Our @HigherEdLabor siblings join us to say "Bring Germán Home!"
During HELU's "Against the AI Campus" conference last weekend, participants took a break to show solidarity with UUP member Germán Machado, a SUNY Brockport IT worker who has been detained by ICE without cause.
UUP mourns the loss of Dolores Huerta, the trailblazing labor leader and civil rights crusader who co-founded the @UFWupdates union and gave a voice to the voiceless agricultural workers who grow and harvest crops on America’s farms.

Thank you, @GovKathyHochul, for continuing to push for the release of UUP Brockport member German Machado.
I spoke with Secretary Mullin this evening about the recent ICE arrests of Dian Zhao Lin and German Machado.
I want their families to know that I’m doing everything in my power to bring their loved ones home.
I’m encouraged by the Secretary’s willingness to engage, and I’ll continue pushing for their swift return.
UUP strongly opposes proposed legislation by the Albany Common Council to pursue state approval to exact an earnings tax on nonresident workers who travel to Albany.

Thank you, Congressman Morelle, for speaking up in support of UUP member German Machado, a Brockport UUP member who is being detained by DHS without cause.
German Machado is a hardworking SUNY Brockport employee who came to America seeking safety. He has a valid work permit, has built a life here, and has spent nearly 10 years waiting for his asylum case to be heard. Yet Trump’s ICE agents took him into custody outside his home.
This is outrageous. In Rochester, we believe in hard work, treating people fairly, and looking out for our neighbors. We don’t tear families apart or punish people for seeking a better life. German deserves due process, his family deserves answers, and I’m calling for his release.

UUP retweeted
German Machado is a SUNY Brockport employee, a @uupinfo member and a father who deserves to be home with his family. His family fled Venezuela, applied for asylum in 2016 and has spent nearly a decade waiting for their case to be heard.
@nysut has fought hard to protect our members and students, and we will continue to stand with German and our UUP siblings in demanding due process and his immediate release.
