Trans & Cis Woman Stop Seattle Traffic Over Deportation Center

August 4, 2015 Not1More, www.notonemoredeportation.com , , ,
By Not1More - “Trans and/or Women’s Action Camp (TWAC)” in solidarity with NWDC Resistance and the Not1More movement to end detentions and deportations, at this moment is doing a civil disobedience action to bring attention to ICE presence in downtown Seattle.TWAC will be calling attention to ICE, located on 1000 Second Ave where they have a large presence and headquarters, and their local quota that guarantees a minimum of 800 beds to be filled at the immigration jail in Tacoma (aka Northwest Detention Center) operated by Geo group corporation. This quota is built into the contract between ICE Seattle and Geo and motivates the agency to round up immigrants in the area. The contract fuels the recent anti-immigrant politics in Congress that exposes the real intentions of Republicans and Democrats who both introduce and pass bills to scapegoat immigrants and exploit family tragedies.

Five human rights activists were arrested Saturday morning as they protested at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin. For 8 years, hundreds of protesters have called for the closure of one the largest immigrant detention centers in the country. This year, five activists were arrested trying to get their voices heard. It was a silent message that spoke volumes as five activists crossed a restricted line and were arrested in Lumpkin Saturday morning. One of those activists was Anton Flores. "Right now in the United States, there are 34,000 immigrants that are detained in detention centers around the United States. We want to see that number decrease and we want to see this facility shut down," said Anton Flores.

Immigrants’ Rights Groups Sue US Government

National immigrants' rights groups are suing the U.S. government over claims of lack of due process for "scores" of Central American women and children at the Artesia immigrant detention facility in New Mexico. The American Civil Liberties Union, American Immigration Council, National Immigration Law Center, and National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild announced their lawsuit in response to what they say is a failure of immigration laws. The national immigrants' rights groups claimed the federal government has denied fair deportation processes for mothers and children, notably in Artesia. American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project Director Cecillia Wang said the purpose of the lawsuit is to "challenge" the U.S. government's procedures on policing immigrants, saying they are trying to deport them "as soon as possible." Wang said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson's message to immigrants was "We will send you back" to their native countries, despite the ongoing difficulties happening at home. Wang said their immigrant clients have "repeatedly" been told by border patrol that they will be deported. An immigratio

Photos From Milwaukee Demo Against ICE

May 31, 2014 Nicolas Lampert, www.justseeds.org , ,
Yesterday Voces de la Frontera organized a demo in front of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in Milwaukee to protest the recent rash of arrests in Milwaukee - at least a dozen undocumented people taken from their homes and workplaces by MPD and ICE. The demo itself was heart wrenching: listening to teenagers speak of the pain of having a father arrested and the uncertainty that this brings. For it is a basic human rights violation to tear apart families and the Obama Administration is falling on the wrong side of history with their draconian responses to immigration issues. Like all Voces demos this one included multiple banners and posters. Josiah Werning designed the "Have You Seen My Dad" image the day before the demo. John Fleissner, Josiah, and the YES crew were at our studio space screening the images and they also took some of my "Imagine No Borders" posters for the demo. Additionally Paul Kjelland's banners of Obama and the Voces logo were on hand.
