NEW. Our friends at Detention Watch Network are calling on the Biden admin to act now & scale back ICE’s harmful e-surveillance system.

In this Truthout op-ed, DWN's Setareh Ghandehari outlines how ICE’s so-called “alternatives to detention” - including ankle monitors, cell phone apps & case management - cause physical & psychological harm, & are “turning immigrants’ homes and communities into an extension of prison cells.”

Hundreds of us gathered outside Manston to demand its immediate closure. Children inside waved back at us before guards shut the windows.
People are being held illegally without access to support, medication, or basic facilities.

Massive - there isn't really a descriptor of a quantity sufficiently large - respect and regard for @BennnyH@twitter.com and all the other marchers pictured. We need more coordinated direct action to tear down hostile environment infrastructure, always, and especially right now.
