Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.
You’re so welcome. I was glad to see a petition and a legal challenge because it allowed me to put some concrete ways we can help him into the article!
Those of us who are disabled need to stick together and make our plights heard. Because this administration clearly views us as “less than,” which is not only insulting but debilitating. The fact that ICE can hold a double amputee without proper medical oversight of his condition is beyond abhorrent. Get this man the help and the dignity he needs and deserves. We do not, or should not at the very least, treat people worse than we treat animals in this country.

Sometimes if the page gets too many requests it will glitch. Try posting the link below it might help to copy paste it on server.
It's scary how saturated we are with stories like Rodney's and to think of how many may be slipping through the cracks. Appreciate you shedding light on some of them. Keep up the good work.
Double amputee being held by Gestapo. Imagine having all your limbs and being held by them for a long while in the internment camps and all the profits the prisons make while they charge the prisoners extraordinarily high amounts to make calls, shower and eat and all this going into little macabre Stevie’s pickets.
Thank you for spreading the word. Ice Monsters! Ice Thugs isn’t strong enough anymore, not for these non-humans. They wear masks to avoid accountability for their monstrous behavior. Allowing them to hide their identities has the same effect as their acting in groups — letting them commit sadistic acts without their families and neighbors being aware of the monsters in their midst. Because if it were known who they are, they would be shunned (at a minimum) by their communities. If they thought they could get away with this shit…so did the Nazis. Most of them didn’t.
Thank you so much for boosting this and sharing ways to get involved.

Yes! I’m glad there’s already a push for his release. I signed and shared the petition. Hopefully we get the numbers up!
Cruel inhumane and lawless.
Absolutely. I’m so glad he’s filing a legal challenge and I sincerely hope he wins.
You said the magic word: laws. May be cruel but it is the law

Exactly. Unfortunately this regime is deeply eugenicist and disabled people make easy targets.
There should be accommodations, but we all know that what should happen is very different from what IS happening.
We must stick together and rally for our community because no one else is coming to save us.
Yes!
Is there any way to donate?
Yes you can donate through change.org which is linked near the end of the article. Thank you for helping!
Signed and donated. Thank you for sharing this important story
Sad but not surprised they are now going after Africans or persons of African-American origins.
Yeah it’s sadly predictable. As is the lack of accommodations for his disability. They don’t care if he dies. Which is why we must get him released.
Signed and donated. Thank you for sharing this important story.
How/where did you donate? I’ve had some other readers asking. And thank you!

He was arrested for breaking and entering at 16. How do you break into a place when you’re in a wheelchair?
Sending love.
This is heartbreaking.
