I see your colors, I can hear them, I can hear them scream. They scream for joy, they scream in pain, they scream to be seen. I see the fire That smolders inside of you. They cannot take you, cannot keep you from being you. I wish that I could say that they would stop trying . F*** those in power, We got the power To see light through They can't see all your glorious shades & hues. And what a shame for them that we get to live our truth. They want to take away our joy but they can't tho They want to take away our joy but they can't tho (x2)
“You don’t need to let ICE in unless they have a legal warrant signed by a judge. You don’t have to speak to them, you can call a lawyer. The Know Your Rights effort is an important way for refugees to protect themselves.”
“In my experience, these are mostly families with small children. They want to follow all the rules to the letter because they want to stay here. Their worse offenses are things like maybe a car accident. They are very cautious. The Trump administration is not giving them due process before they detain or deport them. There is often no regard for their human rights.”
“The many refugee families I work with are not illegal. They are human beings who have come here under various visa statuses, including Humanitarian Parole, Temporary Protected Status, Special Immigrant Visa and others in good faith seeking asylum, which is an internationally recognized legal process. Nobody leaves their home country unless they have to. It’s the place they were born; it’s everything they know. They flee for safety and a better life.”
