If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
