This case should be a wake up call. Our client has been disappeared and locked up solely based on his tattoos. It is naive to think this kind of incarceration with no chance to refute the charges against you will be limited to asylum seekers. If this goes unchallenged, who could be next?

Ironically, this has been the greatest teambuilding exercise of my career, forging bonds in a way that no ropes course has ever managed. I suddenly have the personal cellphone numbers of all of my colleagues, and have been reached out to by colleagues I’ve never met to make sure I am downloading my earnings statements in the event I’m fired or our (now compromised) computer systems go down. Colleagues have been sharing tips about how to maximize our benefits that we might be losing only two months into the year. We’re making plans to care for one another’s families if we lose access to medical care and need life-saving prescriptions. Every increasingly desperate memo and email is driving us to form community, join our unions, and get to better know our co-workers. I had to turn off notifications for Signal, the secure communication app, because my group texts from co-workers ping multiple times per hour.
