This reenforces for me that friends of undocumented or at risk immigrants need to go places with them, especially to public places and to ICE check ins, accompany them, doing the work of witness and solidarity.

Watching the far right attack Mark Carney wife and daughters I hope gives Mark Carney a second thought about eliminating the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality. This is exactly why it is needed. This country is ridiculously toxic towards women. And your family has more protections than most.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.
He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."
They didn't show him a warrant.
They didn't give him paperwork.
And he's now suing.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Dudek misused his authority in an attempt to punish all citizens of Maine by terminating the Enumeration at Birth program, which automatically registers newborns and issues Social Security numbers.
This would have forced all Maine parents travel to a SS office to register newborns.

Because everyone above him was working to protect the confidentiality of SSA data, they were replaced and Dudek mat Acting SSA Administrator.
