A quick reminder. 🖤❤️💛

We condemn the presence of ICE in our communities.

ICE is infringing upon human rights through racial profiling, family separations, a lack of due process, and an escalating use of aggressive and lethal tactics.

We believe in human dignity and the fundamental rights of all people.

We stand in solidarity with Minnesota and all communities nationwide that are being targeted by an agency that shows a blatant disregard for human life.
