I got to Selma around 11 a.m. and started walking up the Edmund Pettus Bridge. One of the very first people I saw was Annie Pearl Avery. She was in a wheelchair, coming down the incline of the bridge. She was arrested right there in 1965 during the civil rights movement.

At the top of the bridge, Black Voters Matter members were holding a massive banner. There was no chanting or shouting. People just walked slowly, completely focused. The march was part of the “All Roads Lead to the South” campaign, a response to the recent Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court ruling and redrawn voting maps in Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

Seeing the bridge used this way showed how little has changed; the fight for the Voting Rights Act is now being carried by a new generation. After the march, everyone gathered at the base of the bridge to listen to speakers. Hearing Annie Pearl Avery speak about her 1965 arrest on that exact ground really tied the whole day together. Organizers said this was just the beginning of a larger summer push for voter education and organizing across the South.

A good number of protesters gathered outside the events center in West Palm Beach on Friday evening, where President Trump was scheduled to speak.

The group, organized by Palm Beach Indivisible, stood near the Kravis Center as local police and federal agents secured the area. The strong security presence followed a recent incident in Washington, D.C., where someone tried to break into a major political event targeting members of the president’s administration.

As the start of the event approached, police moved protesters farther away, across Okeechobee Boulevard. Officials said they were creating a secure perimeter around the venue. Helicopters were also seen flying overhead.

A small group of counter-protesters was also present near the area, and at times there were moments of tension between both sides. Police remained between the groups to keep things from escalating.

Protesters held signs and showed them to drivers passing by during the busy evening traffic.

Miami is the Home to one of the largest Haitian communities in the United States, Miami-Dade is at the center of what's happening with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on April 29, 2026, the future of TPS remains uncertain, with a final decision expected by June 2026.

Right now, TPS protections are still in place due to ongoing court orders-but that could change depending on the ruling.

As the case moves toward the Supreme Court, the outcome is expected to have implications not only for Haitians but for more than a million TPS holders from multiple countries who rely on the program to remain legally in the U.S.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the federal government, TPS protections for an estimated 350,000 Haitians could be at risk of ending, potentially disrupting families, workplaces, and entire communities across the country.

For now, families wait caught between temporary protection and an uncertain legal future that will soon be decided at the highest court in the country.

At the protest, families, workers, and community members shared their fears and demands: safety, stability, and the right to remain in a country they've helped build for years

They are among the longest held families there, enduring what they describe as mentally and physically devastating conditions alongside hundreds of others still inside facing the same reality.

Reports describe food contaminated with worms and mold, drinking water causing illness, and lights kept on 24/7, depriving children of sleep.

Medical care is delayed or denied, including critical medications for conditions like anxiety and autism. In early 2026, a 13 year old girl attempted suicide after being denied her medication during a lockdown.

Families are crowded into small trailers—sometimes up to 12 people in a single space with no privacy. Detainees also report punitive measures, including guards destroying children’s drawings and using threats of family separation as a form of control.

This facility is operated by CoreCivic under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a system where detention is not just policy, but business. Private ownership means companies are paid to keep beds full, turning the confinement of families into profit, and raising urgent questions about the ethics of profiting from human suffering.

We traveled to Los Angeles to document the national “Fuck ICE” day of protest outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown LA. What began as a powerful and unified demonstration quickly escalated as tensions rose between protesters and law enforcement. Demonstrators gathered to demand accountability and call for an end to immigration policies they view as unjust and inhumane, filling the streets with chants, signs, and a palpable sense of urgency.

As the day unfolded, the atmosphere shifted. Police presence intensified, and confrontations began to emerge, transforming the protest into a tense standoff. Despite the aggressive response, protesters remained steadfast, refusing to back down and continuing to make their voices heard.

Through it all, we documented the raw energy of the moment the defiance, the fear, and the resilience of a community standing up for what they believe in. These images and stories capture not just a protest, but a larger movement driven by the people

We traveled to Los Angeles to document the national

"Fuck ICE" protest outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Downtown LA. What began as a powerful demonstration of resistance quickly escalated as protesters were met with an aggressive response from law enforcement. Tensions rose, but so did the determination of those in the streets demanding accountability and an end to the policies enforced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

These are some of the moments we captured on the ground - raw, unfiltered, and real.

We met Kate at the No Kings 3 Protest in Austin, Texas where she parked her mobile immigration office and allowed us aboard to ask her about her work. She’s spent 20 years working with asylum seekers navigating the harshest immigration policies, is the founder of Lincoln-Goldfinch Law and travels to events advocating for the rights of immigrants.

In a world where it seems like there are so many people who don’t care or actively cheer on cruelty, it is comforting to know professionals like Kate exist while injecting so much joy and kindness in the work they do.

An attorney and founder of Abundance Law PLLC, Vice President of Justice and Advocacy at the Austin Urban League, a Public Safety Commissioner in Austin, and above all, a servant of the people.

From feeding folks on the streets as a child to now answering every call with “how may I serve you?” her work shows up where it matters most: supporting unhoused neighbors, single mothers and families navigating crisis.

In a time of growing injustice, she reminds us what it means to stand with community, push for change, and get into “good trouble.”

Austin, Texas voices like hers continue to lead with purpose, compassion, and action.

These conditions are indicative of the lack of humanity the immigration system in the United States adopts, while the majority of people who are now being imprisoned in these concentration camps are innocent, the actual criminals of the highest order who control the system walk free.

Police were called onto the scene to investigate a shooting and were informed by a witness that the alleged shooter was Rafael Martinez.

At some point during the response, officers approached the vehicle of Edilberto Espinoza-Sierra - not the person they were looking for - and gave a command for the vehicle to stop before opening fire on him and killing him.

On Saturday March 14th, the family and friends of Edilberto gathered along with local activists during a protest to demand justice for Edilberto. They are calling on the community to attend the next town hall meeting on March 24th at 6:30pm to pack the room and join them in their demands for justice.

A moment like this not only deserves accountability, but solidarity of the community surrounding. Share and amplify if you can so that Edilberto’s story and the demand for justice can be heard as loud as possible.

The march called for accountability for the abuse and mistreatment of immigrant communities, the unchecked power of ICE, and the actions of the administration impacting people across the country.

From the streets to the gates of power, the message was clear: the people are watching, the people are organizing, and the people are demanding justice.

Gabriela entered the United States legally in 2023 through the federal humanitarian parole program created for Venezuelans fleeing one of the largest displacement crises in the Western Hemisphere. More than eight million people have left Venezuela in recent years. The program was meant to offer a lawful path for some of them to enter the country safely.

The U.S. government approved her travel authorization. She flew to Miami. Immigration officers inspected her and formally paroled her into the country.

Gabriela Lozano entered the United States through a program designed to provide safe passage to people fleeing a humanitarian disaster.

Today she sits in a jail cell while courts argue over whether the government can treat her as if she had just arrived at the border.

Five months have already passed.

FIVE MONTHS IN ICE DETENTION

There is a particular kind of cruelty that only bureaucracies can invent. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t threaten. It simply checks the wrong box on a form and then calmly insists the system is working exactly as designed…

She addressed the mistreatment of people in detention, racial profiling by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the urgent need for accountability and humane policies. As an educator she shared how her lived experience helps her better understand the fears, struggles, and resilience of immigrant families throughout Florida — and why that perspective matters in leadership.

The conversation was conducted by Arianne Betancourt, who is currently fighting for her father’s freedom while continuing to stand up for Hispanic and immigrant communities across the United States
