She's a nurse & grandmother who had been here for 30 years
She had a work permit
She was taken when she went to her annual ICE check-in
She was shipped to Ghana, where she was dragged on the floor.
She was then shipped to Sierra Leone, from which she had fled, and *despite a court order.*

Ms. Kuyateh was one of 19 third-country nationals sent to Ghana on Nov. 6. At least 61 TCNs have been removed there since September.
Others report similar treatment. Nigerians were forced to cross into Togo w/o documents, rendering them essentially stateless

Trump is obstructing congressional oversight to hide his cruelty.
Public pressure is our power. I’m urging Oregonians to document what they see as ICE activity increases in our communities. Reach out to the PIRC hotline (1-888-622-1510) if you see ICE in your neighborhood.

It is critical that if you see ICE in your neighborhood, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and document what you see.
I cannot underscore how important this evidence is in the courts and in the court of public opinion. Stay loud. Stay safe.

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

There's one huge difference between the 2025 Portland protests & the ones in 2020. Today, the ~100 anti-fascist protesters at the ICE facility are sandwiched between the feds who have MAGA-friendly media embedded w/ them, and ~15 MAGA-friendly content creators/counter-protesters out in the crowd.

This has been a big local story for us. Years of effort on the case (prosecutors withheld evidence), winning a retrial, which was then abandoned by the state. And ICE waiting to imprison him immediately on his release.
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
