Stand with us for immigrants and against ICE. Visit bearingwitnessNE.org
#abolishICE

Join us tomorrow, 3/4, for our 46th @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social standout. Guest speaker Rev. Jamie Hinson-Rieger will discuss his recent time in MN and share what he learned from the trip. He’ll also share messages MN organizers had for us. Stand in solidarity with immigrants, against ICE.

This is an attack on human rights and another example of this authoritarian regime going after a marginalized group to distract you from the Epstein class. Read @erininthemorning.com’s whole thread and stand up for our trans siblings!!

➡️➡️ WED 2/25 CANCELED: Due to heavy snow we must cancel the standout at ICE in Burlington tomorrow, 2/25. Spread the word, stay home and safe, and use the time to call your members of Congress to encourage them to make unannounced visits to the ICE facility in Burlington. bit.ly/4aCbggA

GREAT news: Plans for ICE warehouse/detention center in Merrimack, NH are canceled! NH Gov Ayotte took credit in her announcement today, saying her recent mtg with DHS Sec Noem was the reason. We know better. It was a result of the unrelenting outcry from supporters of immigrants & NO ICE protests.

At our standout on Feb. 4, US Army veteran Bob Kebartas explains why he is a veteran against ICE. He believes as we do that that the agency demonizes and abuses immigrants and should be abolished. This was the 42nd week of peaceful protests at ICE in Burlington. #abolishice #iceout

“We’ll notify next of kin if she dies” ICE tells husband of woman detained in MA; Bearing Witness YouTube video by Bearing Witness at ICE Burlington, MA

Organizers sharing immigrant experiences from the Burlington, MA ICE facility. Hoping our government officials can make their voices heard too, since they’ve been inside and can speak up about the abuse taking place there.

We started 19 weeks ago, just two of us standing in front of ICE bearing witness. Yesterday we numbered over 550, peacefully protesting the horrendous actions of ICE at their “office” in Burlington, MA, where they illegally detain immigrants and deny them their constitutional rights.
