European Jews on Ellis Island protest against their deportation to Germany, 1936

via reddit

Don’t forget this part either. While the 1924 Immigration Act essentially cut off Jewish immigration to the U.S., further action by officials enforcing anti-immigrant law was a huge issue in the 1930s too. Being a refugee did not save you from deportation.

And the same thing is happening today with all the refugees from the west and south Asian, and Central and South American countries we’ve either destablized or aided in the destabilization of. We can’t let ICE and their minions deport these immigrants to be killed.

“Volver, volver,” by Elisa Chavez

¿Cuándo volverás a mi, amor?
Tus hijos te extrañan;
la niña llena el estómago,
esperando que casi trago
se parezca tu voz. En tu jaula,
disecan mis cartas y sacan
“besos,” “espero,” “tu propio.”
¿Cuándo volverás a mi, amor?
Tus nietos te extrañan.
Sin ti, tu hogar se ha marchitado
de los cimientos; los recuerdos
de treinta años hacen ecos como
fantasmas. Tu tierra te extraña:
añora los besitos de tus pies.

¿Cuándo volverás a mi, amor?
El amor es más fuerte que la ley.
¿Cuándo me cantarás “victoire,
victoire”? No soy yo sin ti, no puedo
florecer sin ti. ¿Cuándo nos
volveramos mejor, amor? ¿Cuándo
nos volveramos América?

I have c a r e f u l l y reviewed
your immigration history.
In addition, I have carefully
considered the assertions
made in your request for
a stay of r e m o v a l,
specifically the fact that you

are a primary caretaker of your
two U.S. citizen minor children.
You were granted the opportunity
to    d e p a r t   f r o m   the
U.S. of your own accord,
but have failed to do so.
You are currently categorized

as an ICE fugitive. Therefore,
favorable exercise of discretion
cannot be granted at this time.
Your application to stay
is therefore d e ni e d.
P l e a s e  b e  a d v i s e d
that there is n o appeal.

Si la migra aparecen en su puerta

  • no abras la puerta. Estate calmado. Usted tiene derechos.
  • Si piden entrar, pregunten si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.
  • Si dicen que lo tienen, piden verlo.
  • Una orden de administración de ICE (formulario 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a su hogar sin su consentimiento.
  • Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, usted puede negarse a dejarlos entrar
  • Si se fuerzan, no resistan. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.
  • Si usted es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado.

Yes, but as a note:

You must DECLARE AFFIRMATIVELY that you are invoking your right to remain silent!! If you just stay silent, you haven’t actually invoked the right. It’s an annoying legal thing, but you have to speak in order to stay silent. All you have to do is say “I am exercising my right to remain silent” (and then DO remain silent after that!).

That last bit is due to a somewhat recent Supreme Court decision.
