ICE omnibus May 11: Rodney Taylor — double amputee barber, came to US at age 2, 473 days in ICE over a pardoned teenage conviction — speaks publicly for the first time today. NBER study: every 6 ICE arrests cost one US-born man his job; 4% chilling effect on remaining immigrants. A Florida man called 911 for his sick daughter and ended up detained; 76% of DV clients afraid to call police. 53 SC lawmakers sponsored ICE bill; not one explained it.

20 members of Congress are finally speaking out for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s now spent more than a year in an ICE camp.
He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they detained him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics, placed in solitary & his health is declining.
Please make noise for Rodney. He’s suffered for so long.
It’s time to get him out.

Rodney Taylor was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.
He’s been detained for more than 8 months.
They won’t allow him to get his new legs & put him in solitary confinement.
He needs the disability community’s help!
His petition just hit 3,000… keep it going!
I want to thank everyone who’s shared the article and/or signed the petition.
It was at 2500 when I published and my heart soared today when I saw it hit 3,000.
Public pressure works. We can make a difference in Rodney’s life.
Let’s keep fighting. Keep making noise. Keep demanding his release:

“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination.
People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

I’ve followed @broadwaybabyto for years. She has fewer articles lately due to more medical issues, but I read them via email subscription. This story I do hear from time to time but she wrote about it and I got it today. This link I copied has the last part of the tracker from S_S_stripped out https://open.substack.com/pub/disabledginger/p/help-rodney-taylor-a-disabled-double

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January.
He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.
His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon.
His parents brought him to the US when he was only two years old.
He needed better medical care than what he could receive in Liberia.
He’s been in the country almost 50 years and had permanent residency.
He’s got a family, a fiancé and owned a thriving barber shop where he was considered a staple within his community.
When ICE grabbed him he was only a day away from receiving new prosthetic legs, but they’ve not been willing to let him go and get them.
As a result his health has declined.
He was unable to make it to meals and had other detainees bringing him food.
Now he’s in solitary confinement waiting to hear if a judge will grant his request to remain in the US or send him back to Liberia.
This is cruel and unusual.
He did nothing wrong. He went through the proper channels. The “crime” he committed was over thirty years ago and the state of Georgia granted him a pardon
This is not someone who’s a danger. He paid taxes, employed others & gave back to his community
His story is getting dreadfully little media attention, though a local Atlanta public station has been trying to raise awareness.
There was a protest outside the Atlanta immigration office yesterday to demand his release.
Disabled lives are not valued.
We all know this.
It’s one of the reasons we must stand together and fight for one another.
The judge will rule by the end of the month in Rodney’s case, and in the meantime he needs all the public support we can give him.
He should also have access to proper disability accommodations while he’s being detained.
There’s no reason to destroy what’s left of his health, especially if he might be deported back to a country where his fiancé says he won’t survive.
Justice for Rodney and abolish ICE

A few days ago I shared the story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman from Macon Georgia who was a whistleblower against the atrocities committed in ICE detention facilities.
She’s currently being detained again, likely due to retaliation for speaking out.
I also spoke of Rodney Taylor, a double amputee who was taken by ICE two days before he was set to get new prosthetics. The medical neglect he’s enduring at the hands of ICE is unfathomable.
We must tell their stories.
Disabled people are at higher risk of dying in these awful facilities, and the conditions within the detention centres will also lead to more people becoming disabled.
No one deserves to be treated this way.
Let’s speak up. Say their names. Help get them released.
And remember, don’t shame disabled people who are unable to protest. For many of us it’s not safe and we lack the physical ability to be boots on the ground. We can still contribute in our own way, and every voice matters.
