CATTY CHATS LIVE!

What do you do when government officials lie to their constituents?

You dig deep to the bottom of the box and expose them.

In New Jersey, ICE wasn’t supposed to be detaining people at a vacant warehouse in Roxbury – by court order. But when two activists with Morris ICE Rapid Response saw increased activity at the warehouse, they sprang into action, collecting photos and video. Thanks to the activists’ work, the New Jersey Attorney General’s office began looking into the report that a person detained by ICE on Sept. 4 was held at the Roxbury warehouse before being transferred elsewhere.

Hagerstown Rapid Response in Maryland has been reporting on the lies told by members of the Washington County Commissioners for months, first about a proposed 1,500-bed ICE detention center near Williamsport. Now, they’re exposing collusion (and a sketchy non-disclosure agreement) between the commission and a data center developer. What has the commission told the public about the detention center and data centers? Not much.

Activists from both organizations joined us this Sunday, Oct. 18, on Catty Chats Live to update us on the fight where they live and to inspire us to speak up and claw back in our own hometowns. Watch Catty Chats Live every Sunday at 7p eastern on Substack, YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook, catch the reply on those platforms or audio version wherever you get podcasts.
