Once again, ICE shot and killed someone in broad daylight. This time, a loving father and husband, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This latest tragedy is a reminder of why we’ve been fighting for real reforms of DHS and an end to this administration’s cruel and dangerous immigration agenda.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

There are over a dozen Zipps in the Phoenix metro and crowds showed up to all of them. Shoutout to everyone who went out tonight. The groups doing rapid response trainings have had to waitlist folks because the meetings are so packed and the results of that definitely shows.

The man they took was rushed out the back employee entrance in zip-ties and put into an unmarked vehicle that was parked as close to the employee entrance as possible, and then quickly took off. Plates: CNT4051

But this is how Border Patrol in particular has behaved, continuously. They threaten and brutalize people at the slightest provocation. They troop around like an invading army, not a force that is supposed to protect us. When you see it, it’s so clear: they’re the conquerors, we’re the enemy.
