Marta’s family has a gofundme up now. Link here as well as an English translation in my thread.

Quick follow up to the SLC Airport ICE kidnapping…
Thank you. Media coverage made a huge difference for another local resident, the violinist. Hopefully news coverage can help here too. The detained woman’s sister said she was taken to an empty warehouse which is extremely disturbing and not normal procedure.
Sent you a message on your insta from the reporter trying to reach you
What she’s saying is “I have my papers.” We can no longer stand by while this happens.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
Do you want to be known for being charged with federal crimes of interfering with an ICE agent when the Nazis came? Or do you want to be standing around? Those are the only two choices now.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
CONFIRMED ICE at SLC AIRPORT WED, OCT 29TH at 4:15pm: They count on us being paralyzed by shock. It won’t stop until we stop it. Do we risk interfering with federal officers? Or do we just watch it happen while they beg us for help. Is that where you want to live?
I know it’s instinct to freeze but we have got to stop standing around when this happens and intervene. It won’t stop until we stop it.

Now what? Gotta be more specific.
He is wretched. Repulsive. Abhorrent. Pedestrian.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
