"The diagnosis Dr. N entered—possible pneumonia—provided justification, but it was not the reason she admitted him. She felt responsible for the patient’s future, so she made up a diagnosis to orchestrate an admission. Dr. N figured that immigration agents could not simply wait in the hallway. She hoped they would leave.
They did."

#Immigrant families protest at #Texas facility housing 5-year-old boy, father detained in #Minnesota

Excerpt: "Dozens of immigrant families protested Saturday behind the fences of a Texas detention facility where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent this week after being detained in Minnesota.
"Aerial photos taken by The Associated Press showed children and parents at the South Texas Family Residential Center clad in jackets and sweaters, some of them holding signs that included 'Libertad para los niños,' or 'Liberty for the kids.'
"Families could also be heard outside chanting 'Libertad!' or 'Let us go,' said Eric Lee, an immigration attorney who was there to visit a client at the facility in the town of #Dilley.
" 'The message we want to send is for them to treat us with dignity and according to the law. We’re immigrants, with children, not criminals,' Maria Alejandra Montoya Sanchez, 31, told the AP in a phone interview from the facility after the demonstration. She and her 9-year-old daughter have been held at Dilley since October."

Today in Labor History January 25, 1926: 16,000 textile workers went on strike in Passaic, N.J. The United Front Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party launched the strike. It was the first Communist-led strike in the U.S. At the time, men earned less than $1,200 per year in Passaic mills, while women were lucky to earn $1,000. Yet it cost $1,400 per year to live there. The IWW had attempted to organize the mills in 1912. Most of the workers were immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. The United Front appealed to the American Federation of Labor for help. However, the AFL refused, saying they’d have nothing to do with Communists. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (IWW organizer) and Mary Heaton Vorse both helped support the strikers. In August, 1926, the United Front relinquished control of the strike to the AFL-affiliated United Textile Workers, who eventually settled with the mill owners on March 1, 1927. Vorse was a journalist and novelist who reported on, while simultaneously participating in, many strikes of the era. She also wrote the novel, “Strike!” about the 1929 Gastonia Textile Strike.

"There is no database tracking when ICE agents use force against women. But a growing number of videos captured throughout the first year of the second Trump administration offer some insight into the violent encounters that women have experienced: broken car windows, yanking, shoving, pepper-spraying and shootings, all of them out in the open and available on social media."
