Marcelo Gomes should’ve been at Milford High’s graduation—not sitting in an ICE detention center.
This isn’t public safety. It’s cruelty. It’s about instilling fear into our communities.
I join the Milford community in demanding the Trump admin and ICE free Marcelo.

I mean, it is one thing for trust fund kids to start their careers at the top of high profile multimillion dollar high nonprofits and do basically nothing else for thirty years. It's another thing to think this earns respect as lived experience.The man has never had to fight for a thing in his life
I was proud to stand up for our city in DC & able to do so effectively bc of the hardworking team who made the trip. Don’t have a private jet to transport everyone, but that also means there are no Qs about whether my family & I are profiting off Trump’s mass deportation policies.
