Shut Down ICE Operations — California Must Act Now
Shut down ICE operations in California and push for an end to these operations nationwide. What is happening right now is not immigration enforcement — it is a political terror campaign, and you have the power to stop it. Maryam Tahmasebi, a psychology professor and legal permanent resident with a valid green card, was separated from her husband Eissa Hashemi — also a professor — because of something his mother did before he was born. She and her son have spent over 120 days in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Read the full account here: https://substack.com/@thiswillhold/note/c-315747466
These are not criminals. These are green card holders, professors, and children being held in for-profit detention centers run by companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group, where profit motive replaces any duty of care. ICE is completely out of control, operating less like a law enforcement agency and more like a political weapon. Use every tool available — state law, budget authority, intergovernmental agreements — to cut off all cooperation with ICE and protect California residents. The Hashemi family's nightmare is what happens when elected officials stay silent. Don't stay silent.
