TODAY: Minnesota activists are joining together for a historic day of action with no work, no school, and no shopping.
They’re also asking allies across the nation to hold solidarity actions to keep the focus on ICE’s ongoing brutality and the urgency to get ICE Out For Good.

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.

They want you to think that there is nothing in the past but shame so that people flinch away from examining history.
If you examine history, you will find good people. At every time in history, you will find them.
Maybe not enough, but they were there. You can be this generation's good people.
