Emergency protests: ICE visits courthouses across California

Right now, ICE agents are ramping up operations inside immigration courts across the country. On Friday, California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice released a press statement alerting us that court buildings in San Francisco, Concord, and Sacramento have seen ICE agents asking people for their names and IDs, and even coordinating with ICE attorneys inside the courtroom to try to get cases dismissed, just to arrest people as they walk out. This aggressive tactic is a direct threat to due process and justice, putting families and communities at risk.

While this is a terrifying development we want to instill “power, not panic,” reminding everyone that people in immigration proceedings have rights, and that help is available through local Rapid Response Networks (www.ccijustice.org/carrn) and court accompaniment programs. For more information read the full press release here.

This is the moment to show up. Stand with immigrant community members under attack. Raise your voice. Take action. Let’s move forward together.
