COSECHA: Union County Won’t Collab w/ ICE Detentions!
Editor’s Note: Great news and congrats to COSECHA and the other front line organizations that made this happen. This is the true anti-Trump struggle – while NJ legislative democrats come out of summer recess to bring fascist IHRA repressive legislation while ignoring the badly needed Immigrant Trust Act – grassroots defeats local political attempt to profit off the fascism for a local municipality. This campaign showed the collaboration can be stopped – lets make NJ ICE Concentration Camp Free – lots of work ahead – congrats! FightBackBetter is branching out from coverage of pro-Palestinian work to take on more reporting on the anti-ICE struggle – as always in an amplifying supportive role!
URGENTE – ULTIMO MINUTO!
El Condado de Union acaba de anunciar que NO FIRMARA contratos con ICE.
Union County, NJ – 24 de julio de 2025
Tras una intensa campaña de organización popular, Union County dice que no firmará contratos con la Migra para separar a nuestras familias. La comunidad habló alto y claro: ¡No más detención ni colaboración con el sistema migratorio represivo!.
Una cárcel menos donde pudieron haber encerrado a nuestras familias. Una victoria contra el miedo, contra el negocio del encierro, contra la crueldad que se disfraza de legalidad.
Hoy triunfó la organización, la dignidad y la resistencia.
Esto fue posible gracias a la lucha incansable de familias inmigrantes, exdetenidos, Aliados y grupos comunitarios.
URGENT – LAST MINUTE!
Union County just announced they will NOT sign contracts with ICE..
Union County, NJ – July 24, 2025
After an intense campaign by the people’s organization, Union County says it will not sign contracts with Migrants to separate our families. The community spoke loud and clear: No more detention or collaboration with the repressive immigration system!.
One less jail where our families could have been locked up. A victory against fear, against the business of lockdown, against cruelty disguised as legality.
Organisation, dignity and resistance triumphed today.
This was made possible by the tireless fight of immigrant families, ex-inmates, Allies and community groups.
