The officials pushing local partnerships with ICE say they benefit public safety, and the media often fails to question that claim. ⬇️
In reality, law enforcement agencies already have all the tools they need to go after violent criminals. 287(g) agreements shift their focus to immigration instead.

Comparing 287(g) arrests in the most recent three months to the same period last year tells a different story: ICE is pulling officers away from public safety work to round up immigrants with no criminal history.

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

A system meant to help folks through the worst days of their lives pivoted to instead orchestrate the worst days of people's lives.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

From the family separations of Trump 1.0 to the human rights atrocities happening today, Citizens Bank has remained loyal to ICE detention giants GEO Group and CoreCivic.
Fortunately, there are people as dedicated to fighting for what's right as Citizens Bank is to making money at any cost.

Talk about dedication. Temperature was 21 degrees, wind chill in teens, yet here we are protesting Citizens Bank complicity in building ice prisons. Three of us turned out and stayed for full hour. Some guy made a point to pull into a driveway to scream and yell for my backing rapists and murderers.

Kavanaugh stops will traumatize a generation.
Worth noting that there are also more than 1,200 partnerships between ICE and state/local law enforcement agencies that effectively deputize their officers to work for ICE, so this decision may affect public safety even more extensively.

In Virginia + nationwide, most of what ICE is doing has nothing to do with crime. According to ICE’s own stats.
Most of the time they’re arresting people who aren’t even suspected of a crime.
There’s no reason for state or local gov to volunteer support for this.
Collaboration is voluntary.
