500 people detained at largest ICE detention center (for which the govt just gave private corp GEO Group $47mil contract) are on hunger strike to protest prolonged detention & filthy conditions. Some detained for months or years awaiting hearings.

A new federal rule lets USCIS send asylum seekers, including kids, directly to immigration court - taking away their right to asylum interviews.
NIJC has sued and submitted a public comment to immediately withdraw the rule. See more: immigrantjustice.org/blog/ne…

ICYMI: the court records show more than ICE's announcement did. Before ICE arrested Julian Curo-Churata in Maryland on June 27, he had an asylum application in immigration court and had shown up for his June hearing.

🏛️ Thanks to the @HispanicCaucus and @CAPAC as they lead members of Congress in opposing an interim rule letting USCIS refer certain asylum cases to immigration court w/o even interviewing the person seeking protection.

Kansas City’s immigration court backlog has topped 49K cases, making it a hub for fast-tracked "mega master" hearings- a trend we've seen in Chicago for months. @KCStar follows sisters leading volunteer court watchers to hold the system accountable: kansascity.com/news/politics…

All over the United States, people are enduring inhumane detention conditions in facilities funded by YOUR tax dollars.
@ackocher made an interactive map documenting the dozens of deaths in ICE custody since 2018.

Yesterday, I joined @SenatorDurbin and @NIJC to observe hearings at the Chicago Immigration Court.
What we saw was a mockery of justice. Children are being deported WITHOUT their parents.
We’re not going to let them get away with this.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and local advocates sounded the alarm Wednesday over systemic due process violations at Chicago's downtown immigration court. chicago.suntimes.com/2026/08…

I will continue to work with @NIJC and @ChildrenLglCntr to end this Administration's disgusting attacks on children and relegate their actions to the dustbin of history where they belong.

Today, I attended a "mega master" immigration court hearing in Chicago—the latest ploy in Trump's cruel deportation campaign that has sown fear into our communities & derailed due process.
The cruelty this Admin has inflicted on immigrants, especially children, is unfathomable.

Amid relentless attacks on due process—ramped-up immigration enforcement, and inhumane and indefinite detention—immigrant communities are being forced through an unjust immigration system without a fair chance to defend themselves.
National Immigrant Justice Center retweeted
@SenAdamSchiff just reintroduced the Fairness to Freedom Act, legislation that would establish a right to legal representation for anyone facing deportation and serve as a crucial protection for our communities against Trump’s supercharged deportation machine.

Sen. @maziehirono and @RepJudyChu have introduced urgent legislation to block implementation of the Trump administration’s public charge regulation. Learn more using this link and please join us in thanking Sen. Hirono and Rep. Chu for their leadership. pifcoalition.org/resources/p….
Immigration detention is deadly. Congress MUST protect people's lives & stop funding ICE & Border Patrol's cruelty (w/ YOUR taxpayer dollars). Read NEW policy brief: immigrantjustice.org/researc…
Immigrant communities are being attacked with aggressive enforcement, inhumane detention, and fast-tracked deportations—often without access to a lawyer to defend their rights.
So what is due process and what happens when it’s denied? @npnewamericans
