200 people braved extreme cold to stand against ICE in my small city today. Stop the war on immigrants & helpers who support them!

Today, I’m sharing my micro story about ICE agents arresting a mother and child. It was originally published in "The Ocotillo Review" in Austin in 2021. Sadly, it is still relevant today.

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year.
That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.
