As I report here for @motherjones.com, a local lawmaker in LA says ICE showed up to a confidential domestic violence shelter. That’s just one of the many impacts they’ve had on shelters & survivors this past week ⬇️
"On Wednesday, LA city councilor Hugo Soto-Martinez said in a video posted to Instagram that ICE had shown up at a confidential domestic violence shelter, apparently in search of one person who was not present." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters
These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…

The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…
