Green card holder Paramjit Singh has lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years, built a business in Fort Wayne, raised a family, and followed the law. Yet ICE and DHS are caging him like a criminal over a 25-year-old infraction: using a payphone without inserting 35 cents. He was seized at O’Hare on July 30, held incommunicado for five days as his brain tumor and heart condition spiraled into an emergency. His family only learned where he was when a hospital bill arrived. Today, months later, he remains locked inside Boone County Jail in Kentucky.
DHS is threatening to charge people who document ICE agents. The Department of Homeland Security says filming and posting videos of ICE agents constitutes “violence,” and has threatened to charge people who take videos and photos of agents conducting raids in their communities. DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told the Center for Media and Democracy that “videotaping ICE law enforcement and posting photos and videos of them online is doxxing our agents.” Apparently she isn’t aware of the First Amendment (no surprise) Reminder: The First Amendment protects the right to records law enforcement officers performing their duties in public. This includes ICE agents. We will continue exercising our First Amendment right to document and report ICE activity across the country. Silence is Defeat. Stay aware, stay alert, be vigilant.

Everyone had their case dismissed that afternoon which meant ICE could now take them at anytime. With only one way out of the building and ICE sitting in cars throughout the parking lot I knew what was going to happen. The mother’s friend-who had been sitting in the car next to mine-stepped out and met them by the front entrance, just a few feet from where I stood with the Priests. For a second, I couldn’t tell if the mother realized what was about to happen. But it only took that second. Suddenly, the ICE agents-every one of them a masked man-began walking toward us. Toward her. And that’s when it started. The little girl saw them first. “Mommy! Mommy!” she screamed, and burst into tears. Then her brother realized what was happening and started crying too. ICE doesn’t like to take children when the Priests are present and watching. ICE -asked whoever is with the kids to follow them to a different location, so they can take the children too. Because the kids are also in removal proceedings.

Rafie Shouhed, a 79-year-old business owner from Van Nuys, is speaking out after what he calls a violent and unjust encounter with ICE. On Sept. 9, ICE agents raided his business, Valley Car Wash, in search of undocumented workers. Surveillance footage shows Shouhed knocked to the ground twice — once inside his office and again outside — even after he identified himself as the owner and a U.S. citizen. Shouhed says he was detained for 12 hours, denied medical care, and left with serious injuries, including bruised ribs, arm injuries, and a traumatic brain injury. Now, he’s taking action, filing a $50 million damages claim accusing ICE and Border Protection agents of excessive force and violating his constitutional rights.

George Retes is a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran who served a tour in Iraq. On July 10, while on his way to work as a security guard at a Southern California cannabis farm, he was detained by federal immigration agents, Retes told Conor Friedersdorf—despite telling them that he is an American citizen and that his wallet and identification were in his nearby car.Retes was held in a jail cell for three days and was not allowed to make a phone call, see an attorney, appear before a judge, or take a shower to wash off pepper spray and tear gas that the agents had used, according to a public-interest law firm representing Retes.Retes is seeking relief under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which allows private parties to sue for negligent or wrongful acts committed by federal employees acting within their job. “There must be some avenue to hold the federal government or its officers liable for violating George’s constitutional rights,” Marie Miller, one of Retes’s attorneys, told Friedersdorf. ICE did not respond to Friedersdorf’s request for comment about Retes’s claim, but a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement after the raid in which he was swept up, saying that the “U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing his case, along with dozens of others, for potential federal charges related to the execution of the federal search warrant in Camarillo.”
HE NEEDS TO GO HOME': A 42-year-old Honduran citizen died in his New York jail cell while in ICE custody last week, leaving behind a daughter and former girlfriend in Lexington who are now fighting to bring his body home for burial. Santos Reyes-Bangegas, who went by Allen, was found dead after being in custody for less than a day. ICE says he had been deported at least four times previously and had lived in Kentucky in 2019 before being sent back to Honduras. The preliminary cause of death was found to be liver failure, and Reyes-Bangegas had a history of drinking. However, his former girlfriend Mary Diaz, who now has custody of his daughter Juana, questions the circumstances surrounding his death. The family learned of Reyes-Bangegas' death from another prisoner who was at the same jail, not from ICE or jail officials. The family wants to hold a funeral service in Kentucky before sending his body to Honduras, where the rest of his family lives. ICE says the death remains under investigation.

Weeks later, Estela Ramos Baten was gone. 💔 The 45-year-old mother of LA honor student Nory Sontay Ramos collapsed in Guatemala after ICE deported them on July 4, without returning the blood pressure meds she needed. Her daughter says, "They took away my mother’s medicine. I had no way to help her." The story behind her death is one of fear, neglect, and the cruelty of a system that rips families apart.

ICE agents detained at least two Venezuelan men in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood on Monday, including one pulled from his car at 24th and Albany despite claims of legal status.

A California man Kinnaree Muangchanh has recently been detained after a routine check in and is now facing deportation from the United States back to Laos. He has lived here for over 40 years, built his life in this community, and has always been a kind and dependable presence. Kinnaree has always checked in with immigration, followed the rules, and stayed out of trouble . He has been a law-abiding resident who respected the process, yet despite doing everything right, he now faces being torn away from the family and community who love and rely on him.Before all this, Kinnaree was a hardworking father who provided for his family. He dedicated himself to his job until he was injured at work, which became a major setback. Even through that hardship, he never gave up — he turned his focus to caring for his family in every way he could.After his injury, he became the heart of the household, caring for his children and his elderly grandmother. He was the one who got the kids ready for school, cooked for the family, and made sure everyone was looked after. His love, dedication, and resilience have always shone through, even in the hardest times.
