The Stories Behind the Movement

Alabama has seen a dramatic rise in ICE enforcement in our communities. The popular narrative is that ICE is only going after “criminals” (which itself is a dog whistle we know is applied inconsistently based on people's race, class, and presentation) – but the reality is that people being taken are workers, parents and caregivers, neighbors and community members. ICE is not making our communities safer – certainly not for immigrants, and not for anyone else either.  What they are doing is tearing apart families, and making entire communities live in paralyzing fear.
