“At the end of the day, [ICE] caused a complete upheaval of an entire community in one state, and everyone else is left to pick up the pieces.” This is the story of the brutal aftermath of an ICE raid.
The impact of raids like the one that took place Wednesday extend far beyond one single, chaotic day. Ginny Kramer, a public defender in Mississippi, was one of dozens of attorneys who took part in a volunteer effort to provide legal support to families who had loved ones arrested by ICE. Kramer spoke to Jezebel about the chaos and confusion in the aftermath of the raids and what families need moving forward.
Many of the people were there because either their husband had been detained, or their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, neighbors who didn’t have family and essentially hadn’t come home from work, so they assumed the worst. Some of these people weren’t of legal status either so they were essentially stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to figure out what to do.A lot of them were wondering if we knew where their family members were, and the answer is no.
Many of them were worried about the health needs of the people that were detained. Some of the detainees were given about two minutes each to make a phone call over the past couple of days to someone, and usually that was a really quick phone call just to say, “I love you. Tell the kids I’m okay. And here’s the information I have so far.
