"I am moved that so many people not under direct threat have chosen solidarity with those who are under threat, or arrest, or imprisoned for being an immigrant or looking like one to racist enforcement squads, or who are already deported."
~ Rebecca Solnit

"Immigrants, including families with small children, have been held in a cramped office basement for days without enough food and water after being detained by authorities in raids in Los Angeles, lawyers have said.
"One family with three children was kept in a Los Angeles-area administrative building for 48 hours, said lawyers from the Immigrant Defenders Law Center (ImmDef)."
~ Clea Skopeliti
"The children, the youngest of whom is three, were given just a bag of chips, a box of animal crackers and a mini carton of milk in a day. Agents told the family of five they did not have any water to give them during their first day in detention, and gave them just one bottle to share on the second day."
"In another wrongful deportation case, the Trump administration claimed a 'perfect storm of errors' led it to deport Jordin Melgar-Salmeron to El Salvador on May 7 despite an order from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals barring his removal. In the new filing this week, the administration also changed what it had previously told the appeals court about how the wrongful deportation happened."

"All across America, people who have never before participated in a demonstration are feeling compelled to show their solidarity — with immigrants who are being targeted by Trump, with people who are determined to preserve due process and the rule of law, with Americans who don’t want to live in a dictatorship….
Such solidarity is to be celebrated. It is the foundation of the common good."
~ Robert Reich
"Let’s be honest, when it comes to human beings entering this country, Republicans, Evangelicals, and MAGAs don’t give a damn about documentation. It’s all about pigmentation."
