Congress is threatening to slash SNAP & Medicaid to fund Trump’s tax cuts for the rich and an expansion of ICE detention, despite documented human rights abuses in detention facilities. Congress should not be trading one community’s suffering for another’s. Take action! - bit.ly/3ECfCH4 #DefundHate

Coretta Scott King dijo: "La grandeza de una comunidad se mide [...] por las acciones compasivas de sus miembros." Con las comunidades de inmigrantes bajo amenaza, debemos apoyarnos. Si ves a ICE en tu vecindario, verifica, documenta e informa a tu Red de Respuesta Rápida local. 🧵👇

Of the 52 deaths that took place in ICE custody 12/1/17-12/21, 95% were preventable if ICE had provided appropriate medical care. Now the Trump admin aims to lower detention standards to detain more ppl. Detention is never the answer. Read: www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

~350K Venezuelans under 2023 TPS designation will lose their protective status + work permits & deportation protections 2 mos after DHS' published decision. This does nothing to repair our immigration system. This decision is not just cruel, it's senseless. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

🚫WE ARE DEMANDING THE ADMINISTRATION NOT TO SEND ANY IMMIGRANTS TO GUANTANAMO 🚫 Seeking asylum is a legal right under U.S. and international law, placing individuals in a detention infamously known for torture is a cruel policy.

Tariffs on Mexico are apparently delayed by a month! Mexico commits to another large deployment of its National Guard to the northern border, claiming they will focus on preventing fentanyl trafficking. Of course, since most fentanyl is smuggled by US citizens, that's really just for show.

Taking on injustice in the immigration system takes creativity and grit; it means making the impossible, possible. Last wk's Advance Parole trip was an example of the audacious dreams that ImmDef & our partners, Justice Action Center, are willing to fight for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywKp...
