Organize Against ICE Overreach
The following is the statement of Bloomfield organizers looking to protect their area communities from ICE terror in response to the launch of attacks on lawn maintenance worker crews in neighboring Glen Ridge. It is encouraging to see this pro-active response. For anyone using lawn services – if you have capacity please watch over the crew and watch the road. Please take whatever protective measures are possible and offer shelter and legal protection if possible if ICE terrorists show up.
