1/6 Pablo Sánchez, a 40 year old from Venezuela, died in ICE Custody last Friday, October, 1st. Pablo had AIDS and fled persecution seeking asylum in the US for his safety and health. Pablo was detained by CBP at Del Río City, Texas 
2/6 Pablo was forced into detention where his health quickly deteriorated due to medical neglect. ICE was fully aware of Pablo’s medical fragility and failed to release him so that he could obtain life-saving interventions.
3/6 Pablo died because ICE was reckless and negligent and the lack of appropriate medical care resulted in complications with acute respiratory impairment, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, pneumonia, acute renal failure, anemia and covid-19.
1/As our violently flawed and racist policing system continues to plague Black & brown communities from coast to coast, it’s clear that so many of the laws currently in place do nothing to protect us. And in a few weeks, @DHSgov will release new “enforcement” policies. #EyesonICE
2/These policies will determine every arrest, detention, & deportation that ICE and CBP execute over the next few years, and will have life-or-death impacts on immigrant communities across the country.
These harms must END. #EyesonICE
These harms must END. #EyesonICE
3/The Biden Administration STILL uses criminal convictions as the basis for its temporary deportation policy, even as the inherent racism of policing is exposed over and over again.
There are just a few weeks left to change that. #EyesonICE

Gerrad, an Irish immigrant, w/@familiesfreedom at the #EyesonICE Forum, was illegally detained in an ICE detention center for time after his release when he asked officers if he'd be released before Christmas they told him, "Your case has been repealed. Merry f*cking Christmas."
Gerrad was reprimanded for giving another ICE detainee without money batteries for his radio. He experienced and witnessed abuses by white officers to him as well as other ICE detainees. When he filed complaints, there was no follow-up.

"If a detainee might die, then ICE will release you to avoid liability. This is a practice that is done across the country." - Gerrad w/ @familiesfreedom

Jacinta kicks-off national 'Deportations Under Biden' #EyesOnICE forum,“Since 3/1 @conmijente w/ #WeareHome campaign & partner orgs have been organizing #EyesonICE forums across the country to lift up the stories & demands of the ppl who’ve confronted detention and deportation.
Jacinta w/ @conmijente shares the plans for the final #EyesonICE forum, “On May 3rd we'll have our closing forum, where we have invited @AliMayorkas to attend. We hope he’ll join us.”
1/ Happening now: DWN, @NIJC, @ACLU, and @MigrantFreedom are holding a briefing with members of Congress to call for routine surprise visits of ICE jails in their districts and states. #EyesonICE #AbolishDetention
2/ ICE’s inspection process fails to provide an accurate assessment of the conditions people in detention face by lacking independent, regular, & unannounced inspections of detention facilities. We need #EyesonICE to hold the egregious agency accountable.
3/Immigration detention is the unjust practice of incarcerating immigrants while they await a decision on their immigration status. Within a broader system which targets low income people of color, @ICEgov locks up people in abysmal conditions where a culture of abuse permeates.
