“Can you please let people know we didn’t treat you like an animal?” That’s what an ICE agent asked King Trivv on his way out of Delaney Hall. What happened before that moment is a story he’s never told on TikTok, and it raises a hard question about who gets to walk out of these facilities and who doesn’t.
From making Vines in a group home to documenting ICE operations from Minneapolis to New York, Trivv also breaks down what organizing really looks like when the cameras are off, and what it takes to show up for the people these raids leave behind.
