“We were just trying to get him medication… But he was already gone.”
Last week, the internationally renowned Indigenous chef Sean Sherman told us that federal agents detained one of his employees on his way to work. By the next day, he said, his employee was out of Minnesota—and in Texas.

The majority of voters don't want ice terrorizing our neighborhoods so they can meet their quotas. The tax payers not only pay their salaries & lodging while they terrorize our cities, we pay to jail & transport immigrants out of U.S. yet we can't afford to pay our own utilities & groceries? WTF?

FLAG: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal ICE memo reviewed by NYT.
The change expands the ability of lower-level ICE agents to carry out sweeps rounding up people they suspect are undocumented immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.
