  1. “It’s more the rule than the exception that people generally are not given their stuff back,” says Graham Ojala-Barbour, a Minneapolis immigration attorney. “As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.”

  2. @mayorwu.boston.gov's speech was incredibly inspiring, and her message was exactly what Boston's immigrant community needed to hear. A truly powerful display of leadership against oppression, as Boston always stands up for what is right! #MichelleWu #ImmigrantRights #Boston #Massachusetts #USPol

  3. #Maine is standing firm on #HumanRights!

    The Maine Human Rights Act Guarantees...

    Equal Employment Rights

    - The RIGHT to freedom from discrimination in employment.
    - The opportunity for an individual to secure employment without discrimination… is declared to be a CIVIL RIGHT.

    The #MaineHumanRightsAct prohibits discrimination because of race, color, sex, #SexualOrientation, age, physical or mental disability, genetic pre-disposition, religion, ancestry or national origin.

    The Maine Human Rights Act also prohibits discrimination because of filing a claim or asserting a right under the Worker’s Comp Act or retaliation under the Whistleblower’s Act.

    Unlawful Employment Discrimination

    - For any employer to fail or refuse to hire an applicant
    - For any employer to discharge an employee
    - For any employer to discriminate against an employee with respect to recruitment, tenure, promotion, transfer, or compensation
    - For any employment agency to fail or refuse to classify properly or refer for employment an applicant
    - For any labor organization to exclude from apprenticeship or membership an applicant
    - For any employer, employment agency, or labor organization prior to employment or admission to membership of an individual to ask questions, keep as record, use application form, issue any notice, employ a quota system
    - For any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to retaliate against a person who has opposed a violation of the Maine #HumanRightsAct because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, genetic pre-disposition, religion, ancestry or national origin or because of asserting a claim under the Worker’s Comp Act or Whistleblower’s Act."

  5. The world needs more RM Browns out there making politicians look like the clowns that they are. Like Francis Suarez who didn't know what a Uyghur was when he was on Hugh Hewitt's show, but when he had enough time to look it up and tweet about it...duh of course THOSE Uyghurs. Just watch the video.
