#scanner Police are keeping eyes on the area of the ICE building in anticipation of a protest there this afternoon.
Rally at 2 PM in front of the Philly ICE office demanding ICE stop opening new detention centers and free our remaining community members detained at York County Prison. Transfers further separate loved ones from their support networks and legal representation, especially if they are transferred out of region. This is especially harmful to those who have families and are no longer able to see their children. FREE THEM ALL!

#scanner When asked for an update from the Inspector, a unit replied that the eviction was "slow-rolling" and that they're trying to get people to move, but "not everyone is in line." Inspector replied "Alright, speed it up. They won't be in line, just move 'em."
#scanner Units requested to 1800 block of Lehigh to block traffic in relation to the detail
#OTG The people being evicted from Kenzington and Allegheny are only being allowed to keep what they can carry. Everything else left unattended is being thrown away by police and city workers. Trash and cleaning trucks have just pulled up to Kenzington and Allegheny.
