There have been multiple reports of pets being left trapped and at risk of dying after ICE abducted their owners. A woman in Texas used http://PAXIS.app

to help rescue her neighbor’s dog when she and other neighbors could not access his apartment after he was taken.

PAXIS: If ICE takes someone and leaves their pets locked inside, do not wait for the ICE detainee locator. It may take hours or days for someone to appear, and an animal without water, medication or ventilation may not have that long.

If a trusted person has a key and prior permission to enter, get the pets to safety immediately. Photograph their condition and take their food, medication, veterinary information and proof of ownership, if available.

If nobody can legally enter, call local animal control. Explain that the owner was detained and animals are trapped inside. Request an urgent welfare check and lawful emergency access. Call 911 if a pet faces imminent danger.

If the pets enter a shelter, request a temporary protective hold, not surrender or adoption. Provide the owner’s information, any available proof of detention and a family contact. Then arrange temporary care through relatives, friends or a trusted rescue.

PAXIS helps you plan lawfully for ICE encounters and their aftermath. Help keep it free for all immigrants and allies: http://GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

They hassle innocent people, fuck everything up, and then leave. They are heartless people, drunk on their own power.

This country needs different standards for ICE and police. Tear it down and start over and interject some basic decency in who they place in these jobs.
