In this critical broadcast, we sit down with Mildred Pierre, the fiancée and tireless advocate of Rodney Taylor. Rodney is a beloved Gwinnett County barber, a father of seven, and a double amputee who has lived in the U.S. for over 40 years. In January 2024, Rodney was snatched by ICE. Despite a 2010 pardon for a teenage conviction, the state is attempting to deport him to Liberia—a country he has not seen since he was two years old. We discuss the harrowing reports of medical neglect at the Stewart Detention Center, his time in solitary confinement, and the community-led struggle to bring him home. 📌 Call to Action: Help Bring Rodney Taylor Home Rodney Taylor has spent over a year in ICE detention despite being a Georgia-pardoned double amputee. His health is declining, and his family needs him. We are calling on our community to flood the offices of our elected officials with demands for his immediate release on humanitarian grounds.
