#ICYMI: 📣the FY2026 DHS Funding bill failed to pass in the Senate, with a 55-25 vote blocking the bill package that included ~10 billion for ICE. Thank you to everyone who contacted their Senators– your pressure & voices matter! Negotiations on DHS bill are still ongoing. bit.ly/3ZOaKWw

🚨 Yesterday, a federal judge postponed the Trump Admins attempt to strip Haitian TPS holders of status while the case proceeds All TPS status protections remain in effect, including that they cannot be detained based on their immigration status + remain authorized to work

As Border Patrol expands its reach beyond the border zone constitutional lines are being crossed. Officials claim “inference” w/ enforcement causes violence. Exercising your Constitutional rights & knowing the law–filming, protesting, gathering– is NOT interference. ✊

Our staff attorney Jeremy Jong spoke with @truthout.org about the horrifying conditions in ICE custody. “If you detain more people, more people are going to die. These are not places that are set up to give anywhere near a decent level of health care.” ⬇️ truthout.org/articles/ice...

Now ICE plans to target #Haitians in Ohio, claiming that it's safe for them to be deported to #Haiti. No. The Haitian capital is a war zone between the police and the gangs. @jakobjohnston.bsky.social @repshontelbrown.bsky.social @alotrolado-org.bsky.social ayibopost.com/how-a-drone-...

The Trump’s administration attack on Temporary Protected Status continues– putting migrants from multiple countries migrants at risk for losing what has become a lifeline. DHS is moving to terminate TPS for Haiti on Feb. 3, a move that ignores both the law & reality of the country. bit.ly/4t5cqsl

The Trump Administration is set to terminate TPS on February 3rd, putting more than 375,000 Haitian TPS holders at risk of immediate danger, including family separation. LIVES ARE ON THE LINE. We NEED your help to protect them #TPSForHaiti 🇭🇹

Immigration enforcement insists they are targeting dangerous felons and immigrants convicted of a violent crime, yet 4 children from the same school district in Minnesota have been taken this month.

As federal immigration agents flood Minneapolis it is hard to ignore a recent claim from the ​​Department of Homeland Security: “ICE is not going to schools to arrest children — we are protecting children”. But children are being hurt in the process of their operations every single day.

This is great work from @immcouncil.org: A comprehensive report on what's really going on with Trump and Stephen Miller's ever-growing immigrant detention system. Key point: They estimate that it could grow to as big as 135,000 beds. Report here: www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/immig...

Are you waiting to hear back from the U.S. government about an immigration application? USCIS is putting a significant number of applications on hold and even threatening to reopen some applications it's approved in the past few years. @daralind.bsky.social explains what you need to know.

In a year filled with heartbreaking headlines, we have extraordinary news to share: two of our clients were freed from ICE detention this week — and reunited with their families after many painful months apart.

ICE agents’ refusal to wear proper identification has opened the door for impersonators to harm others. A 17 yr old US citizen had a gun pulled on him by a man claiming to be ICE. ICE’s unchecked aggression has already created an environment where abuse thrives.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will review the Trump administration’s appeal in our case challenging the former “turnback”/“metering” policy, which blocked people from seeking asylum at the southern border. The Ninth Circuit ruled the policy unlawful. 1/5 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In an attempt to warn ICE officers that children were nearby, a U.S. citizen was shot. ICE agents hide behind masks, swearing they’re under threat + their lives are at risk. It's a lie that fuels violence w 0 accountability. It’s *our* lives at risk, not ICE agents’.

So deeply grateful for @jessethorn.bsky.social's support 🙏💕! No one should die seeking safety. We fight back with legal aid, food, and hope. Join the fight. Donate today. ✊ #BuildHopeNotWalls

ICE continues to terrorize schools, homes + now hospitals–waving guns in staff’s faces, even to shackling patients, Gov. Newsom has signed SB 81 to prevent ICE from entering medical facilities w/out proper docs. But let's face it, ICE is lawless.

