  Aleksander Nijal, founder and president of a Bronx food bank that feeds anywhere between 7,000 and 8,000 community members each month, was abducted by ICE while attending a court hearing. "The pantry said it will not be distributing food until Nijal's return, because they cannot handle the workload without him. They said if he does not return, the pantry will close indefinitely." https://bronx.news12.com/bronx-food-pantry-rallies-behind-founder-after-he-was-detained-by-ice

  ICE is quietly arresting more of our immigrant neighbors than ever according to latest data: "ICE has been touting record-high arrest numbers this summer—and they are not wrong. The daily rate of ICE arrests in June was over 1,300, the highest month of the Trump administration, and in July that number increased again to a record 1,474 arrests per day for the first 11 days for which we have data." https://austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-quietly-arresting-more-people
