Novo relatório da @hrw.org revela que imigrantes sofrem tratamento desumano, superlotação, falta de cuidados médicos e outros abusos em centros de detenção na Flórida. Duas mortes já ocorreram. Os EUA deveriam parar com estes abusos. www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...

A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”

In a habeas corpus suit against DHS, Lionel Flores was arrested at his ISAP check-in. When he ask ICE agents why he was being arrested they, said "judges orders don't matter, only the President." After telling them he had a lawyer, they replied "that doesn't matter either."

NEW REPORT: “You Feel Like Your Life is Over” — @hrw.org AI Justice @sanctuarylegalservices.com expose abusive conditions at 3 Florida immigration detention centers. Overcrowding, medical neglect & degrading treatment are rampant. #HumanRights #ImmigrationJustice www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...

Trump's immigration agenda has never been about keeping children safe. It is about cruelty, abducting children from their families, indefinitely detaining them, in Alexis' case with adults, and deporting them regardless of their wishes. Alexis needs to be reunited with his family immediately.

Excited to share this new piece on why @hrw.org is calling for gender apartheid to be recognized as a crime under international law. This comes after long & careful discussion w/many colleagues about if there is need for such a law and any potential downsides. www.justsecurity.org/116780/gende...

Due process isn’t optional. Stripping bond hearings and forced incarceration immigrants is state-sanctioned cruelty. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🚨New @hrw.org finds that #Thailand is threatening, extorting, and detaining #Myanmar nationals who have fled the abusive military junta to seek safety in Thailand. The Thai government should introduce a temporary protection regime for Myanmar nationals. www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...

Costa Rica has sullied its proud reputation as a country that defends human rights and protects refugees. It can and should provide meaningful, practical, immediate redress to the people it accepted, including by giving people language training, job placement assistance, and other support.

The US government should offer to bring back and hear the asylum claims of everyone it wrongfully expelled to Costa Rica.

Once in Costa Rica, people received mixed messages about the options open to them. Children have had no access to education. For 2 months, everyone was arbitrarily deprived of their liberty in a remote migrant center 300 km from the capital.

People expelled to Costa Rica had no connection to that country. None were Costa Rican citizens. Many had never been there. Some could not find it on a map.

US expulsions to Costa Rica followed weeks and in some cases more than a month of detention in squalid, overcrowded US immigration holding cells. These transfers provided no notice, no chance to seek asylum, and no opportunity to challenge the government's decision.

New @hrw.org research on 200 asylum seekers, including 81 children, expelled from the US to Costa Rica in February. "It’s reprehensible to dump families in a country they never chose, with no process and no regard for their safety," says @michaelbochenek.bsky.social www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

En février, les États-Unis ont expulsé sommairement vers le Costa Rica 200 ressortissants de pays tiers, dont 81 enfants. Ils détaillent les abus dont ils ont été victimes dans les deux pays dans un rapport de @hrw-fr.hrw.org publié aujourd'hui. www.hrw.org/fr/news/2025...

“We live just in constant terror of the wrong person finding out that we have an 11-year-old trans child. … All it takes is one wrong person getting that information, and what we could end up going through, becoming a target, is horrifying.” By @phoebepetrovic.bsky.social

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”

US “border czar” Tom Homan’s claim that family immigration detention is an “open air campus” re-ups the Trump admin 1.0 likening of these abusive lockups to “a summer camp.” That description was disingenuous and callous then, and it’s dangerously untrue now. www.hrw.org/news/2018/08...

🚨The European Union should defend the International Criminal Court amid serious attacks on its mandate & mission, say 58 NGOs. These attacks could undermine justice for victims of serious international crimes around the world. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

"One of the most contentious immigration policies in recent decades has been the detention of undocumented immigrant families. The Trump admin plans to detain thousands more in an effort to crack down on border crossings and legal pathways to asylum."

Italy's decision to begin offshore detention in Albania will replicate--and compound--existing deficiencies. "Attempts to offload migration responsibilities and move people out of sight are cruel and unrealistic," my @hrw.org colleague Jude Sunderland writes. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning. This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.

Quite the quote from the lawyer for the Salvadoran man who was deported in "error": “There’s no limiting principle to that lawlessness. [It represents] the ultimate supremacy of power over law. We’re asking the court to reaffirm the supremacy of law over power.” newrepublic.com/article/1934...

The Trump administration has admitted it committed an "error" when it deported Kilmar Abrego García, a Salvadoran resident of Maryland, back to El Salvador last month. The administration should work with the Salvadoran government to ensure his safety.

Ronna Rísquez, a Venezuelan journalist who’s written *the* book on Tren de Aragua, told me, “The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist…Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.
