As families continue to press for answers, the Disappeared In America campaign said that immigrant community members who’ve lost their lives while in ICE custody will be remembered during #DíaDeLosMuertos vigils set to take place this weekend.
The Trump admin has been “deadlier for ICE detainees than COVID-19 pandemic.”

“The families of some of the deceased have denounced the fact that the victims had no prior condition that would have predicted a tragic end.”
🕯️ This #DíaDeLosMuertos, we remember those who should still be with us.

At least 22 people have died in ICE custody this year, the deadliest year in 20 years. As families grieve and call for answers, communities across the country are building ofrendas to honor them.

Day of the Dead vigils honor immigrants who’ve died in ICE custody.

“I didn’t know him, but he could have been my brother, he could have been a neighbor, he could have been my family,” said one vigil attendee in Chicago:

This is exactly the kind of messaging that Democrats need to be sending. Not sending letters, not candlelight vigils and not wagging fingers. Democrat party is dead. It needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Home Depot has failed to condemn ICE raids on its properties. Vigils will soon take place to remember the people who've been abducted and killed at Home Depot:

These vigils also warn customers that Home Depot has been silent about these injustices.

The shooting killed 11 worshippers, including a 97-year-old and two brothers who were inseparable. The attack devastated the Squirrel Hill community, a significant center of American Judaism. In the aftermath, the community held vigils and organized volunteer projects to honor the victims. /3

Pope Leo XIV urged American Catholics to get louder — and bolder — about the treatment of migrants. This week, they did.

Vigils sprang up nationwide as thousands of laypeople, nuns, and clergy protested ICE in unison.

Young people: it was the experience of coming of age in a time when you feared you could be next to die. When you dreaded opening the gay newspaper to see who was lost in the past fortnight. Seeing friends you danced with in the obituaries. Attending candlelight vigils and memorial quilt unveilings.

That’s part of what makes the memorials and ceremonies and vigils kinda rough for me. I shouldn’t have to be in the company of strangers who make me feel on edge when I’m trying to grieve and remember my sister. Especially in times like these where I feel unsafe just existing.

Encircle ICE.
They can leave the circle but their victims stay with the people
NO VIOLENCE!
One circle and then another and another if necessary.
This is a police tactic that we need to be using against them. There are more of us than there are them.
Use our numbers against them!

"The things I see happening at Broadview are so against what I believe Christianity is,” said Persch, who at 91 now mostly joins the prayer vigils over Zoom.
Religious leaders say the practices inside and outside the Broadview ICE facility violate liberties and contradict the administration’s claim to the U.S. as a Christian nation.
“The things I see happening at Broadview are so against what I believe Christianity is,” said Sister JoAnn Persch, 91.
Chicago area religious leaders have been hit with tear gas and pepper balls outside the Broadview ICE facility. They also say immigrants are being denied pastoral care inside the facility. trib.al/rGZJ4yq
