ICE and other federal agencies continue to escalate violence against communities across the country under Trump's second presidency with immigration agencies killing at least seven people in our communities, including Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Their deaths adds to the growing and deadly toll of federal immigration enforcement, with at least 6 deaths in ICE detention in January 2026 and 31 deaths in ICE custody in 2025, an all-time high.

This webinar will focus on detention under Trump and how communities have been resisting including in Kansas and California.
