The headlines are bad, but “There’s still hope,” says Immigration Equality, and ways that U.S. citizens can help.

The U.S. cannot disappear people into foreign prisons to avoid the Constitution. @IEquality and a coalition of legal and human rights orgs just filed a major lawsuit to stop the Trump admin’s secretive, unlawful agreement with El Salvador. Read more here: bit.ly/3FHkzz8

(3/4) The Trump administration’s orders block LGBTQI+ refugees from accessing asylum, and violate both U.S. law and recognition of international treaties. Our joint fact sheet documents these urgent cases and calls on U.S. leaders to act.
(2/4) Many who fled violence are now stranded in countries where they face persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Among them: 61 queer and trans refugees whose U.S. applications were approved, yet remain stuck in dangerous limbo.
(1/4) A new fact sheet from Human Rights First, @IEquality, Rainbow Railroad, @ORAMrefugee, and @Global_Equality documents how the Trump administration's recent executive orders have life-threatening consequences for LGBTQI+ refugees. bit.ly/4kLvBlM

We call on the Trump administration to bring Andry back, give him the due process he was denied, and prove his innocence in court. #DueProcess4All #FreeAndry #justiceforandry #BringThemBack

Thank you for speaking truth into Andry's name @RepBeccaB. Andry is not a threat to this country, he is an artist who sought safety in the U.S. In return he was put on a plane to ES' CECOT where he likely languishes as a gay man. 🚨Due process for all, NOT optics over evidence.

Reminder that this is Andry. He is a professional makeup artist from Venezuela. He has no criminal history. He has been in a theater troupe since he was 7 and loves pageants. His family is distraught and misses him. He is sitting in a cell in El Salvador tonight. #FreeAndry

Demand your legislators that they vote NO on the Defund Our Communities Act -- This is yet another dangerous, anti-immigrant bill that is being rushed through Congress. We must stop it NOW! If passed, it would harm ALL OF US. Here's how:
actionnetwork.org/letters/co…
Some programs that could lose funding include:
- School lunches and breakfast programs
- Domestic violence shelters
- Transportation projects
- Reimbursement of uncompensated care for hospitals
- FEMA funding for natural disasters
We cannot allow Congress to pass this anti-immigrant bill that harms all of us. We need your help. Please send a letter to your legislator NOW! actionnetwork.org/letters/co…
The Dream & Promise Act is a critical lifeline for LGBTQ youth protecting them from deportation to countries where they face mistreatment, including violence or death because of their HIV status.
Thank you, @RepSylviaGarcia, for re-introducing this bill. This is a step forward!
72% of Americans support Dreamers; it’s time for real solutions. Proud to have introduced the American Dream and Promise Act to protect Dreamers and ensure they have the stability they deserve. Congress must act now! #ProtectDreamers

Thanks to congressional leaders @RepRaskin, @PramilaJayapal, @SenatorDurbin, & @SenAlexPadilla for asking @Secrubio to restart refugee resettlement services & end the refugee ban. @SecRubio has long supported resettlement. More details in @politico:
