*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Tall evergreen trees blocking the sun that is streaming regardless, into the cool shadows of the forest. Rich red ivy covered dirt surrounds the light of a sunbeam that works it's way through the obstacles in front of it & also shines brightly beyond the blocking trees illuminating the forest beyond.

Dug into this and her name seems to be Zhao Jing. She’s being held at Adelanto. A habeas lawsuit was filed at 11:05 AM Pacific today. On X, a user said Ms. Zhao had taught her son. As to why ICE arrested her, no idea. Most likely she’s a pending asylum applicant who got stuck in backlogs for years.

Translated from Chinese


Her name is Zhao Jing, and my heart broke when I heard her shout "Jing Zhao." Because I saw terror, helplessness, and despair on her face, which shattered me. I never imagined I'd see her in such a way. I still have her contact information; I have her email records. She was once my eldest son's early intervention teacher, with extremely fluent English close to native speaker level, and a senior staff member at that institution—a team-leading Supervisor. She's even from the same hometown as me. For someone in her situation, do you have any advice?郑存柱 @cunzhuzheng.2h

S Translated from Chinese
Recent Progress:
Last night, a friend of this lady reached out to me, asking for my help. Early this morning, I got in touch with Ms. Zhao by phone. After our conversation, I obtained her specific details. That friend had helped top up her phone credit. Since her father doesn't know how to answer calls from the immigration detention center, I also found a kind-hearted friend to go to her residence, visit her elderly father, and promptly check on his health condition.
I immediately drafted a writ of habeas corpus, handed it to the lawyer for review, and have now uploaded it to the federal court for official filing.
I hope she can redain her freedom soon.

ICE is set to open a new detention facility for kids at an airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, in order to speed deportations. The Trump regime is putting kids at risk for trafficking, a multi-billion-dollar crime industry. Who is profiting from trafficking migrant kids? bsky.app/profile/anat...

CNN is granted access inside an immigration court hearing where dozens of children facing deportation, some as young as three years old, appealed to stay in the United States. Many of them facing the judge without an attorney representing them.

The judge later asked a group of 15 minors without attorneys: “Is this your first time in immigration court?” They all answered, “Yes.” “Do any of you want voluntary departure?” the judge asked. No one raised their hand. Another child stretched her hands playfully toward the sky.

Trump & ICE have done this to 25,000 people & counting. The government is abducting our neighbors and disappearing them to places with abhorrent human rights records. Often, they’re stranded there without money or identity papers. These aren’t deportations - they’re renditions.

Disability advocacy is MORE than cost. It is reverence for personhood. Honest compassion. Dignity for those society would prefer to disregard to resist facing their own vulnerability. It is facing the true fragility of life and the corporate disregard for such! Demanding better thru accountability!
