Take a gander at the surge of violence against immigrant families and Indigenous communities sweeping across the good ol' USA these days. It's no secret that the current administration's immigration policies are causing chaos, pushing folks to the brink with militarized raids and family separations.

Let's dive into some background: historically, both immigrants and Indigenous peoples have faced a mountain of systemic injustices, from xenophobia to colonization and displacement. And as you might guess, the twists and turns of U.S. immigration policies have seen some turbulent times, whisper it not, escalating tensions and violence against immigrant communities[1].

Now, let's talk about what ol' President Trump and the gang are up to:

  1. The Militarized Showdown: Under Trump, the military was weaponized against immigrant communities during raids and deportations[1]. This ain't good for nobody, causing widespread fear and mayhem for millions of immigrants.
  2. Family Torn Apart: Yep, you heard it right: separation of families, even including the tiniest of tots, has been the sad reality for many[1]. 'Tis a sad sight, ripping kids from their mama's arms, causing damage that could last a lifetime.
  3. Activist Repression: Gotta watch out for those lil' activists, too, cause they've been gettingcriminalized, harassed, and even attacked for speaking up in favor of immigrant rights[1].

But hey, don't think that's just ol' Trump's dealio. The current administration's actions are often reactions to the mess he left behind, with the Biden crew trying to clean up some of the mess with more inclusive policies and calls for accountability.

Now, look at the folks feeling the pain: migrant communities live in constant fear, fretting about arrests, deportations, and violence whenever they step outside their doors to do normal stuff like work, visit the doc, or buy food. The streets of cities like Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Texas, and more have turned into war zones, ruled by the boot of a brutal government crackdown[2].

As Indigenous peoples and allies, we've got solidarity with the beleaguered migrant community and all those fighting against these injustices. We stand together to call out this violence and demand justice, fairness, and the rule of law for all[3].

Here's what we need, folks:

  • Stop the ICE madness and halt all operations against immigrant communities;
  • Guarantee freedom of expression and protests without repression, arrest, or criminalization;
  • Get rid of the armed forces and withdraw from our streets;
  • Drop charges against protesters peacefully speaking up;

But we ain't gonna stop there: we're calling on the international community to stand with us, condemning the violence in the US and pushing for an end to the harassment and persecution of immigrant communities.

Solidarity, y'all.
