Trumps MAGA goon squads are terrorizing these illegals & relishing their power & control. 99% of the illegals traveled thru hell for a chance to escape violence & poverty. Most are fervent catholic hard working family people. It’s a lie that they consume government support … they must pay taxes but receive no Medicare, no food stamps, no social security … that’s trump MAGA propaganda no different than Hitler used to demonize the Jews. The goons claim they’re just following orders, they’re just doing their job, they’re just enforcing the law … just like the Gestapo told themselves … the Bible says “whatsoever yea do to the least of these … you do so even unto me” … even if you don’t believe in god or karma … you are … what you do … your evil will infect your soul … if god is real … you’ll burn in hell for eternity
All this is very important and show that protests work but all these protests would be even bigger if there was a way way to find out about them. A national clearinghouse of info. And yes there are different groups that published some protests (why do they ask people to register for a protest? Do they not realize we are living in a fascist state?) But there should be one place. And the big list of protests doesn't list many protests.
It's heartening to read about the myriad ways in which people are standing up for our collective rights.
For clarification, the image of the Virgin Mary depicted being handcuffed by ICE agents on a banner is not just any image of Mary, as identified in the caption in the original article. It is the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe (known as "Nuestra Señora" or "La Virgen"), named by the Catholic Church as the patroness of Latin America and revered for nearly five centuries as the most important religious and political symbol of Mexican national identity and independence.
"Due to her association as a crusader of social justice, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has been utilized as a symbol across regions to advance political movements and mobilize the masses." - Wikipedia
Understanding the tremendous significance of "La Virgen" in Mexican - and Chicano - culture helps us understand the powerful symbolism of this banner.

I just found a site called freedom for immigrants that I will investigate. As a 77 yr old near-luddite I don't know how to include a link.
Is there a list of ICE detention centers somewhere that could facilitate local protests?
