For three decades now, I often wake up from a dead sleep, startled by a voice saying, “Mama.” There is no one there. No child by my bedside. Just a clear voice calling out for me.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”

ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.
