Ryan Schwank — an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned this month — testified that the agency’s training program “is now deficient, defective, and broken.”

“Without reform, ICE will graduate thousands of new officers who do not know their constitutional duty, do not know the limits of their authority, and do not have the training to recognize an unlawful order,” he said.

Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 So proud of our WISD children who have not been so jaded by world that they have lost their humanity, heart, and vision for a better world.

Matthew 18:2

Hundreds of students at Waco and University high schools walked out of their last-period class to demonstrate against federal immigration actions.

Heads up!
To all my Friends with Ring Cameras, Ring has partnered with Ice to access your Ring cameras by default.
To make it harder for ice to access your footage you need to go to your Control Center, then Neighbors, and disable that setting.
With this setting off, they can still access footage with a warrant, but won’t be able to freely access it without.

This change reverses previous guidance and raises concerns about constitutional protections against illegal searches.

Reposted WACO: SAY IT LOUD AND SAY IT CLEAR, ICE YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!

As the people of Los Angeles unite to defend their immigrant neighbors against ICE terror and Trump's deportation agenda, we are calling upon the people of Waco and Central Texas to stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors right here at home. Join us at Indian Spring Park on Tuesday evening to stand together and support our communities—from LA to Waco, we will defend our families and friends!

🕡 7pm
📅 Tuesday, June 10th
📍Indian Spring Park
🪧 Bring your signs and flags.

Donations of water, sports drinks, granola bars, small snacks, white posters, and markers will be gladly accepted prior to and during the rally. Any supplies not used will be donated to those in need in our community.

Message us to volunteer to help or endorse this action.

See you Tuesday!

With the rise in anti-immigrant rhetoric, misinformation, and propaganda being churned through media and the internet, we're grateful to partner with the North East Riverside Neighborhood Association to get the truth out to our community members about immigration.

As Gov Abbott and the TX Senate continue to pass unconstitutional, hateful policies this month, it's important that we all are educated and make informed voting decisions and speak up.

We must link arms and work to expose and dismantle the systems that are squeezing every bit of life out of our communities, most often for profit. These systems are rooted in elitism, white supremacy culture, and anti-Blackness.

Our struggles are unique but intertwined. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏼

It is necessary to unite in order to co-create a society (and world) where there is equity, peace, justice, and where our "government" isn't owned and operated by the wealthiest few families /individuals. We are stronger as One.

✨Looking forward to seeing you there! Please feel free to submit your questions ahead of time via DM or email [email protected]

**This session is specifically for those who are not immigrants, to clear up myths about the current border situation, why people are seeking asylum or refugee status (and what those two mean), what is a visa or green card and why doesn't every non-citizen have one, and why do people overstay visas, what is causing /fueling border crossing, what we can do to help, etc.

We will let you know about sessions in the near future regarding Texas' SB4, once we know more about how the Supreme Court rules on it next week.
