Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Former DOJ lawyer Erez Reuveni was ordered to tell a judge that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 gang member and terrorist. "That is not factually correct." Reuveni: "They did everything to him in violation of his due process rights. What's to stop them if they decide they don't like you anymore?"

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

In light of the DC raids we want to reshare our ICE watch 101 graphics. Reminder to verify, document, and then report to our hotline.
ICE WATCH 101: DC
BYSTANDER GUIDE

1. VERIFY THAT IT IS ICE
• It is important that you try & verify that it's ICE.
DC is uniquely overpoliced - apart from MPD, we have 30+ federal law enforcement agencies in the District. It can be difficult to tell them apart.
• Look at their badges, arm patches, vests/ jackets, and cars. ICE vehicles can be marked as ICE or DHS.

2. DOCUMENT BUT DO NOT ENGAGE
• Record the date, time, and location of the incident.
Be as specitic as possible!
• Take pictures and video. Try to capture pictures of the officers and their vehicles. Do NOT post the photos or video on social media.
• Other relevant info to document: How many agents are there? What are they doing?
• Do NOT engage. You could end up making things worse for the person being targeted.

3. CALL OUR HOTLINE: 202-335-1183

A post stating people are not understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, if fewer dollar circulating. The cascade effect is just mind-boggling.
