Today we joined a letter to local, state, and federal leaders demanding the release of ICE detainees from the Kaniyohi County Jail. There is a COVID-19 outbreak in the facility and they simply cannot keep people safe or healthy. Read the letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1BR…

The state of MN has failed to protect our immigrant neighbors from HUMAN RIGHTS and MEDICAL ETHICS violations against ICE detainees in Kandiyohi county. Thank you to the organizations fighting for health and justice. Our Stories. Our Health. No Cages MN ISAIAH ACLU of Minnesota MIRAC

MASS INCARCERATION MUST END, and until it does, MN officials must act NOW with: 1. Timely vaccine access for incarcerated people 2. Independent medical oversight of healthcare of all incarcerated people in MN. Minnesota Reformer minnesotareformer.com/2021/01/19/med…

In MN there is no centralized oversight of the medical care being provided to people in jail or prison which leads to substandard conditions and illnesses especially during a pandemic. It’s time we change that. ACLU of Minnesota The Advocates for Human Rights MN Immigrant Health Alliance

Please read, share, and sign of you agree. Latinx Minnesotans (similar to Black, Indigenous, and Asian immigrant communities) have died at a rate 6x higher than white Minnesotans and we have to make sure that they have urgent access to the vaccine. Thank you MN Doctors for Health Equity

En Minnesota, Las personas Latinx han murió 6x más frequente de COVID comparada al resto de los habitantes. Las reglas de Governor Tim Walz negan la vacuna a todos los trabajadores esenciales, y van a peorar esta disparidad. #VaccineEquity

Joe Biden has said migrants deserve equal access to the vaccine. But poor planning has meant barely any ICE detainees are getting it, despite their much, much higher coronavirus risk. I talked with detainees about what it's like to sit and wait for Covid. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

“President Biden just slammed the door on refugees. By saying he will abide by the historically and incredibly low limit for refugee admissions set by Trump, he has betrayed his promise." - Veena Iyer, Executive Director of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