Pregnant women are being horrifically mistreated in ICE custody. This is an outrage, one that unveils the glaring hypocrisy of the “pro-life” party who claim to be for protecting the unborn yet are fine w endangering the lives of immigrant mothers + their babies.

In August, ICE agents in full tactical gear blew the front door off a home in order to violently arrest an expectant mom who was getting back from a medical check-up. “… an agent turned an outdoor surveillance camera away from what was transpiring—an act she caught on camera and shared w/KTLA.”

Our client, Afghan human rights advocate Ali Faqirzada, was detained by ICE moments after being found to have a strong asylum claim. Read how Ali's community has rallied for his release. Join our campaign to #FreeAli: bit.ly/FreeAliFaqirzada

L.A. County has passed a vote to provide rent relief to families affected by ICE immigration raids. Rent relief funds will be available via an online portal for those who apply within the next two months; however, this does not diminish the horrific treatment people have endured.

The Trump admin’s policies aren’t just destroying the lives of immigrants - they’re devastating the lives of American families too; families like the Blaguis. Lauren is a US citizen whose husband Bechir is trapped in the impossible maze of our asylum system + whose family may be torn apart. 1/4

ICE stormed an apt complex by helicopter as families slept, zip-tying children + US citizens. Used chemical agents near a public school. Shot a woman they say was trying to run over agents. W/ zero accountability + ruthless tactics, ICE has become a modern-day Gestapo.

The asylum system is a maze that tears families apart. 🎧 Hear from a U.S. citizen fighting to keep hers together—and learn why “doing things the right way” is a cruel myth. open.spotify.com/episode/57dC...

As our communities have been under attack, @alotrolado-org.bsky.social have been at the forefront of humanitarian support to refugees, deportees and have been trying to protect the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. During October, the profits from every shirt sold will be donated to AOL.

Our Border Rights Project Director, Nicole Ramos, + Professor Jaya Ramji-Nogales reveal how border lawyers are being surveilled + harassed by U.S. & Mexican authorities. Defending asylum seekers shouldn’t come with a target on your back. Read the essay @knightcolumbia.org : knightcolumbia.org/c...

In a new essay for our Regardless of Frontiers series, Jaya Ramji-Nogales (@templelaw.bsky.social) and Nicole Ramos (@alotrolado-org.bsky.social) discuss the U.S. government’s surveilllance and harassment of lawyers who serve migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. knightcolumbia.org/content/surv...

“I am always nervous.” ICE has detained multiple U.S. Citizens based on their physical appearance, leaving many traumatized from the horrific treatment. Constitutional rights are eroding right before our eyes, and the presidential administration is not only allowing it but encouraging it.

🚨 Another detention center has opened in California City—illegally, without permits. Inside: no clean water, no medical care. Outside: immigrant families are too afraid to leave their homes. Fear is the point. We refuse to accept it.

Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywd...

As an org that has documented thousands of disappearances w/in the immigration system, we can say that what's going on here meets the UN definition of enforced disappearances. To say that the US is hurdling towards authoritarianism is no longer hyperbole economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

Language shouldn’t be a death sentence. Refugees in Mexico are being denied protection because they can’t speak Spanish. We are stepping in with interpretation—but we need $75K to expand this urgent lifeline. Help us make sure they’re heard. www.globalgiving.org/projects/pro...

Homeland Security depicts immigrant arrests set to Pokémon music and clips. Using a fictional game to dehumanize real people and turn them into characters to “catch,” many times without warrants or reason, just goes to show how sadistic this administration is.

Over 80 judges this year have been fired amidst the growing backlog of nearly 4M immigration cases. This is a war on due process and a deliberate attempt to implode the immigration system. www.npr.org/2025/09/...

Our communities are under attack. Families are being torn apart. We lost $2M in funding, but the need is growing. Help us #BuildHopeNotWalls. Donate now. 🔗 alotrolado.org/buildhopenot...

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...
