UPDATE: 6/9
In light of the ICE raid on Saturday (6/7), we swiftly mobilized, urging county law enforcement to not participate in the 287(g) ICE program. Sheriff Reynolds reached out this morning (6/9) to clarify that the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office does NOT presently have a pending application to the federal 287(g) program. This comes as a huge relief to our community, and we appreciate him clearing this matter up.

Subsequently, we’re redirecting the 6/21 event to rally in solidarity with the Sunnyside community, same time 10AM-12PM – location TBD.

————————–

The afternoon of June 7 ICE raided Canton’s Sunnyside neighborhood with a fleet of dark unmarked cars and fully-masked federal agents. The images and videos are chilling. No warrants. No due process. Just shadowy para-military figures “disappearing” people. This wasn’t in another country across the world, this was in Canton – OUR community.

Fascism won’t be defeated by temerity. We need to be bold, loud, and firm in our resolve. Warrantless raids and indefinite detention isn’t acceptable in Cherokee, or anywhere.
