"A judge has ordered the case of a Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey who was detained by immigration authorities, sparking outrage in Massachusetts, be moved to federal court in Vermont, rather than keep the case in Massachusetts or move it to Louisiana, where she's been in custody."

Time to wake the fuck up #Vermont

They're arresting naturalized Nepali business owners from Winooski with n̶o̶ ̶c̶r̶i̶m̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶r̶d̶ a DUI in 2017 now

Just had a Nepali friend call me to tell me that and ask me "can they deport me? I'm naturalized, my kids are citizens" and all I could tell him was "I don't know"

Edited: with updated info about his case, which it's still illegal to deport him for that. Apparently, they are sending letters telling people they have been "denaturalized" for minor shit

Protests aren't going to do shit until they turn into real riots.

I love how all the #vermont peeps are all excited to makes signs for Saturday, but NO ONE is willing to march on the ICE facility in Williston and burn it to the ground.

They're putting ICE detainees IN OUR JAILS people, not even in ICE facilities, in the goddamn South Burlington JAIL.

If ever there was something we had a moral responsibility to address AND is local and right in our faces THIS IS IT.
