"Esperanza" shares, "Today we started planting broccoli at 3am. Planting is one of the most exhausting jobs, we must start early and we spend our work hours bent over, making sure we're planting the seedlings properly. Sometimes I get dizzy from bending over so much." #WeFeedYou
For many years, millions of dollars in federal funding have been distributed to expand the reach of immigration enforcement to the local police level. To learn more about Operation Stonegarden, read more here: nnirr.org/how-federal-enforc…
On June 11, HSI agents showed up unannounced at AMICA, AYUDA, & KIND, demanding confidential information about their unaccompanied youth programs. This display of intimidation tactics is an attempt to infringe on unaccompanied minors' right to due process. bit.ly/AMICA-statement
As immigration agents ramp up violence in Chicago and across the U.S., immigrants (and other POC) are suffering. Targeting one community is a gateway to oppressing others. We are only as free as the most subjugated among us.

It is important to keep talking and learning about enforced disappearances in the context of migration. Thank you @NNIRRnetwork for organizing this workshop.

Recommend reading @the_ILRC toolkit on expanded expedited removal. "Immigration officers usually do not tell someone that they are being placed in the expedited removal process, so it can be difficult to know for sure"
Has sections on when to stay silent vs not if stopped by ICE
We strongly denounce the recent comments made by the Texas Department of Public Safety director, referring to undocumented immigrants as "cockroaches." This kind of dehumanizing language only serves to justify and incite abuse and violence against people in vulnerable situations.

The Fifth Circuit of Appeals has ruled the maiming buoys along the Rio Grande can stay – what does this signal for the future? 🤔
Immigration is an international occurrence. This means global impacts, be they economic, or environmental, are a DIRECT cause for migration.

He pushed for laws to give migrants a lawful, orderly and safe path to the U.S.
When Congress refused to act, he did what he could to help the most desperate and vulnerable, saving the lives of countless migrants. He helped us to live up to our values.

Migrant deaths in the San Diego sector have been rising for years- recent CBP reports shows the majority of deaths on the border are due to environmental exposure/heat.

We celebrate the Biden Administration extending and redesignating TPS for Haiti. This step is crucial in providing relief and security to Haitian communities, especially those seeking refuge in the US from the dire situation in Haiti, recently exacerbated by natural disasters ->
We will continue to work with our colleagues like @HaitianBridge to urge Congress to implement policy changes to remedy and strengthen U.S. and international commitments to protect and uphold the rights of migrants and asylum-seekers.
We applaud the introduction of the "Chance to Come Home" resolution by Reps. Cleaver (D-MO), Espaillat (D-NY) & Trone (D-MD), along with Sen. Booker (D-NJ) & backed by @NIJC . Family separation policies impose irreparable injustices and harms on families.newsweek.com/lawmakers-annou…

Thank you @verainstitute and @NPNA for delivering this letter to Congress. We joined in urging leaders to help safeguard the due process rights of people in removal proceedings by providing access to legal representation. #humanrights4all #migrantrightsarehumanrights
