China the top sender of foreign students to the U.S., who contribute billions in tuition and living expenses to U.S. universities and the economy. Amid unexplained student visa revocations and a heightening trade war, the Chinese government is now warning students to think twice about studying here.

EXCLUSIVE Trump touted their ICE arrests. Half were already in prison or jail -- not on the streets of America. Many had been deported before, some as many as four times. w/ amazing visualization by @arturgalocha.bsky.social LINK: www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Oh my god. They deported a man who an immigration judge had declared was "more likely than not" to face persecution in El Salvador ... to El Salvador, during the big March 15 AEA flights! They outright admit it! Yet the Trump admin's response to a court is basically "oops, well, no take backsies."

Attacks on immigrants are attacks on Social Security. Undocumented immigrants subsidize Social Security for all of us, paying in $32.3 billion (in 2022) with little chance of ever receiving benefits. We all pay a price for the GOP's obsession with deporting people who work & pay taxes in the US.

Undoc workers have been helping subsidize critical federal programs for Americans. In 2022, undoc workers also paid $25.7b into Social Security, $6.4b into Medicare, and nearly $2b into unemployment—all programs they’re barred from accessing unless they can ever adjust their legal status 👇🏽

WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador on March 15.
