I’m the president of Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, and my city is under occupation by the federal government.
Our community has pulled together, doing everything we can to protect our neighbors from being kidnapped and detained by ICE and border patrol.
One of our members was detained by ICE in the parking lot of their workplace and taken to a facility in Texas. After two weeks in detention under astonishing conditions, being pressured to sign “voluntary” deportation orders, the worker was finally granted habeas and was released.
Two other people in the household also work where the detainment took place. It is not safe to return to work, so they have had no income for weeks. They are thankful to be reunited, but afraid that eviction is around the corner.
There are more stories like this. These are the families we are supporting with rent.
If we don’t help, landlords will begin eviction proceedings, potentially bringing law enforcement to the people who have successfully avoided ICE during the occupation.
Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation created a fund to pay the rent for families who can’t go to work because they are threatened by ICE. Can you help Minnesota residents targeted by ICE pay rent and avoid eviction this month? When we stand together, we are more powerful than any other force.
Please, chip in to protect our neighbors: >> https://laborforce.co/l/AOEpMq
