ICE Raids in Austin: Activists rally after "unprecedented" immigration enforcement actions

AUSTIN, Texas – Local activists were standing up and fighting back in Austin after ongoing rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the city were confirmed Friday. 

Per KVUE, ICE detained 44 Mexican immigrants in Austin since Thursday — an "unprecedented" level of enforcement, according to local immigration advocates.

Protests formed Thursday and Friday evening outside the J.J. Pickle Federal Building in downtown Austin, where ICE was reportedly processing detainees, according to the Texas Observer. 

Another protest was held in North Austin near where a public ICE arrest took place Friday morning, documented in a viral video by El Mundo.

A 15 minutes drive from the town of Siddapur in, “The Scotland of India”, Coorg is a coffee estate called Mubarak Estate owned by Mr Ahmed Kutty (second person from left along with my dad in the picture below) has a garage full of vintage cars!

A garage which is surrounded by lush green coffee estate

Yes, you would be surprised to find cars like Tata Estate, HM Contessa and two wheelers like Rajdoot, Bajaj Sunny and Chetak. But would the fact that they are all out of production and have a few enthusiasts make them vintage? Well, if you ask me then yes! I don’t find them on roads and seeing them under one roof really excites me!

Here is his treasury:

and a few which are being redone so that it can find its place in the league

And then I find this! A nostalgic old banner of his (which has a young Mr Kutty with one of his proud possessions) that I remember passing by in Siddapur when his cars were kept for display free of cost. Now they charge Rs. 100 per person and another 100 for the camera, but totally worth it!

It was my love for cars that took me there but I’ve gotta admit that it is his passion and love for cars that made me fall in love with this place!
