If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

They’re investigating everyone except the murderer.
The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.
The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

The political ground is shifting on ICE. Your own Dem rep or senator may not have caught up yet. Now - before the 1/30 funding deadline - is the time to push.

Riffing on this a bit, the biggest most fundamental failing of the Democrat establishment is that they agree with Republicans on the narrative framing of issues. They agree that illegal immigration is destroying the country, that trans women are men, etc. They just think we should be nicer.
Somebody the other day arguing that [paraphrased] "it's important to agree with the right wing that certain of their concerns are valid, because we're losing the rhetorical battle" —no, if we're losing, it's because so-called friends keep validating fascist concerns. "We" who, motherfucker?
