“That is 100% illegal,” said @adam_wola. “These are people who may face a danger to their lives on the other side of the border. Forcing them back, especially if they have set foot on U.S. soil, goes against the Refugee Act of 1980.” #WelcomeWithDignity
Members of the Texas National Guard ordered hundreds of asylum-seekers from U.S. territory back into Mexico in apparent violation of U.S. law. elpasotimes.com/story/news/2…

"Examining the U.S. immigration system’s impact on Black immigrants & meaningfully addressing systemic, anti-Black racism is a start. Establishing a White House Taskforce on Black Migration and adequately [funding] this effort is equally necessary" -@Haddy_Ja2 & Anika Forrest.
As we approach 2 years since the horrors against Haitian migrants in #DelRio, FCNL's Anika Forrest & @UndocuBlack's Haddy Gassama remind us that we can't continue "overlook, undercount, and/or willfully erase" the plight of Black immigrants.

Rather than more policies that punish migrant families for seeking asylum, we call on the administration to uphold and protect the human rights of all people seeking safety.

📣 The White House is requesting from Congress more than 2 billion additional dollars for DHS to fund, among other things, new and misleadingly named “community-based residential centers” that would essentially reinstate family detention. #DefundHate

“Why put ppl in detention for a simple documentation issue that could be resolved by a desk appearance? There should be #NoDetention, period. Detention destroys families & affects the very fabric of our communities,” shared @johannesfavi in @POGOwatchdog

TOMORROW! Join us at a rally to show our support for the Aston, DC's newest non-congregate shelter.
Neighbors are spending $20,000/month in legal fees to stop a needed shelter from opening.
Join with us to make sure our people power beats their money power.
Neighbors are lawyering up to stop a needed shelter from coming to Foggy Bottom. So we're speaking up to support it.
Join us next Wed.

While the floating wall is part of Abbott’s right-wing fear-fueled border operations, it is also a product of the broader border buildup in the United States.

It's Juneteenth, so we asked our staff how liberation and faith are connected to them especially while living in a Black existence in America.
Here's what Whitney Walker, our Mid-Atlantic Regional Director had to say.
What is liberation to you?

Could not be more excited on the passage of the Street Vendors Advancement Act today. Congrats to the vendors who advocated tirelessly for YEARS to make this happen. Model civic engagement and proof that residents can profoundly influence the legislative process.
