In the early hours of the morning, ICE comes.

They arrive at homes and businesses, pulling people from their lives. Parents. Workers. Neighbors. The targets are often long-time residents—some without legal standing, yes, but many with temporary protections or pending cases. Some were even given visas under specialized programs.

Take the Cubans. For decades, they had a clear path to legal status under the Cuban Adjustment Act. That’s gone now.

Or the Haitians—500,000 people with Temporary Protected Status, now told to pack up and leave.

Or Mexicans, who are facing targeted round-ups in neighborhoods across the country by masked men with no warrants. We are getting reports that children are being held without enough water and food, that citizens are being caught in the net. The cruelty is accelerating.

It’s been just over 100 days into this new administration—and already, the impact is undeniable.

Masked agents are arresting people off the streets. Protesters and immigrants are being detained or deported without access to lawyers or constitutional protections. The headlines are chaotic, but the harm is precise. Civil rights are being stripped. Budgets for public education and health care slashed. Tariffs have driven up the cost of groceries. Rents are rising. Housing is out of reach for many. And the safety nets we’ve relied on are shrinking before our eyes.

In the middle of all this, Black and Brown women are being targeted—not just in policy, but in principle. Our leadership is under attack. Our labor is being erased. Our wins are being undermined.

But let’s be clear: we matter.
