I hope this vigil is a reminder of the love that still exists, especially during times of extreme violence...we are powerful if we take care of ourselves and stand with each other. Tarishi was a beautiful soul and for the community to lose her is heart breaking."Asian-American Leaders Call for Compassion After Bangladesh Attack - NBC News

my article for NBC
"In the last six months, the detainees have been victims to civil rights violations," Gregory Cendana, executive director of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance said in a statement. "We have to keep pressuring the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security in order to halt further deportations. We must see to it that these men find the justice they deserve and continue to fight the mass criminalization of our communities and all people of color."85 South Asian Men Deported Following Start of #Deported2Death Campaign - NBC News

Advocates Concerned Bangladeshi Asylum Seekers May Be #Deported2Death - NBC News
my article for NBC Asian America
"I left Bangladesh and traveled across a dozen countries to escape political repression and save my life," Jahed Ahmed, an asylum seeker and DRUM member, said in a statement. "Instead, I ended up rotting away in detention for over 10 months. The U.S. government gave the names of many of the detainees to the Bangladeshi government, and they then leaked them to the media. Our asylum cases and hunger strikes have become a political issue for the Bangladeshi government, and now the Obama Administration wants to deport me back to where I will be disappeared, tortured or killed."Advocates Concerned Bangladeshi Asylum Seekers May Be #Deported2Death - NBC News
