Read Souleymane's story and those of 18 other people who were released due to our litigation against ICE during the pandemic. https://t.co/YGmE5IdwYO — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
Even though Souleymane and others like him have complied with ICE's terms of release, ICE still has not agreed to allow him and others to remain free once the pandemic ends. He lives in constant uncertainty. — PolitiTweet.org

"I'm so scared of what will happen when this is all over," he told us. "11 years and I'm in the same situation. I don't know what else to do. All I want is to get legal status so I can take care of my wife and daughters. I just want to be free and have a better life." — PolitiTweet.org

Four months later, Souleymane was released due to litigation we filed with @ACLUofIL. He's happy to be home with his family, but can no longer work due to an ankle monitor ICE now makes him wear. This arbitrary detention — during a pandemic — lost Souleymane his livelihood. — PolitiTweet.org

At the peak of the pandemic, ICE wasn't providing masks or sanitizer in detention. It even required people to pay for their own soap. Souleymane has pre-existing conditions, and was terrified of contracting COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

In February 2020, Souleymane was in the middle of his workday as an Uber driver, when he reported for his check-in. He left his car in the parking lot, thinking this would be a quick trip like usual. But ICE detained him. — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
His application for asylum was denied several years ago, but ICE was unable to secure travel documents to deport him to Mali. So they released him to live with his family instead, asking him to regularly check in with ICE. Souleymane did this for almost a decade. — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
Souleymane came to the US 11 years ago because his life was in danger in his home country of Mali. His wife is a lawful permanent resident, and he has three daughters — all of whom are US citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Meet Souleymane. He's one of the immigrants released from ICE detention because of our COVID-19 litigation. https://t.co/ReaR2aWKGM — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Williams was arrested and held for 30 hours by Detroit police because — in their own words — “the computer got it wrong.” Face recognition tech had turned up a false match. Watch what happens when the police get their hands on this flawed, dangerous technology. https://t.co/ZzNggyHBt3 — PolitiTweet.org

In 1956, we went to court to defend people arrested for acting "lewd and dissolute" at Hazel's Inn, a gay bar in San Fransisco. This was the earliest of many actions we've taken in response to police violence toward LGBTQ people that continues today. Let's recap some recents ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org
