"Once in the fold, always in the fold" - Shut down the detention centers

       "Once in the fold, always in the fold". A phrase which has been said since the 1300's. This is the time, our watch as persons like myself who have always spoken in terms of WE sound a call to unite. I personally oppose any policy of isolation rather it be in healthcare, detention centers, jails & prisons, institutions or for any long term purpose. More should have spoken up during the Pandemic, those in authority and even us serving as lowly peons’ some of us did raise the right questions. This is not fu fu , hippy, nor church talk.  The "tears" of our brothers and sisters brown, yellow, black, white and in-between can be felt across the globe right now! These immigration detention centers being built faster than procedures are put into place filled to the brim with children, many innocents, and mostly persons not afforded a right to due process. In the United States of America this practice rather it be new, old or indicative of the Trump Reign have tipped the debate regarding a prison industrial complex to never again! This is the time to  throw defeatisms out of the campaign, to speak up & out, to act out and support our brothers, sisters and others regardless of age, regardless of age, regardless of nationality, Promises kept, promises broken are not our burden to bare but it is our watch to stand up right now not on revenge , not on retaliation but to stand for freedom and justice. To the door of that honorably built White House if WE the people must knock demanding rights on their behalf.

Too add God forbid that dreaded pandemic returns I will be one of many to stand up saying NO we shall not close down our churches ....again. Peace, love and solidarity with our brothers, sisters and others in faith.  - A.T. Yoda Brooks

O good shepherd, seek me out, and bring me home to thy fold again.
Deal favourably with me according to thy good pleasure,
till I may dwell in thy house all the days of my life,
and praise thee for ever and ever with them that are there.
(Jerome, c 342 - 420)

WE advocate for shutting down the below Immigrant Detention Centers by whatever tactics must be down following the peaceful legacy of MLK Jr. opposing the presidential administration (in 2025) as the spirit of Winston Churchill speeches of old would encourage the people from London to New York to Miami to 'fight back against these injustices in the hills' and in Florida 'fight back against these injustices in the swamps' with no fear!!!!

  • Krome North Service Processing Center (Krome): Located in Miami, it is a significant facility for immigration detention. 
  • Alligator Alcatraz: This new facility, located in the Everglades, is intended to expand bed space and support mass deportations.

O good shepherd, seek me out, and bring me home to thy fold again.
Deal favourably with me according to thy good pleasure,
till I may dwell in thy house all the days of my life,
and praise thee for ever and ever with them that are there.
