Protesting ICE


I was one of more than 150 demonstrators who assembled outside the Dearborn, Michigan Police Department calling for an end to that department's agreement to hold ICE detainees. The demonstration was part of a national #CloseTheCamps campaign, which protests immigration policies of the current administration. 



We have a responsibility to stand up against hate. This was echoed by U.S. Representatives Debbie Dingell, Andy Levin and Rashida Talib who also attended the event.

The gathering was hosted by Detroit Jews for Justice, Council on American-Islamic Relations of Michigan, and Bend The Arc: Ann Arbor.

UPDATE: The City of Dearborn has terminated their agreement with ICE. I'd like to believe this happened in response to the demonstration.

  2. That moment when you are an ICE member and no one cares about your service quite sad no one looks out for their lives
