The Seattle-area labor movement is rallying in defense of immigrant members seized by the Trump regime.

Forklift driver Maximo Londonio and his family were on their way home from vacation in the Philippines—where he and his wife had celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary—when he was pulled aside at the airport, held there for days, then taken to a for-profit jail.

Londonio has a green card; he moved here from the Philippines when he was just a kid. His wife is a U.S. citizen; they have three daughters. And he’s a Machinist.

“Quite a lot of people in the shop are upset,” said Local Lodge 695 President Richard Howard.
