More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.

While I'm loving the fact that Baltimore City is finally toughening up (at least it appears that way...) on slumlords who violate our laws and building codes. But...I have to ask -- what took you so long?
And why were property owners allowed to get away with this nonsense for so long?

I remember years ago watching an episode of Law & Order: SVU -- I think it was a multi-part episode, too. They were looking to break up a paedophile ring that was made up of powerful people -- judges, lawyers, celebrities, etc... (sound familiar?)

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

Not only do you get to walk away, you can continue to drive which begs the question of why we issue licenses at all.
Sitting with the fact that if you run over someone and they become trapped under your car until first responders can lift it off, and then the person who you hit dies, you get to walk away if you come up clean on a drug and alcohol test.

The longest-running Black-owned family newspaper and the third-oldest Black-owned business in the U.S today, The Baltimore Afro American's beginnings in the aftermath of Reconstruction—and its staying power—are almost impossible to wrap one’s head around.
Since 1892, ‘The Afro’ Has Confronted Injustice and Celebrated Black Culture
This year, the longest-running Black-owned family newspaper in the U.S. moves its offices and rich archives into West Baltimore’s historic Upton Mansion.
