"Finally getting released, being freed, and coming back home... it's simply an undescribable feeling."

-Shakoure Pascal Charpentier 

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12th, 2021. U.S. citizen, Shakoure P. Charpentier, was released from Bergen County Jail after 7-months of ICE detention spurred by the agency's unwritten but disturbing policy to deport as many people of color as possible, including African-American citizens who have been raised, rooted, and productively established in this country for decades.
