#community-protection

Take their neighbors, classmates, and community members? Not on their watch. Moms around the country dedicated much of their year to protecting children and families in their communities from unlawful deportation. There was the group of over a dozen moms arrested while protesting outside Broadview Detention Center in Chicago. There was t he mom group who organized a "walking school bus" to get children to school safely if their parents feared being targeted by ICE.

Defend Our Juries, the group which has been organising the protests in London, said it intended to go ahead with its action on Saturday, and it urged the police to focus on protecting those communities fearing reprisals or follow-up terror attacks. We urge you to choose to prioritise protecting the community, rather than arresting those peacefully holding signs in opposition to the absurd and draconian ban of a domestic direct action group, Defend Our Juries told the Metropolitan police in a letter of reply.

I heard them saying, 'Where are you from? Where are your parents from?' Wilder told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace. 'And I just stepped in and said this is very inappropriate to ask these kids anything ... I'm just going to have them implement their Fifth Amendment right, and not say anything to you.'
