1/ SOS #BOSTON:
Yesterday #ICE physically restrained my client just outside the #EastBoston District Court clerk's office immediately after he made bail. The chief of probation said it was the first time in 40 yrs immigration authorities had actually entered the courthouse.

2/ He is 21 years old. No crim record. 1 month away from a greencard. Facing serious harm if deported.
We had done everything possible to keep him from #ICE, but even the #Boston #TrustAct could not protect him.
This is a problem.

3/ Even when they are on a state-issued GPS bracelet, ICE officers will cut the bracelet off and toss it back onto a probation officer's desk. Even so, probation told me that they are officially "neutral" on #ICE actions. I tried to explain that there is no "neutral" here.
Today I went to a protest. The protest was on Trump's child detention policy and the shittiness of ICE. Appropriately, it took place in front of the building that houses ICE's San Francisco office, on Sansome Street in the coldest part of town, the Financial District. /1
A noontime wind whipped off the Bay and through the dark streets. Many in the crowd - between 700 and 1000 - difficult to tell because there was a lot of coming and going - were bundled up or shivering.
The scene was solemn, the chants strong but cold. /2

Unlike every other San Francisco protest I've been in, this one had no joy. That sounds strange, but, when you are out on the street with others, united for or against some cause, there is warmth in solidarity. You don't feel alone, you feel hope, you feel joy. /3

First, to get a complete and painful understanding of the WIDESPREAD ABUSE of these children, read this report based on thousands of government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. It’s a HARD read. ☹

Chris Hayes also put out an important summary of what’s happening with Federal agents systematically taking children away from parents at the border (even children as young as a year old).
