Community organizer and Cosecha leader Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago was detained by Border Patrol this morning in El Paso, TX.

🚨*ALERTA*🚨
DHS/ICE/HSI arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside of Delaney Hall while he tried to enter the facility. Both @RepBonnie and @RepLaMonica were assaulted by the officers. Activists, press, and community members were shoved to the ground violently.

We're in New Brunswick with @CentralNJDSA and @CosechaMovement for the Multiracial Democracy Conference. Starting soon!
Shut down all detention centers, free them all!
🚙💨 Help Cosecha NJ get to ATL! As CoreCivic fights to keep Elizabeth Detention Center open, and GeoGroup tries to reopen Delaney Hall in Newark, it is vital that we connect with other organizers working to shut down ICE detention centers!

It's not just that POTUS used the racist word "illegal", is that he then endorsed the right wing anti-immigrant agenda of a fundamentalist party while finding a migrant guilty of a crime without his day in court & also assuring these racists he will deport people faster.

BREAKING: Thousands of Jews and allies are taking over the AIPAC HQ in NYC during the workday. With over 30,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, we demand our electeds stop answering to a far-Right group and start listening to their constituents. #DumpAIPAC now!

1. Fuck @CoreCivic
2. Fuck student loan servicers
3. Thank God for Dem AG’s!
Should student loan servicers be allowed to engage in “predatory and deceptive practices” if they contract with the federal government? (Some financial institutions have already been making this argument.)

Learn more about the fight to shut down the last privately run ICE detention center in New Jersey—and Biden’s attempts to force the state to keep it open, in violation of NJ law: xitter.cf/cosechamovement/status…
In 2021, @JoeBiden committed to ending the use of private prisons. “I’m working on it man,” he said. “Give me another five days.”
Biden said that there should be “no private prisons, period.”

CoreCivic is currently working with ICE to renew their contract for EDC. Join the campaign to #shutdownEDC at bit.ly/shutdownedctoolkit

The AGs note that, if CoreCivic is successful, it will provide a template for any private company that contracts with the federal government to ignore state law. The circuit court should avoid this outcome and overturn Kirsch’s ruling, allowing NJ to #shutdownEDC

The Biden administration and CoreCivic argued that the federal government has an interest in forcing NJ to allow EDC to remain open.
Yet when @NJGov passed a bill to ban private immigration detention contracts, @JoeBiden joined @CoreCivic’s lawsuit in an attempt to force NJ to keep these privately run immigration detention facilities open.

If, contrary to current legal precedent, states were unable to impose any regulations on private contractors that might indirectly inconvenience the federal government, the results would be catastrophic.
Judge Kirsch argued that banning private companies from detaining immigrants in NJ would make it difficult for ICE’s deportation regime to operate.
But states are allowed to regulate private companies, even if the federal government is indirectly inconvenienced as a result.
