Worth noting that people’s “gang affiliation” is often that they are in danger for trying to leave them.

Survivors of the Portland CBP shooting and their loved ones now face a smear campaign by the federal government. With information public, we can share we are in touch with their local relatives and many others impacted - folks are shocked and afraid. This terror and violence must end now.
Two people shot by federal immigration officers in Portland have “an association” with a Venezuelan criminal gang, Portland police said in a news conference Friday. But they did not provide any new details about the events leading up to Thursday’s shooting.

Two people shot by federal border patrol officers in Portland appear to have “an association” with a Venezuelan criminal gang, Portland police said in a news conference on Friday.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

This is wild- shelter beds (for adults) empty while families are waiting 6-9+ months for shelter space. Yet more family shelter, let alone trauma informed and secure family shelter, is not a meaningful part of the city's shelter bed spree 🤔

This generational trauma ICE is inflicting will reverberate for longer than we realize, in ways we can only begin to imagine.
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

While PDX warzone claims are absurd, the response does feel like it masks both profound scarcity & violence of poverty here (family shelter wait-list has 100s of fams waiting months to sleep inside) &the destruction of other communities through war&extraction to create relative US wealth and peace.
I'm going to sound like the biggest hater & loser in the world and I know we must do our political performance but the "look at my war ravaged Portland" photos especially from politicians are getting a little 😬 when we have crisis levels of people without housing including unknown numbers of kids

For families experiencing homelessness, having a safe and welcoming place to stay can be the first step to long-term stability. Creating more options for families is a priority of mine, and I’m glad we’re working quickly to fill a critical gap in East County for those who need shelter and support.
