Join our weekly protest. Every Saturday 1pm-2pm. Outside Tom Emmers office in Chaska.

FLASH PROTEST!!  Tuesday morning 10am! We need YOU!!  NO to ICE in our Carver County jail!! 

We are doing another flash protest at the Visitors Presentation at the Carver County Board of Commissioners meeting on Dec. 16th, Tuesday, promptly at 10:00 am. (The meeting is one hour later than normal because of a Legislative Breakfast.) Carver County Goverment Center 602 East 4th Street, Chaska, MN 55318

Please come to fill the visitors chairs again like we did in September. Better yet, step forward and share your own concerns about having an ICE contract to use beds in our Carver County jail.  (You can leave after visitor presentations.)

How will increasing the presence of ICE in our community affect your friends and neighbors, or maybe it's your children and grandchildren.  Hispanic are already afraid to leave their homes, get food, go to work, send their children to school and it will only get worse if ICE is going back and forth on our streets to our jail.

Stop the Aggressive ICE Raids and Attacks on Immigrants

The Trump administration has continually attacked immigrant communities across the country with aggressive ICE raids, abusive and inhumane detention facilities, and targeted attacks on cities and minority groups to create fear and silence opposition.

• Trump has launched targeted attacks on Democratic-led cities — Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and New Orleans — and on specific immigrant populations, like the Somali community in Minnesota.

• The Trump administration has paused green cards and citizenship applications for people from 19 countries and has canceled citizenship ceremonies for immigrants around the country.

• Hundreds of U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained and mistreated by federal agents, often as a result of racial profiling.

• Detainees at ICE facilities have been subjected to inhumane conditions, abuse, and even CIA-style torture. 510 identifiable human rights violations have been reported, including sexual assault, medical negligence, and mistreatment of children and pregnant people.

• Thousands of immigrants arrested by border patrol have gone missing in Chicago following “Operation Midway Blitz” and in Miami from “Alligator Alcatraz.”

• ICE is using a number of privacy-violating surveillance tools and facial recognition spyware to hack phones, monitor a person’s social media, and use databases to profile and track individuals. Federal and local law enforcement has also used Flock Safety’s license plate tracking data to surveil protestors and immigrants.

• The administration has revived its inhumane family separation policy; hundreds of children have been caught up in aggressive ICE raids and torn away from parents.

These increasingly grotesque, coercive, and illegal policies are glaring indicators of rising authoritarianism in America. Demand your representatives push back against these escalating attacks on human rights.
