Sister Letty, the South Texas Catholic nun who was abducted by ICE last month, said she feels she must speak out because there are too many others going through the same situation without the same kind of headlines that her outrageous case has received: https://americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/catholic-nun-abducted-by-ice-speaks

“The problem is getting worse, not better,” Ohio Immigrant Alliance continues. “Cases documented in 2025 and 2026 alone account for 42.4% of the entire list—25 out of 59 cases. The year 2025 saw 13 cases, and 2026 has already logged 12, with more than five months remaining.”

“Compare that to 2020, the previous peak year,” which had 6.

After refusing to sell, Huddleston’s daughter, Delsia Bare, “joined a lawsuit against the data center project.”

“Money don’t mean anything if you don’t have food, water and can’t breathe. And they’re not making any more land,” said Huddleston, 82. “You can’t get food out of a data center.”

This entirely self-inflicted crisis will be particularly felt in Florida, which is home to about half of the nation’s 350,000 Haitian #TPS holders. Roughly 35,000 of these community members work as nurses or home health aides👇🏽

Our neighbors shouldn’t have to live from headline to headline or court ruling to court ruling.

LEGALIZATION NOW

ICE abducted their mom and dad. The four Perez siblings—all American citizens—are now left to fend for themselves.

And they’re not the only ones:

“The Montclair Township Council voted unanimously Tuesday to pull all of the town’s money — about $91.1 million — out of Citizens Bank, protesting the bank’s financing of the private companies that run federal immigration detention centers.” https://www.nj.com/essex/2026/07/nj-town-pulls-91m-from-citizens-bank-over-ice-detention-financing.html

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián came to this country for their chance to reach for the American Dream.

They are now the 10th and 11th people to be shot dead by mass deportation agents since the start of the Trump administration.

These agents have faced zero accountability and remain in their jobs, endangering us all:

“‘This is your fault Susan!’ one man shouted.”

Just last month, Collins voted “in favor of a $70 billion funding bill to support Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

“About 200 people packed a sweltering South Austin church Saturday evening to mourn Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Houston homebuilder fatally shot by a federal immigration officer. They heard local immigrants describe how detention and deportation have shaped their families.” https://www.kut.org/crime-justice/2026-07-12/austin-tx-vigil-lorenzo-salgado-araujo-ice-shooting-houston

James Talarico: “Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE.

His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook.

Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.”

“Without complete and prompt access to relevant unredacted records held by the United States Department of Justice (‘USDOJ’), survivors of serious criminal conduct at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico are being denied justice,” Torrez writes. “Every day that the USDOJ withholds these records, the foundation upon which a New Mexico prosecution could be built erodes. Witnesses relocate and become unreachable.”

"The measure already passed in a bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives in late March. That would allow the hundreds of thousands of Haitians on the brink of losing their status from being deported back to Haiti, a country that Trump’s own State Department warns Americans to not visit because of the violence."

“New Mexico officials are accusing President Trump’s Department of Justice of obstructing the state’s investigation into billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ranch.”

What is the regime hiding?

“ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in our community. Then his family had to find out through the news and social media,” she continued. “That is cruel. That is unacceptable. And DHS and ICE do not get to investigate themselves behind closed doors and call it accountability.”

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

“You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes. You have dreams that no one has the right to despise,” Pope Leo told migrants last month.
