Rally Terminar Colaboración con La Migra/End ICE Collaboration

Por español, mira la pagina.

Tomorrow, Monday June 5th 2017, at 5:30pm, at the Richmond City Jail (1701 Fairfield Way, Richmond VA), ICE Out of RVA is convening a demonstration to demand an end to cooperation between the Richmond Sheriff's Department and the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

What happens when local authorities cooperate with ICE? Things like this: Delmy, a Richmond resident for 2 years who's lived in the US for 14 years and never been charged with a crime, was arrested recently for a minor crime with little evidence. As she was being released after paying bond, a Richmond jail employee turned her over to ICE, and now she faces deportation. You can read more details in the event page, but the gist is:

The immigration system is broken. Cooperating with ICE doesn't fix that system, it just exposes people subject to a broken system to inhumane conditions.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports: Richmond Sheriff Woody to be penalized for failing to save video in jail death case.

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch: 

“Richmond Sheriff C.T. Woody Jr. faces monetary sanctions and other penalties after failing to preserve videotape evidence in the case of a 28-year-old woman who died at the Richmond City Justice Center in August 2014, the week the facility opened. U.S. District Judge M. Hannah Lauck sided with Paige Jenkins, the mother of Erin Jenkins, in a ruling issued Saturday imposing sanctions on Woody, who oversees the city jail.”
