How much money and time would your campaign have saved if you didn't have to put resources into putting signs in the median? I imagine it's not zero

There is also universal agreement that medical care in the facility is terrible, and that people were not being provided access to care they needed.

This excerpt expresses a common theme; people who asked for help were largely ignored or given little treatment.

At a time when immigrants are under attack, it'd be very sad to imagine the world's greatest city of immigrants with a mayor who can't stand up against gross xenophobia like what she said

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.
