ICE deportation orders against immigrant activists draw DC protest

On the 19th of January, migrant rights activists held a protest demanding that ICE and other agencies cease and desist targetting known organizers for deportation orders. One of the speakers was Maru Mora Villalpando of Northwest Detention Center Resistance, who received a no-warning deportation order even though ICE did not have a active case against her.

Trump's pogrom against Latinx people is accelerating. He is on record as saying he wants to deport between 11 and 12 million people. The Federal government may face a service(but not police/military) shutdown because the GOP won't accept a spending bill with protections for DREAMers (migrants brought here as children) baked in. It is possible no budget will pass without money for Trump's racial separation wall. Now ICE is deliberately targetting those who dare to speak out against the pogram for deportation, regardless of their normal procedures.
