My good friend Barbara has been disappeared by ICE. Looking for any contacts or resources to help find her.

@laist.com @latimes.com @lataco.bsky.social @aclusocal.bsky.social
@nlg.la
My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life. A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about. We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility. Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing. I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process. Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.

@MrAndyNgo Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes. The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence. In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons. photo of three people in inflatable frog costumes

The Treasury Department is developing a one-dollar commemorative coin, bearing the image of President Trump, for the nation’s 250th birthday. But it’s not clear that a coin could legally feature an image of Trump; an 1866 act established that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency.
Treasury Plans to Mint $1 Commemorative Trump Coin
The coin, bearing President Trump’s face, would honor the 250th birthday of the United States.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Update on Barbara Marques: thanks to everyone’s advocacy Barbara is likely not being deported for two weeks while she fights her case. In the meantime she still faces inhumane conditions like starvation and denial of medical equipment and basic human needs. Please help us contact human rights orgs 👇
Help Barbara Fight for Her Future After ICE Detention NEW UPDATE We've learned that Barbara Marques is likely not facing immediate deportation and is back in South Louisiana. It's all thanks to YOUR work yesterday. THANK YOU. Her husband Tucker also spoke directly with Rep. Judy Chu, and her office continues to be aware and engaged. He was also interviewed by some national outlets. It's working!!! Though the U.S. government is in shutdown, ICE's enforcement operations are designated "essential" and may continue. We can't slow down now. Our new immediate concern is her safety and wellbeing inside ICE custody. Barbara has already endured inhumane treatment, including: Over 12 hours without food or water, denial of necessary medical equipment and even ibuprofen for pain, inability to sleep due to constant fear, bathrooms without toilet paper or basic supplies, and cancellation of her commissary account (when she was scheduled for deportation). This blocks access to soap, deodorant, blankets, and essentials even though funds were paid. These conditions are violations of basic human rights. We must make sure ICE knows the world is watching. * NEW CALL TO ACTION: Please help us get the attention of human rights and civil liberties organizations. Share Barbara's story, tag them, and demand they intervene and hold ICE accountable. Suggested instagram tags: @aclu_nationwide, @amnestyusa, @aclu.louisiana, @humanrightswatch, @splcenter, @raicestexas, @immigrantjustice, @detentionwatch, @nilc, @aba_crsj Every post, tag, and share increases the spotlight and makes it harder for ICE to act in the dark. Barbara now has legal protection through her motion to reopen, but we need to ensure she survives this period safely and with dignity.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.
