Truck as a weapon: Jewish protesters attacked at ICE facility

Latest


 
Editor’s note: The photo above is a video still from Never Again Action, youtu.be/deLO7lTcoMs. The following excerpt is from a statement by Jews Against ICE.
“Tonight we experienced a tiny example of the violence ICE uses on our immigrant neighbors every day. [In the video of the incident], you can see the moment an ICE guard drove his truck through our peaceful #JewsAgainstICE protest in Rhode Island at the Wyatt Detention Center. Then other guards came out and pepper sprayed the crowd, while the police stood by and did nothing. We will not allow ICE’s violence to deter us. We will continue to put our bodies on the line to #ShutDownICE, because we know from our ancestors that this kind of violence only escalates, unless we stop it. … Until our politicians take real action to shut down ICE, and create safe conditions for immigrants and asylum seekers, we will continue to make it impossible for ICE to do business as usual.
