EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE - 4 PM, OUTSIDE OF TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL, 500 W 10TH ST. AUSTIN, TX

Speaking out for our immigrant neighbors is not a crime. Misael has always shown up for our community, and now we need to show up for him.
EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE - 4 PM, OUTSIDE OF TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL, 500 W 10TH ST. AUSTIN, TX This morning around 8:50 AM, Misael Ramos, Austin DSA-endorsed candidate for City Council District 1, was arrested by state troopers while walking his dog. His neighbors watched as troopers, many in unmarked vehicles, detained him wihtout ever showing a warrant. He is now being held at Travis County Jail on a misdemeanor charg that his campaign believes is tied to his participation in the protests after ICE agents shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a delivery driver in North Austin, last weekend. Speaking out for our immigrant neighbors is not a crime. Misael has always shown up for our community, and now we need to show up for him.

Austin DSA unequivocally condemns the ICE shooting of a man in North Austin earlier today. We stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and recall that an injury to one is an injury to all. The situation is still unfolding, however we demand a full, fair, and LOCAL investigation into the event in order to ensure at a minimum that justice is delivered for the victim and their family. Join us at 8121 Research Blvd until 7 PM for a spontaneous protest and vigil against yet another instance of ICE and police violence.
