I’d like to draw attention to a couple of stories where immigrants were detained by ICE–a mother and her 3 children in New York and a couple who owned a kebab shop in New Jersey–but in both cases, they were released after outrage from their respective communities. The superintendent of the children’s school was “leading efforts to ensure the family’s release” in the NY case, and Haddon Township residents donated over $300,000 to the NJ couple’s GoFundMe for their legal fees.
This is why it matters for communities to support its members and speak out against injustice. This administration will not do everything it wants as long as people keep fighting back.
