UPDATE: Last night, Philippine Airlines refused to allow Greggy Sorio's deportation after pressure from community members, activists and medical professionals. The company cited his poor health condition, saying Sorio was not fit fly. He remains in ICE detention for now.
Community members are rallying at the Northwest Detention Center to condemn ICE's deportation of Greggy Sorio, also known as Kuya G, to the Philippines. Sorio is scheduled to be deported today at 6PM.

The movement also criticized the Philippine consulate, claiming that instead of advocating on Sorio's behalf, officials colluded with ICE to expedite his repatriation despite his poor health conditions. It's demanding a change in government policy toward Filipinos living abroad.

FIFA gave a peace prize to Trump.

Today, CODEPINK and allies protested outside of the World Cup draw where FIFA gave this prize to a warmonger who is terrorizing our cities with ICE and troops, arming Israel and the UAE, and committing war crimes in the Caribbean.
