Utterly wild. After firing scores of immigration judges, the Pentagon has approved sending 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. That’s like asking a podiatrist to perform ❤️ surgery. Soon, immigration courts will be nothing but kangaroo courts. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Last week, we sued the gov to uncover records of agents secretly interrogating migrant kids. We won’t let ICE operate in the shadows. Our Litigation Director Cassandra Lopez spoke to @sandiegouniontribune.com about the importance of this lawsuit. ⤵️ www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/09/06/s...

📉 The tide is turning on immigration in the U.S. New data shows 79% of Americans now say immigration is a good thing for the country, a record high. While support for Trump’s immigration policies is tanking. 🧵 1/5

ICYMI: 🚨 Al Otro Lado is suing to uncover records of agents secretly interrogating migrant kids. We won’t let ICE operate in the shadows. Children’s rights are not negotiable. Read the filing and more details here: www.courtlistener.com/docket/71260...

🚨BREAKING: Al Otro Lado just sued to expose ICE’s secret interrogations of unaccompanied migrant kids—without lawyers, without warnings, under the guise of “reunification.” Children deserve safety, not shadowy ICE tactics.

Medical privacy it’s not optional, it’s essential. Everyone deserves healthcare without fear.

Mistaken ID or no, agents chose to do this on the school curb during enrollment hours, jumping out of their truck in masks and approaching a kid with guns drawn. Horrifying for all the kids/families/staff present. Like so many things we are seeing, unforgivable. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

What’s the difference between Temporary Protected Status, asylum, and parole? Clarifying these immigration terms and their legal implications helps ensure we can have informed conversations without confusing legal definitions with political messaging.

People being held at Florida-run “Alligator Alcatraz” face maggoty food, scarce water, and limited access to legal aid. It’s not even clear if a state-run detention center is legal. Oh, and costs an estimated $450M/yr to operate. Now DHS wants it as a model. www.cbsnews.com/news/alligat...

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.

It wasn't until I worked in their health system that I became aware of what all the US did in Honduras and the size of the military presence we maintain there. The average Honduran can tell you exactly what our role was/is in their sociopolitical situation, the average American cannot.

U.S. military interventions in places like Guatemala + El Salvador fueled violence, displacement + even genocide. Now those fleeing the fallout are met with detention, deportation + contempt. US foreign policy has consequences. It’s time we take responsibility. progresstexas.org/blog/america...

#ICYMI SCOTUS cleared the way for the Trump admin to fast-track deportations to 3rd countries like South Sudan, a nation on the brink of civil war. As Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, the conservative majority's decision exposes “thousands to the risk of torture or death.” apnews.com/article/supr...

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

Immigrants doing things the "right way" — showing up to court, going to check-ins — are being arrested by ICE. The "law + order" party is punishing them for following the law. This isn’t about criminals. They want all immigrants gone. www.nytimes.com/2025...

U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent are being illegally detained by federal agents. Racial profiling is criminalizing Latino communities across the country. Mr. Ramirez’s case is just one chilling example. This is state violence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

HBA, @alotrolado-org.bsky.social and a group of courageous asylum seekers fleeing torture and persecution, filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s illegal and deliberate shutdown of asylum processing at U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry.

With the U.S. shutting its doors, queer and trans asylum seekers are being pushed to the margins — again. Thanks to Trump’s foreign aid cuts, at least half the shelters serving the LGBTQ+ community are out of resources. HT to @Wola-org.bsky.social for the reporting 1/6 www.wola.org/analysi...

Texas authorities say they arrested 47 people linked to Tren de Aragua--including at least one child as young as 3. Two months later, they still can’t show a shred of evidence. This should set off every alarm. 1/4 www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

Under the new expedited removal process, asylum seekers “get less due process fighting deportation than they would contesting a traffic ticket,” according to the @aclu.org. This is what happens when a white nationalist ghoul is in charge of immigration policy. www.washingtonpost.c...

ICE goons roleplaying Call of Duty while in front of a Mexican restaurant with a sign that says “Make Tacos not Walls”, as if the symbolism could get more on the nose

The White House's stated intent to use expedited removal for this guy's family is flatly ILLEGAL. By law, expedited removal ONLY applies to people not admitted at a port of entry, or here without having been "admitted or paroled" into the US. But his family was admitted at an airport on visas!

As Tennessee state troopers partner with ICE, something as simple as a traffic stop could lead to family separation, detention, or deportation. The state is fueling fear, but immigration advocacy group, ReMIX TN, is fighting back. This is how we protect each other. youtu.be/xo3HBn8pHG4...
