"Closing Rikers and opening 4 new jails isnt a solution or improvement. It's just moving people from one cage to another. It'll always be a cage and it's still modern day slavery." #NoNewJailsNYC #CloseRikersNOW @PeoplesForumNYC

Once ICE agents are in @OpenOversight, anyone will be able to submit photographs of agents in uniform and connect specific agents to their actions (such as when an ICE agent separates a child from their family)

The identity of officers like the Customs and Border Protection agent that laughed at the cries of children separated from their parents should be public information. propublica.org/article/child…
