North Carolina, American Citizen from Orange County #NC arrested by ICE, using excessive force, while he was sleeping in his company truck awaiting his boss. No rights were afforded him and he required medical attention due to their brutality. #NCpol This could be your son, brother, friend, neighbor
An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.
Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Judge issues major victory for due process in class action lawsuit, rules that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can no longer detain immigrants without offering them a bond hearing. Everyone gets a bond hearing now.

Private school tuition for the wealthy or healthcare for the most vulnerable North Carolinians? How would you spend $190 million? NC Republicans think it’s more important to overfund a slush fund for vouchers than make sure people can see a doctor. It’s all about priorities. 😣

Take a training, volunteer and donate if you can so we can all keep protecting our neighbors.
