ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear.

Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.
ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children
ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.

“Within a Galaxy of Leaves” available as an original ink drawing and as a giclée art print In a clearing, a noble white cat sits mesmerized by the open volume at her feet. Is it a favourite book revisited or something new? She reads by the generous light of the crescent moon which has kindly lowered itself from the night sky to provide illumination. The scene is framed by swaying grasses in the foreground and a mysterious white column. Behind her is a curtain of flowing, dark swirling leaves forming constellations of churning galaxies a la Van Gogh. Below the leaves, in the background, a shadowy figure lurks. Is all this actually happening or is it the dreamlike imaginings of the cat as she reads her book?

“Night Light”

From the archives

For more, visit my Etsy shop at
Etsy.com/Shop/TheArtOfRobHusberg
Night Light There’s nothing like curling up with a good book in the evening, especially when you have a friendly crescent moon over your shoulders to provide ample reading light. The moon is comfortably nestled in the tree; taking a rest from its nighttime journey, whilst the cat is settled on a nice curved branch with a soft tuft of leaves as a cushion. Rendered in black ballpoint pen

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

“Claire, the Lunatic”

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop!

We all have our peculiarities.

Find it here:
theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/1003...
“Claire, the Lunatic” giclée art print The crescent moon is poised gracefully on its side atop the garden gate, as if having a nice little rest. Or, is the moon visiting Claire the cat? Claire is a bit eccentric; some in the neighborhood even say she’s mad…downright crackers. In actuality, she’s just on a different wavelength, enabling her to request a social visit from the moon. After all, she sits outside and stares at the moon almost every night, meowing softly, as if in conversation. What do they talk about?

Veterans from every corner of the country came to DC this week to send one unified message to Congress: no troops on our streets.

Service members signed up to defend the Constitution, not to police their neighbors.

📸 Will Martinez
A white older man in a suit with military lapel pins and a cap smiles and holds up a sign that reads: "Veterans say: No troops on our streets. ACLU." He stands before stone steps. A group of people stand in the Capitol rotunda, smiling. Many are wearing suits and some are wearing hats that say "No troops on our streets." Four people stand smiling, posing in a hallway of the Capitol.
