ICE, an agency with a long record of rights violations, torture, & abuse, now has the full support & power of the Trump admin.

Within days of Trump’s win, ICE is poised to expand the sprawling surveillance apparatus left by the Biden admin to unprecedented levels, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.

I co-authored the letter with @garibaldovaldez.bsky.social and Oliver Merino.

It's alarming to see the Democratic establishment push for compromises that align with Trump’s nativist, anti-immigrant agenda, with no forceful pushback from national orgs #immigration #DACA #LakenRiley
The Democratic establishment is already capitulating to Trump’s nativist, anti-immigrant agenda, leaving the grassroots immigrant-led organizations to fend for themselves to protect and advocate for immigrants. @emiliovicente.bsky.social

Democrats scapegoating immigrant rights advocates, letter says
The party’s rightward shift is solidified, as some Democrats support the Laken Riley Act, which makes it easier to deport people accused of a crime

MEMO to Interested Parties:

With a few minor changes, I fixed that awful Atlantic oped by Frank Sharry and Cecilia Muñoz which is being cited by Democrats for their current position on the Laken Riley Act.
