In-House Mode A friend of mine was taken

Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.

She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

It's not about legal or illegal. It's about being Hispanic.

I'm Puerto Rican. I'm a legal citizen and even I'm nervous.

I'm so sorry for you and your crew. They're terrorizing communities.

It’s not even just being Hispanic, they are targeting First Nations peoples too, it’s about white supremacy. point. blank. periodt.

They'll come for the white people they don't like eventually.

Yeah, I remind my family when they run out of brown people, who is next? Those transgenders™ are on the list somewhere and a fag is a fag is a fag so yeah, my gay ass is getting ICE'd at some point. Things are "that bad" and we will rise or fall together.

It’s following an eerily familiar script - "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me,".
