Ex: Muslim Ban criminalizes Muslims and their migration and also prevent (Muslim) refugees from fleeing war (including gender violence exacerbated by war). Every1 deserves safety no matter where they were born #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE #NoMuslimBanEver

Many law enforcement agencies share information with ICE to facilitate deportations, such as release date of folks from jail. Some even loan out their jail beds to ICE for $ to incarcerate immigrants facing deportation. #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

Mandatory arrests, where both survivor/abuser may be arrested on a domestic violence call to police, could lead to immigration detention due to law enforcement entanglement in the deportation machine #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

Recently, we've seen ICE target and arrest survivors at courthouses, who have shown up to access legal remedies like a restraining order. This is yet another weapon added to the arsenal of abuse #AbolishICE #FreeThemAll #SurvivedAndPunished

Example: Last year, Ms. Gonzalez, a trans undocumented woman from TX, was arrested at the courthouse while seeking a protective order. It's widely believed that her abuser tipped off ICE to make the arrest #SurvivedAndPunished #AbolishICE #FreeThemAll

Queer&trans folx migrating to the US to flee from homophobia and transphobia are criminalized for survival and disproportionately experience violence while incarcerated including solitary confinement #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

In abusive relationships with immigrant survivors, abuser will withold legal docs and $ necessary to adjust immigration status, threaten to deport by calling cops or ICE, weaponize limited English proficiency in courts, etc. #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

We also see how criminalized survivors are funneled into immigration jail immediately after gaining their freedom from jail and prisons: Nan-Hui Jo, an immigrant survivor, was incarcerated again from one jail to another. #SurvivedAndPunished #AbolishICE #FreeThemAll

Frmerly incarcerated #SurvivedAndPunished organizer Ny Nourn called police 4 help, only to be blamed/convicted 4 not "controlling" her abuser. Bc she's a refugee, she was incarcerated AGAIN after being granted commutation&parole by Gov after 16 yrs inside #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

Immigration courts are overseen by the Department of Justice. Jeff Sessions, a man too racist to become a fed judge, a man with nativist, white supremacist groups, is in charge of overseeing immigration courts. #SurvivedAndPunished #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE

Recently, DOJ announced restricting asylum for survivors of domestic violence and gang violence. This is devastating esp for women, queer, trans, and GNC ppl who are disproportionately affected by both DV and gang violence. #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE #SurvivedAndPunished
