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.
Immigration Equality retweeted
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

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:

Dem Senators: Please read the Laken Riley bill. It is not a border bill. It lets Ken Paxton and local state judges guide immigration policy.
Immigration Equality retweeted
This is not a simple public safety vote, it’s a bill that upends standing doctrine in the constitution by giving states blanket standing to challenge federal immigration policy. If passed, a single state can block a president’s immigration actions, even if it doesn’t impact them.

Many LGBTQ+ asylum seekers are fleeing to the U.S.
@jdbalart introduces us to 3 people who were forced to leave their country and experienced abuse on the way to the U.S.

NEW: during #PrideMonth, we are highlighting how the Biden administration’s asylum bans & border policies strand LGBTQI+ refugees in danger & risk their wrongful return to persecution.

Since Biden’s asylum ban went into effect, LGBTQ+ asylum seekers have been put in danger & returned to persecution and torture. Each passing day, this policy causes preventable suffering. Add your name to tell Biden to end the asylum ban! tinyurl.com/action4asylum @humanrightsfirst

Anti-immigrant concessions are unacceptable and inhumane.🛑
Permanent policy changes in exchange for one-time foreign aid sets a dangerous precedent.
We call on @SenSchumer, @Senlaphonza, and all Senators to stand up for immigrant communities and safeguard asylum. #SaveAsylum
ALT Graphic reads: Permanent changes to asylum law must not be traded for one-time foreign aid. #SaveAsylum

The MAGA appetite for fearmongering and demonizing immigrants won't be satisfied even if Republicans get their extreme immigration plans passed.
@POTUS and Senate Democrats need to reject any supplemental package that trades anti-immigrant policy for war funding.

To @SenatorSinema and @SenateDems: We urge you to protect immigrant communities, keep families together, and #SAVEASYLUM! Refugee and immigrant lives are at stake.

Not only are the proposed Trump-era immigration policies cruel, they’re ineffective.
@DHSgov officials are warning that “It would break the border.”

Immigrants are people, migrant families are not bargaining chips, and claiming asylum is a human right.
Any policies that undermine these truths are unacceptable and a non-starter.
NEWS — The Biden administration has indicated to Congress that it's open to a new Title 42-like border authority to expel migrants without asylum screenings, as well as an expansion of immigration detention and deportations, to get GOP to back Ukraine aid.

Reports that @POTUS is considering Trump-era immigration policies are deeply concerning.
He campaigned on restoring our moral leadership—to cave to Republicans’ cruel demands to gut asylum and turn away refugees would fail to live up to that promise. reuters.com/world/us/white-h…

Everyone deserves the freedom and power to control their own bodies, regardless of their gender identity, zip code, income, or immigration status. Celebrate trans people and fight transphobia by dialing 211 to report hate. 🏳️⚧️ #TransDayofVisibility
