Family members gathered outside Delaney Hall to start visiting their family members.
One family shares that their loved one was detained on Friday. #MothersDay
📣This #MothersDay, let’s end the police state!
Join us outside Delaney Hall from 9am to 6pm to bring flowers for the mothers disappeared by ICE.
We won’t stop fighting until all disappeared are released & all ICE jails are closed.
