The Abolition of ICE?
Have you been hearing about "abolishing" ICE and immigration detention or perhaps you've heard advocates talk about "abolishing" the police? Check out this beautifully illustrated online guide by Abolition: A Journal of Insurgent Politics which describe why advocates are calling for abolition of harmful systems.
Please Donate Today!
As you know, we focus on paying as many bonds as we can, our fund balance is currently at under $2,500. Since a minimum ICE/Immigration Court bond is $1,500, this means we can only afford to help one person with a minimum bond at this time. But you can help change that!
Illinois just ended ICE detention. What happened to the people detained here?
Check out Injustice Watch article on ICE leaving IL last week and what that meant for the folks detained there.
