com/picture-gall...

¿Sabían que el ILRC tiene un Plan de Preparación Familiar que ayudará a familias poder planificar en momentos de emergencia? 🚨 Nuestro equipo logró hablar con Radio Bilingüe para detallar la importancia de las tarjetas rojas, y otros recursos para inmigrantes. 🎙️ www.facebook.com/share/v/15zJ...

Texan organizations and allies have been sounding the alarm 🚨 The state of TX has been GROUND ZERO for the nationwide enforcement, surveillance, and anti-immigrant wave we’ve seen growing in 2025. States taking federal matters into their hands hurts us all 🔗 news4sanantonio.com/news/local/s...

Just incredible reporting by @stevanzetti.bsky.social. How many Dallas-area immigrants have been victimized by this explicitly racist ICE prosecutor? www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

The school “was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified.”

While our politicos pit us against each other for their own power grabs and monetary gains — real human beings are paying the price, with their lives. We do not wish to live in a world where innocent children are driven to such despair. Rest in peace, Jocelynn Rojo Carranza 🕯️ t.co/grQf5S5CaR

Trans people have always been here and trans people WILL ALWAYS BE HERE

Today, I spoke w/Ann Block and Nityha Nathan-Pineau of @the-ilrc.bsky.social to discuss the onslaught of changes in the intersection of the criminal and immigration legal systems. Specifically, how the Laken Riley Act could get innocent people sent to Guantanamo Bay open.spotify.com/episode/0XIV...

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

Our brilliant attorneys got to chat w/ Public Defenseless on their podcast 🎙️ to break down how the Laken Riley Act can entangle innocent people within the criminal legal system. An incredible listen talking all things executive orders, policies + due process 🔗 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3...

Reminder 🔔 You can download pdf’s to print your own Know Your Rights cards at home 🔗 www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta... These cards are not a cure-all — but what they are is a tool to empower our communities with the complete understanding that they DO have due process rights, regardless of status!

Today I am releasing a special timed edition of 'Mother of Exiles’ with my friends at Nakatomi. All profits from these 18x24” silkscreen prints feat. metallic copper ink will be donated to the @the-ilrc.bsky.social. www.nakatomiinc.com/products/mot... #immigration #liberty #statueofliberty #art

From @kitoconnell.com in 2022: How Texas used @nytimes.com's inaccurate and misleading reporting about gender-affirming care for young people as evidence in court when the state accused supportive parents of child abuse.

“Many, many of the people involved in influencing policy in Washington D.C. are not registered as lobbyists. The most important people tend not to be registered as lobbyists.”

Step 4: Fool the entire state of TX into believing their tax dollars just can’t stretch far enough to strengthen public school funding and other community needs, while pumping Texan taxpayer dollars up to $6 BILLION into border schemes. New tanks and toys for me, no community support for thee.

#printmakers - here's a way to help. @the-ilrc.bsky.social produces these small red cards with the script to help immigrants in dealing with ICE. They're out of cards, but they provide the PDFs for free www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta... -if you can, print out some, and hand them out to your community

Creating our own 'Red Cards' today -small tools of protection to help keep our communities strong, together. If you'd like to support your neighbors in knowing their rights, here are templates to get you started: www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta... Or search "ILRC Red Cards" @the-ilrc.bsky.social #resist

What should you if encountering ICE? @kqednews.kqed.org breaks down the steps including the ILRC’s Red Cards as supplemental tools to help folks remember their constitutional rights wherever they go. Asking the right questions and witnesses to the encounter are crucial www.kqed.org/news/1202564...

Fascinating story about the premiere “you’ve been deported, now what” self-help pamphlet and some of the people behind it. By @nellsalzman.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/08/a...

“A rebuke from the prophet Isaiah has been ringing in my ears the past few weeks: ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter’ (5:20).” sojo.net/articles/opi...
