An excellent sign for more than farms! ⭐
We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

The legal standards for arresting or detaining someone are being ignored ⭐
ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here.

It’s mass racial profiling.
