Later this month, I’m hosting a registration-only update on all ICE detainee labor cases. It’ll be free to paid subscribers and formerly incarcerated folks, and $5-$20 on a sliding scale for everyone else. Look for a link to that event very soon.

If you find this work to be of value, please consider subscribing, or upgrading your subscription. That’s what makes it possible.
