News
On Sunday, April 27th, US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detained 114 immigrants in Colorado Springs. On X, Attorney General Pam Bondi admitted that ICE only had warrants for 2 of the people whom they arrested.
Those detained were placed on buses for ‘processing,’ which may result in either deportation or rendition to CECOT (the Salvadoran prison which the Human Rights Watch has called out for numerous rights abuses). Notably, the Trump administration has referred to rendition to CECOT as ‘deportation’ multiple times, and has claimed that those arrested will likely be deported as well.
Non-Protest Actions Bingo
The below bingo card contains a list of actions you can take (other than protesting) to help further the cause. If you get a bingo (or heck, a blackout), tag us on social media to let us know!
1. We obviously aren’t going to dictate what constitutes a worthy cause, but if you want ideas we’d suggest the ACLU or Jeanette Vizguerra’s GoFundMe
2. If you don’t have Amazon Prime or Walmart Plus (or if you’ve already cancelled), take this as a free space
3. You can boost upcoming protests by sharing on social media, putting up posters, or even writing the information on the sidewalk!
