Corey Ruiz was shot three times, point blank, when he was already subdued by 3 different cops. He was already on the ground. They already had him detained. He was already outnumbered. This was a killing just to kill. Justice for Corey Ruiz. May he rest in peace. #CoreyRuiz #ACAB #MadisonWI

A fourth man has died at the hands of ICE within 8 days. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva had a medical emergency on an ICE transport bus and died. His sister reports that ICE would not give him the meds he needed. No one is safe when ICE is present - whether on the streets or in a concentration camp.

11 people. 16 months. All murdered by ICE. Since Trump's second term began, at least nine people have been shot or run over during ICE “operations.” Not one agent has been criminally charged. In case after case, video footage has contradicted the government's story. Here are their stories.

Witnesses to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s killing dispute DHS’s claim that his van rammed an ICE vehicle. They say the ICE agent opened fire immediately after exiting his vehicle and that Araujo never steered toward him. Surveillance footage prior to the killing shows ICE ramming Araujo’s van.

The agency said a Mexican immigrant driving a van tried to ram agents before they shot him dead. A lawyer for three passengers said that was untrue.

An image of Ice detainees in a cell, coughing from gas in the air.

Hundreds of Ice detainees are hunger striking to protest inhumane conditions: moldy, wormy food, extreme medical neglect, force labor, and abuse.

Ice and police are retaliating by pepper spraying entire rooms of detainees, beating them, and disappearing them to other facilities without notifying family.

71% of detainees have no criminal record. Over half don't even have pending charges. They are being told, "you don't have rights here."

We need your help to fight back.

THE HISTORY OF CONCENTRATION
CAMPS IN AMERICA
DELANEY HALL
This week, immigrants detained at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ went on a hunger and labor strike.
Federal agents fired pepper balls at protesters outside that were supporting those on strike.
The governor of New Jersey was denied entry.
The government denied any of it was happening.
This isn't the first time America has had concentration camps. In fact, we have a long history of them. Follow along with us.WHAT IS A
CONCENTRATION CAMP?
• A concentration camp is a facility where people are held without charge, without trial, in degrading conditions, based on their identity or origin, not because of anything they've done.
• The term was coined during the Second Boer War (1899-1902) to describe British detention camps in South Africa.
• In 2019, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the term to describe border detention camps.
• Calling something a "detention center" or a
"processing facility" instead of what it is - a concentration camp - is a political choice.1838: THE TRAIL OF TEARS
Fort Cass
Original 1838 map drawn by Lt. Henry Prince, modified with location of Fort Cass and Cherokee camps shown in red.
• Following the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the U.S. Army forced 17,000 Cherokee, along with members of the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, & Seminole nations into military encampments.
• They were held in overcrowded stockades through a summer of disease & starvation before being marched west. This event in history would be named the Trail of Tears.
• These areas were called "reservations." Native people were not allowed to leave.
• Fact: Nazi Germany studied U.S. reservation policy when designing its own camp system.1882-1940: CHINESE IMMIGRANTS WERE CAGED AT PORTS OF ENTRY
• The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first
U.S. law to ban an entire nationality from entering the country.
• In 1910, the U.S. opened Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco Bay. Over the next 30 years, roughly 100,000 Chinese immigrants were detained there, held for weeks, months, years.
• Chinese people held there carved poems of grief into the barrack walls. Some of those carvings are still there.
1942: 120,000 Japanese were put in camps.
