ICE is now detaining immigrants at Guantanamo Bay. While unsurprising given Trump’s current onslaught, returning to actively using Guantanamo Bay shows his desire to shock but is also emblematic of the recent turn toward a “tough on crime” orientation.

Thousands of people detained by ICE are actually held in local, publically operated jails These facilities–run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of the incarceration of people who are mostly accused of no more serious offense than crossing the border without permission

**Know the Difference: Identifying Immigration Enforcement Vehicles** It’s crucial to know which vehicles are involved in immigration enforcement. All different types of Feds are in LA, we should become familiar with them. There’s also been reports of ICE & DEA in unmarked cars
Don’t share unverified reports of ICE sightings Fear is a tool of the state! Rumors about ICE sightings have spread like wildfire. Sharing false or outdated info can be harmful. Only share vetted sightings. If you see the Feds, call a rapid response hotline # (LA in thread👇)
