his family said that they purposefully assign judges from texas so that detainees lose their cases.

This pic is old and from 26 Federal Plaza in NYC! Still a powerful photo, just clarifying that it’s not from Chicago and it wasn’t snapped this week!

This was an extremely difficult piece to write, with more re-writes than I think I’ve ever forced myself to do.

I was able to speak to about a dozen family members and visit one detainee within Adelanto ICE Processing Center. Please give it a peak.

No he’s not, he’s TSA.

none of them are with ICE! there’s a core group of us that have been showing up to 26 federal plaza since may. we’re all mostly independent.

Neither are from an elementary school. One is my footage and the other reddit is not mine but is NOT from an elementary school. It’s from 26 federal plaza. I don’t know whose video it is but it’s from this specific day and detention on Sep 25th. www.instagram.com/reel/DPCa9gS...

This clip on reddit is incorrect. This is not from an elementary school, it’s from 26 Federal Plaza from a month or so ago. I don’t know the exact date, I wasn’t there that day but my colleagues were there and got footage from it.
