Seeing this happen in Immokalee is not only painful, it is devastating for the children of the community. Students have been taken out of school to join their deported mothers/fathers in a lands foreign to them. TPU knows the greatness each one of those students carries within themselves and to watch as their life is uprooted due to such egregious violations of the law is gut-wrenching. To stay silent today dishonors everything our people have fought for. We are all humans and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. To any child or family currently looking for any assistance, feel free to send a message. We will do our best to provide resources and share any connections we may have.

Yesterday, local artists created this memorial piece to honor the 35 families torn apart by Florida Highway Patrol and Department of Homeland Security agencies, including ICE. It has a chain link filled silhouette a mother embracing her young child, who she was separated from. It was placed on Camp Keis Road, outside of Ave Maria, where the bus was stopped.

Today it was removed by someone.

Ayer, artistas locales crearon esta obra conmemorativa en honor a las 35 familias separadas por la Patrulla de Carreteras de Florida y agencias del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, incluyendo ICE. Representa la silueta de una madre abrazando a su hijo pequeño, del que fue separada, dentro de una malla metálica. Estaba colocada en Camp Keis Road, frente a Ave Maria, donde el autobús fue parado.

Hoy alguien se lo llevó.

Atis lokal yo te kreye travay atistik komemoratif sa a an onore 35 fanmi yo ke ajans Patwouy Otowout Florid ak Depatman Sekirite Entèn yo te separe, tankou ICE. Li montre silwèt yon manman k ap anbrase pitit li a, ke yo te separe avè l, nan yon may metal. Li te sitiye sou Camp Keis Road, anfas Ave Maria, kote bis la te kanpe.

Yon moun te retire li jodi a.

Unidos Immokalee is a great community based organization. Here is a little more about them!

Who is UNIDOS? Anyone who takes care of others in our community.

¿Quiénes somos en Unidos? Cualquier persona que cuida de los demás en nuestra comunidad.

Ki moun ki UNIDOS? Nenpòt moun ki pran swen lòt moun nan kominote nou an.

Unidos began in 2020 when people from the community came together to support our farmworker community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we’ve supported people in Immokalee with Know Your Rights Info, hurricane relief, and recently supported our families that have been separated due to unfair immigration enforcement. We have moderators that support our social media efforts, answer your messages, and help provide the most rapid response to ICE sightings. Likeminded volunteers are welcome to volunteer with us and provide information that will help our community. Everyone who is involved is a volunteer and we appreciate them all!

Unidos comenzó en 2020 cuando la comunidad se unió para apoyar a los trabajadores agrícolas durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Desde entonces, hemos apoyado a la gente de Immokalee con información sobre sus derechos, ayuda tras el huracán y, recientemente, hemos apoyado a las familias que han sido separadas debido a la injusta aplicación de la ley de inmigración. Contamos con moderadores que apoyan nuestras iniciativas en redes sociales, responden a tus mensajes y ayudan a confirmar actividades de ICE. Personas con pensamientos similares son bienvenidos a ser voluntarios y a compartir información que ayude a nuestra comunidad. ¡Todos los que participan son voluntarios y los apreciamos!

Unidos te kòmanse an 2020 lè kominote a te reyini pou sipòte travayè agrikòl yo pandan pandemi COVID-19 la. Depi lè sa a, nou te sipòte moun Immokalee yo ak enfòmasyon sou dwa yo, sekou pou siklòn yo, epi, tou dènyèman, nou te sipòte fanmi ki te separe akòz aplikasyon imigrasyon enjis. Nou gen moderatè ki sipòte inisyativ medya sosyal nou yo, ki reponn a mesaj nou yo, epi ki ede bay repons ki pi rapid pou obsèvasyon ICE yo. Nenpòt moun ka vin volontè epi pataje enfòmasyon ki pral ede kominote nou an. Tout moun ki patisipe se yon volontè, epi nou apresye yo!
