WE ARE CALLING FOR AN EMERGENCY RALLY. Just in the last couple of hours, over a HUNDRED people have been rounded up in ICE raids.

As a response to losing the Muslim ban, Trump and his inner circle of white nationalists are deploying massive ICE raids across cities to deport human beings from this land that belongs to us ALL.

With growing fear that Trump will deport millions of undocumented immigrants, particularly in urban areas that do not strictly enforce immigration laws, we're showing up to let them know: this will NOT happen in New York City under our watch. #NotOneMore. #Ni1Mas

Join us tomorrow to deport ICE and tell them we are #HeretoStay!

Co-Organizers: Resist Here, New York Communities for Change, Make the Road New York

In case you happen to be in the city and want to do something constructive

1. ICE raids - where the heck are these happening? Is this the Cali stuff?

Immigrant advocate groups claim that more than 100 people had been taken into custody by federal immigration officials in Southern California Thursday, indicating a “coordinated sweep” in arrests and heightening fears that Donald Trump’s promise to crackdown on deportations had begun to take effect.

According to Salas, the “raids” were taking place in Van Nuys, San Bernardino, Downey, Santa Paula and Oxnard. Immigration attorneys went to the downtown Los Angeles detention and removal facility Thursday afternoon and saw five white vans and one bus filled with people leave the premises. When an attorney asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement for information about clients who were detained, an ICE officer said more information was needed to identify the individuals, because more than 100 people were currently detained in the facility, Salas said. Usually only one or two people are detained in the center on a given day, Salas added.
