We are Jews, immigrants & allies taking direct action to stop violence and persecution against immigrants. We fight to end deportation, detention, and ICE.
HAPPENING NOW: We’re in DC outside the National Sheriffs’ Association’s conference, calling for an end to Police-ICE Terror.
The sheriffs inside actively & eagerly terrorize immigrant communities across the U.S.
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what some of them have to say:
Anne Frank did not die from gas chambers. She died from typhus, contracted in the overcrowded Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
The denial of flu vaccines will kill immigrants, especially the most vulnerable- children, the elderly, the immunocompromised.
Anne Frank didn’t die in a gas chamber. Anne Frank died because she caught an infectious disease in a concentration camp.
Unless people are freed from immigrant detention IMMEDIATELY, thousands upon thousands of our neighbors will die horrific deaths. We have to stop it.
hey I wonder as the weeks go by and US institutions struggle to control this outbreak, whether the large network of migrant detention centres will be getting the resources they need to ensure the safety of the men, women & children held there
I'm guessing no, they will not
We are also American Jews.
We are profoundly outraged by the existence of concentration camps.
We are profoundly outraged by the entire detention and deportation machine.
We are profoundly outraged by Stephen Miller.

BREAKING: Here is HD video of an ICE guard driving his truck into us as we sat peacefully blocking the Wyatt Detention Center.
We’re putting our bodies on the line because we see the camps and the roundups. We’ve learned from our ancestors: NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE.
Hey. I'm Ben, I write a lot of Never Again's tweets, and I never put my name on them.
Today is different. I'm crying, and as a human being I need everyone to know what ICE started doing yesterday, so we can stop them.
ICE calls it 'binary choice'. Really, it's Sophie's Choice.

For two weeks, ICE has sprayed this chemical 100 times a day at the Adelanto Detention Center outside Los Angeles.
People inside are bleeding, their eyes are burning, and they can't get away for even a minute.
They're being poisoned.
We've already had one ICE agent reach out to us and ask for help quitting their job. We are calling for a mass exodus & atonement as we approach Yom Kippur.
Our help is free and it is confidential. QUIT YOUR JOBS, stand with us.
When we say NEVER AGAIN, we mean it. And when we chant QUIT YOUR JOB, we'll actually help you do it.
Today we're showing up at the Atlanta ICE field office to encourage employees inside to quit their jobs. And we're launching a website to help them do it.
Btw, in arguing for his amendment that stalled coronavirus legislation, Paul suggested that to be a "legitimate person" you need a SS#. He described undocumented immigrants who don't have them as "non-people."
Jews have spent thousands of years wandering, looking for safety and refuge and so often finding none. Trump is just the latest in a long line of tyrants who would have thrown our people out, or worse.
We owe it to our ancestors to be loudly and proudly

ICE is giving mothers this 'binary choice':
Option 1: You and your child stay locked in ICE detention indefinitely. Hope & pray that you both survive COVID.
Option 2: Save your child's life by giving them up. You stay locked up, but ICE send your kid to live with someone else.

The media isn’t talking about it, but Joe Biden is on track to deport 330,000 people this year.
That’s 100,000 MORE THAN TRUMP deported his first year in office.
ICE works for Biden, he could literally stop each of these deportations if he wanted. He just chooses not to.

p.s. QAnon is a cult, and if they actually cared about “saving the children” they would be rushing ICE camps to rescue kids who *actually exist* instead of looking for 'mole children' in the basements of pizza restaurants ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The 1st sounds we heard before we could see the children held at Ursula were haunting cries of babies & toddlers. I spoke to a dad of a sick 6-month-old girl. She was flushed, listless, her little fists clung tightly to his shirt. Flu, meningitis, typhus, lice & more.

It's simple, we're just not going to stop until the camps are closed and ICE is abolished, and neither should you!
The man in the center is an ICE guard. Every day he goes to work, where he denies our immigrant neighbors their human rights.
He's just doing what the system tells him to do. He’s just following orders.
We know where that leads. That’s why we sound the alarm:

There are still families in ICE camps. Mostly mothers locked up with their children.
It's crowded. It's dirty. It's dangerous.
These mothers are terrified they and their children are going to get sick and die.
ICE could just set them free. Here's what they're doing instead.
Dozens of doctors from

are marching in San Diego, bringing flu vaccines to give to the immigrants CBP has locked up.
When you cram exhausted, traumatized people together and deny them vaccines, some of them will get sick and die. These deaths are CBP’s choice.
After a year of student organizing—including a Never Again march this past summer—Johns Hopkins University has announced it is ending its contracts with ICE. Holding our institutions accountable works.

Just. Following. Orders.
BREAKING: We're back at the house of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and we brought receipts.
In these 115 boxes are Trump's 115 ICE contracts, which the Biden administration promised to cancel. Instead Mayorkas has kept them in place, turning local police into extensions of ICE.
Last week, Carlos became the first person to die in ICE detention from COVID. He lived in the U.S. for 40 years; he fled here at age 18 after his brother was murdered in a civil war that the U.S. helped start.

For real, the fact that there's a government agency whose priority right now is GOING AROUND IN MASKS TO ROUND UP OUR NEIGHBORS is completely fucked. We can all see that, right?
Here’s what we told

“We will come on Laura Ingraham’s show if she apologizes for the antisemitism, xenophobia, racism, Islamophobia, and white nationalism that she promotes, and which has gotten our people killed. Deal?”
A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police. Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.
There are thousands of people like Carlos in ICE detention right now, praying they don't get sick. Praying they don't die an excruciating, preventable, lonely death.
Don't let this happen in your state. Tell your Governor to make it stop.
Please.

This is the line of people that an ICE Detention Center guard tried to drive through with his truck. We are still trying to figure out what all the injuries are😢And the rest of us are trying to get the pepper spray out of our eyes.
For thousands of years, Jews have placed menorahs in our windows as a public declaration of who we are & what we believe.
Last night we took our menorahs into the streets to declare: the U.S. immigration system is a crime against humanity, and we believe ICE will be shut down.

Health update: 5 people hospitalized, 3 for severe pepper spray exposure, 2 after being hit by the truck. Thankful the injuries were not life-threatening.
We're mindful that immigrants locked up by ICE & CBP are often injured, and usually denied medical care.
These are the people who carried out pogroms against our ancestors, who enjoyed attacking us on Kristallnacht. We were raised to see the signs of a rising tide of violent dehumanizing racism, and all the signs are here.
