Every last one of the men sent unlawfully by the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador must be freed. Please share the stories of some of the men disappeared. Read their stories @ImmDef. Help uplift their names &stories. #dueprocessmatters 1/2

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

On Facebook, Sara Baruth shares that she voted for Trump... and he's deporting her partner and father of her children who has been here since he was a kid.

From Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. to Tijuana, our team shows up for immigrant communities every step of the way. ⬇️ Here's a look at what we've been up to:

🥳📣Good news: The First Circuit just denied the Trump Admin's request to pause our win in Svitlana v. Noem that protected legal status + work permits for hundreds of thousands of people who came to the U.S. through CHNV humanitarian parole. More on this here: justiceactioncenter.org/news/appeals...

Today is day 50 since Andry disappeared, & we have no proof of life since the horrific photos taken as he arrived at CECOT. @immdef.bsky.social is so grateful to @lastweektonight.com for featuring his plight on tonight’s episode. We’re still fighting for his return, we’re holding on to hope 👑

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

To date, the Trump Administration has refused to share the names of the men it has sent to El Salvador. One attorney involved in the advocacy efforts described her clients as “ghosts.”

Representing some of the men who were sent to a black hole of a prison in El Salvador is chilling. Speaking to these men’s mothers can be excruciating. They give detail after detail of their sons’ lives explaining that they have no ties to Tren de Aragua. 1/2

No one should face our complex immigration system alone. I'm proud to support the Fairness to Freedom Act, which would give immigrants facing deportation the right to counsel.

Jeferson Escalona, who DHS said was a “self-admitted” member of Tren de Aragua: "They're making false accusations about me. I don't belong to any gang." W/ @kristinacooke.bsky.social www.reuters.com/world/americ...

As the Trump administration detains and deports people without a chance to defend themselves, we are in a due process crisis. In response, we need universal legal representation for ALL people in immigration court, not just those who can afford it.

A Venezuelan family is calling for a 2-year-old to be returned to her mother after the US deported the mother to Venezuela and sent the father to a Salvadoran prison. The toddler, Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal, remains in foster care in the US, Homeland Security says.

TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice. (Can't post the clip here because of @bsky.app's daily video limit but the text tells you what you need to know)

Judge issues nationwide order blocking Trump's attempt to cut legal aid for unaccompanied minors abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

More executive orders on immigration. (Sorry!)

About a year ago, the University of New Mexico Police Department arbitrarily labeled me a “prominent leader” in the Palestinian liberation protests on campus.

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

HORRIFIC. Every single person sent without due process needs to be accounted for and brought back so they can have the opportunity to present their case. *Anything* to the contrary is BARBARIC.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

NEW: The Trump administration must attempt to return a second wrongly deported man from El Salvador, a judge — appointed by Trump — ruled late last night. The 20-year-old was deported as an “alien enemy” last month despite a pending asylum claim. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Read the latest about @immdef.bsky.social client Andry’s immigration case. Over 1 month of no contact with family or atty. Keep uplifting his story and of others disappeared to El Salvador. Imagine if it were your son, brother, or friend. Silence satisfies oppressors. Let’s not comply. Amplify!

"We cannot give everyone a trial," — Donald Trump Alarming to say the very least

"....I'm still mystified as to how a first, second, fourth or sixth grader would pose any type of risk to our nation's national security that would require Homeland Security to deploy its agents to two elementary schools." -- LA Schools Super Alberto Carvalho @maddow.msnbc.com @maddowblog.msnbc.com

House Democrats land in El Salvador, demand Abrego Garcia's return https://www.npr.org/2025/04/21/g-s1-61500/house-democrats-land-in-el-salvador-demand-abrego-garcias-return?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Last week I flew to Chile to meet the wife and baby daughter of one of the Venezuelan migrants thrown in jail in El Salvador after being deported by Trump - a talented singer called Arturo Suárez. “If something happens to my husband, I will hold Trump & Bukele responsible,” she told me 💔

the united states—the most powerfulcountry in the world—has now become the most dysfunctional, kleptocratic, and unfree political system of the advanced industrial democracies. by far. www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-a...

JUST IN: Trump administration asks #SCOTUS to lift its block on 2nd wave of Alien Enemies Act deportations. SG John Sauer opposes any class-wide relief & asks court to clarify that non-AEA deportations can proceed. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

History always has a lesson.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts grants a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from deporting people to third countries without telling them where they're going and allowing them to raise fears of persecution or torture. The opening lays out the stakes.

Just so y'all know what the mood in Jersey City is like rn.

🚨NEW: 4th Circuit unanimously rejects Trump request to halt proceedings in Mr. Abrego Garcia's case. Reagan appointee Wilkinson writes that the Trump admin's position is "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans ... still hold dear."

He is free!! Thank you to everyone who shared, call and did anything to help secure his release.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Yesterday a federal court granted an emergency stay blocking the Trump admin's reimplementation of the Remain in Mexico policy. We're proud to represent @immdef.bsky.social in this case, along with @nipnlg.bsky.social @innovationlawlab.bsky.social. Our statement: cgrs.uclawsf.edu/news/court-b...

VICTORY: A federal court just BLOCKED the Trump admin’s attempt to bring back the cruel Remain in Mexico policy. The Court agreed with @immdef.bsky.social: it endangers asylum seekers + violates their right to legal counsel. 📣 Full statement: tinyurl.com/apr17-2025

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK
