Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Medical deportation is the removal of an uninsured immigrant patient from the U.S. by a hospital without the consent of the patient or their family. If you or someone you know is at risk, call this hotline. Learn more about medical deportation here: buff.ly/7KoYvbz

Outside the first of two Targets we occupied today, because Target is complicit with ICE.

Last week ICE altered contracts with the leading private prison companies that run its detention centers, wiping away all transgender protections, including safety measures to prevent against rape. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the story.
