from SWOP Behind Bars Advocacy from the Margins · host Swopbehindbars

ICE, Border Patrol, tactical units, tear gas, mass arrests - this is no longer about border states. It’s urban invasion. And in a twist that surprises no one who works with criminalized communities, even police forces in those cities aren’t fully signing on.
