There are so many more.
There are so many people missing from Alligator Alcatraz.
What we saw happen in Minneapolis last week is horrendous.
And, you know, the same way that Albero, who...
I am part of this team trying to help get him out of detention.
He did nothing wrong.
He has had no criminal activity.
There was nothing to warrant the excuse that he must be detained or treated violently.
It's the same as how Renee did nothing wrong and nothing to deserve being murdered.
He was witnessing.
He was witnessing and being there for her neighbors and
And she was sitting there in her car, and that is what we know.
But her murder, the same way that these raids and everything going on, it's an escalation tactic used by ICE that's part of deep-rooted, old-school fascist and authoritarian measures to test what they can get away with.

So that being said, to get into what happened to Albero and his wife,

you know, I want to be really explicit that this person is a father, a husband, who has other family members here who look up to him, who he is a father figure or an uncle to.
He is a community figure and a leader.
After he was taken, you know, I was told by a family friend who is part of the team that I'm working with.
