¿Cómo se organizan las personas detenidas? El 10 de junio, cinco migrantes publicaron una carta en redes sociales denunciando los abusos que han sufrido en el centro de detención del condado de Torrance, Nuevo México. @ACLUNM @ThinkLawLab

BREAKING: The DC Circuit has ruled against a class of #DV2020 lottery winners in Gomez v. Biden, upholding the federal gov's appeal of a lower court decision that ordered the State Dept to process 9,095 diversity visas (DV). This is a heartbreaking loss for our class. 💔

UPDATE: #SB4 is blocked again, per a new order by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Follow @ACLU @ACLUTx @TXCivilRights @LasAmericasIAC @amergateways for the latest updates as we fight against this unconstitutional law.
BREAKING: In a 6-3 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court allows anti-immigrant law #SB4 to go into effect immediately.
The law’s implementation would lead to racial profiling, separate families, and harm Black and Brown communities across the state. /1🧵

Today, we had our first ever hearing in HBA v. Biden. The judge ruled favorably to our request and we’re excited about the new momentum and opportunity to continue to demand accountability and repair for the thousands of Haitian asylum seekers who were abused in Del Rio.

Torrance County Detention Facility has an abhorrent track record of harm, including death, and continues abusing people detained there. It is long past time to #ShutDownTCDF - please join this action calling on ICE to #FreeErick and #FreeCarlos.
Carlos (left) and Erick (right) survived physical assaults by guards in the Torrance County Detention Facility and are at risk of deportation to Honduras. They've spoken up against staff mistreatment, and ICE needs to release them!
Email the ICE Director: actionnetwork.org/letters/fr…
ALT Background: gradient light to darker blue. Foreground: Black text in upper left: Stop ICE retaliation against detained advocates in New Mexico! Text at right in yellow: #FreeErick #FreeCarlos #FreeThemAll. Two men, Carlos at left and Erick at right. Erick has brown skin and dark brown hair and is straight faced. His neck and up is shown. Carlos has brown skin and dark brown hair. His shoulders and up are shown, and he is slightly smiling.

Solitary confinement is a form of torture that is disproportionately used against people of color.
We need to end this inhumane practice!

The letter states:
CBP "guidance requires that detainees, whether in holding rooms or not, are to be provided w meals at regularly scheduled times, have restroom accommodations available, & detainees must be provided with essential personal hygiene items."
This is not happening.
