Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10 years old.

She’s now in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife and mother of 3 has been moved between detention facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada.

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape.

This is why we call them concentration camps.

There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Also worth noting her husband voted for Trump because he supported his mass deportation plans.

He didn’t think it would impact people “like them”. Only “others”.

This is why we fight for the rights of everyone.

We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.

#Trump White House tries to assuage industry worries over loss of migrant workers amid #ICE aggressive deportation campaign but no clear plan underway

« Undocumented immigrants account for 4% to 5% of the total US workforce and between 15% to 20% in industries like crop production, food processing, and construction, according to Goldman Sachs »

cnn.com/2025/07/03/politics/tr…

Lisa Tate, a Ventura County, California, farmer talks about what's happening on farms in that county, where fruit and vegetables are grown to supply the whole country:

“'In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,' she said in an interview. 'If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day.'"

Under normal circumstances, of course, this would simply be her job. In the current conditions, with lawmakers of color being assaulted and illegally arrested by goons, this is a very brave act of defiance.

Concentration camps are sites of tempting slave labor. Among many other aims, the Soviets used concentration camp labor to build canals and work mines."

#trump, #StephenMiller, and Tom Homan are FURIOUS about this ICEBlock app, which informs folks where #ICE is operating.

So you definitely shouldn't RT this like crazy, because it would make trump even madder.

Will the coming #Medicaid and #Medicare cuts in the budget bill being voted on now change #MAGA minds?

It will not

You, being reasonable, say government should make policy that benefits everyone. If it makes people suffer, it's bad

But millions of #bigots want this:

"It's ok that I suffer, as long as the people I hate suffer more"

"The Trump regime’s weaponization of our immigration system swung into full, appalling gear yesterday with three notable developments.

First, the GOP’s budget bill narrowly passed the Senate, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking 51-50 vote. Buried in the pages and figures of the budget are tens of billions of new dollars for immigration enforcement."

"CE’s current annual budget is around $10 billion. But under the version of the bill that passed the Senate, the agency would receive an infusion of more than $100 billion through 2029. The agency, which currently has about 6,000 deportation officers, would receive billions of dollars more to hire an additional 10,000 new ICE agents."

It just blows my mind that some people still don't seem to see the urgency and severity of the trouble we are in right now with the fascist government here in the US. This is fascism. How do you not see that? We have brownshirts kidnapping people off the streets. We have concentration camps being openly built. We have borderline autocracy.

#ICE “bounty hunters” dressed like they’re in a #war zone to detain day laborers and a lady selling #tacos at Home Depot in Cypress Park this morning.

I’m so sick of these punks!

from @rubenbolling

Know your ICE agent:
Being able to discern between a federally authorized ICE agent and a criminal kidnapper within seconds of first interaction is absolutely essential.

If your abductor is an ICE agent, you must obey, comply and submit. If your abductor is a criminal kidnapper, you are free to fight for your life.

#Cartoon #Comics #Humor #Politics #ICE #Trump #GOP #USPol #Immigration #US #USA

It seems it's not just ICE anymore. Now we may have bounty hunters kidnapping people. Certainly we have unidentified, armed thugs kidnapping people off the street and putting them in warehouses unless they agree to "voluntarily" leave the country.

I'm sorry, but I'm going there. This situation deserves an armed community response. Locate her via her cell phone, arrive in force, and free the hostages.

"Far from public view, the toll of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration is unfolding in overcrowded detention facilities across the country.

Some immigrants have gone a week or more without showers. Others sleep pressed tightly together on bare floors. Medications for diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic health problems are often going unprovided."
