Livestream from #DTW. @United, are your gate agents arguing that a man who is resisting can forcibly be put on your plane? Is that the policy your company endorses? Transportation services for a cruel agency that is ripping apart families? #FreePapaDoumbiam.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
Banny Doumbia was showing up at ALL of his ICE check-ins. For years. He was detained arbitrarily at his last one and now @united is carrying out @ICEgov orders. People wonder what "obeying orders" in the context of human rights injustices looks like? You're seeing it now.
Reminder that @ICEgov was created under the Bush administration. A handful of our "fellow Americans" are making BILLIONS of dollars off increased surveillance, detention, & deportation. They ruin the lives of people who are no danger to anyone so they can try & sate their greed.
Family and friends and people who believe in justice are chanting "@united stop the flight" at #DTW right now. #FreePapaDoumbia, United. Don't carry out orders for the cruel enforcement arm of this administration.
"I just finance the trucks that transported the prisoners..."
"I just own the train company they're using to move the people..."
"I just manage the building where they're letting them sleep..."
Protesters are still at #DTW to #FreePapaDoumbia. His @united flight is taxiing and headed toward Newark before he'll be forced on another flight to the Ivory Coast. If you're headed to the airport, protestors are requesting water.
Thank you all! UPDATE: @united canceled Papa Doumbia's ticket! United, please don't let ICE book with you again to execute these inhumane policies. #FreePapaDoumbia
