Last night I had a dream that I was hiding 2 young boys from ICE. ICE was chasing them past my house and I let them in knowing ICE needed a warrant to get into my house and knowing they couldn’t get one because they could not identify the kids. I kept them in my home for 2 weeks while ICE waited outside my home waiting for us to come outside. Friends brought by food. I worked remote. After 2 weeks, ICE had left and I went to tell the boys but the oldest was gone. He snuck out the night before to meet a girl he had talked to online (it was a decoy and ICE snatched him).
ICE is terrorizing homes, communities, families, humans. ICE is terrorizing MY community. And now ICE is terrorizing my dreams. I am seeing members of my community go missing and their absence is FELT. The terror ICE has brought upon my community is shifting our social structure.
ICE has been granted permission by the higher courts to harass people due to racial profiling. They’ve harassed active duty members and Americans, kidnapping them and brutalizing them. I know I am an American citizen. I know I am a Black biracial individual. I also know most people look at me and assume I am Hispanic. I know it is possible that ICE could target me if they see me. I carry multiple forms of identification but I am still scared for myself and others.
I come from immigrants. My fathers family immigrated to America from Germany during the Prussian war. My mother’s family were unwilling immigrants, stolen and brought here during the transatlantic slave trade. I have always and will always support immigration. Because of immigration, my community is diverse and beautiful.
Just know, if you voted for this, I do not respect you nor will I forgive you. Ignorance is not a palpable excuse. You sided with hate, with greed, with selfishness. ICE is ripping families apart during the holidays. This breaks my heart. Please know I will do all I can to support my community. Please never hesitate to reach out.
Para mi gente, toda me gente. 💜
