The passing of Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano marks the 47th death in ICE custody during the Trump administration's second term.

That's over 3 human lives taken every month.

2026 is already on track to be the deadliest year in detention ever.

On average just this year alone, a person dies in detention ​**every 6 days.**

Drawing attention to the horrifyingly cruel conditions in detention centers is one critical step in the larger journey. We must fight to end immigration detention and abolish this deadly enforcement system that upends lives and inflicts traumatic pain - at least, for those that make it out alive.

Our thoughts are with the families still awaiting their fate in custody and with those who mourn the loss of their loved ones.

We must find our humanity again.

Critics have condemned the huge number of Latino immigration officers, resorting to language about self-hatred and betrayal of community—but many of the officers “believe in the enforcement of immigration laws and that they are protecting, not antagonizing, their communities,” Geraldo L. Cadava argues. https://theatln.tc/u0ypVuVT

“Over the past half century, Latinos went from making up a negligible fraction of Border Patrol agents to constituting half of the entire force. Latinos have been central to the work done by the Border Patrol for decades,” Cadava writes. “Border Patrol recruitment videos feature Latinos and target them with stories about the excitement of the job, the drugs they would intercept, the criminals they would arrest, the discipline and sense of mission they would acquire at training camp.”

“The path that Latinos take to a career in law enforcement frequently begins at universities in the Southwest border region,” Cadava continues. Texas A&M International University’s criminal-justice program has 705 undergraduate students, almost all of whom are Latino. The program’s co-directors told Cadava of the students, “Growing up on the border, they see up close that the work—especially at the federal level—is complex and human, involving trade, public safety, and immigration enforcement all at once. Many see these careers as a way to serve, to build stability for their families, and to bring their bilingual skills, judgment, and sense of responsibility into roles where they believe their presence truly matters.”

“Whether many young Latinos who join the Border Patrol believe that they’re saving their community, not betraying it, of course doesn’t mean that other Latinos accept their logic,” Cadava writes.

A press conference will be held to announce the May 1st Rally and March in Fresno to reflect on the coalition’s twenty-year legacy of resistance and hope.

Press Conference Details
What: Press Conference to Announcing 1st March & Rally in Fresno.
When: Friday, April 10, 2026 | 12:00 Noon
Where: Fresno City Hall 2600 Fresno Street, Fresno, CA
Why:
The Fresno May 1st Coalition was born out of the labor movement and the historic struggle for workers’ rights, fair wages, and humane working conditions. On April 10, 2006, Fresno experienced one of the largest mobilizations in its history, as thousands of immigrants and allies took to the streets to oppose the Sensenbrenner Bill (H.R. 4437), legislation that sought to criminalize undocumented immigrants and those who supported them.
