🗽 Across the Nation 🗽

🛑 Communities Fight Back Against Immigration Enforcement
As the federal government’s mass deportation campaign continued to escalate through late 2025, ordinary Americans mobilized to protect immigrants and resist enforcement raids. Across multiple cities, residents banded together to block operations, distribute groceries, and stand in solidarity with those targeted by federal agents — demonstrating that community resistance can and will persist.

📍 Federal Accountability & Civil Liberties Spotlighted
National reporting has highlighted that 2025 was one of the deadliest years in decades for people in ICE custody, underscoring the deadly cost of intensified enforcement and the urgent need for transparency and oversight.

📢 Policy Battles in Congress
On Capitol Hill and in federal policy forums, lawmakers pressed top administration officials on enforcement abuses and immigration policy missteps. These debates have fueled activism nationwide — from protests outside committee hearings to grassroots petitions demanding accountability and humane alternatives.

🛑 What You Can Do Nationally:
👉 Support legal advocacy groups challenging enforcement abuses in court.
👉 Amplify stories from impacted families and frontline organizers.
👉 Stay tuned for early‑2026 national mobilizations calling for an end to federal deportation tactics.
