Refugees and immigrants deserve safety and dignity. The Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act #SEADRA brings immediate relief to community members who live with day-to-day fears of deportation. We call on members of Congress to support SEADRA. Join us today: linktr.ee/searac. @searac.bsky.social

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

"The decision unmasks the outright lie that these raids are about protecting public safety from serious threats. The Supreme Court majority makes clear that average non-white workers are targets" Chris Newman, Legal Director, NDLON ndlon.org/statement-fr...

Another life lost to immigration detention: Last month Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas, 32, died while in ICE custody on August 31 in AZ. ICE had detained Mr. Batrez Vargas at Central Arizona Correctional Complex in Florence, AZ and has reported that the cause of his death is currently known.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 The Supreme Court on Monday overturned an order that had blocked ICE from committing egregious racial profiling, as they did in raids in Los Angeles earlier this year. 🧵

🚨ALERT: ICE & other feds raided the Home Depot parking lot on Rhode Island this morning (8/12) and detained approx 15 people who were both workers and shoppers. Multiple agencies were involved and the cowards were masked. 1/

There aren’t shelter beds for everyone living outside. There aren’t treatment facilities for everyone living outside. You cannot jail & fine your way out of homelessness.

NO to family separations & mass incarceration! New legislation would supercharge criminal prosecutions for migration. Our *new* policy brief w/ @nipnlg.bsky.social @immdefenseproject.bsky.social @the-ilrc.bsky.social @auwcl.bsky.social @immjustice.bsky.social 👇 immigrantjustice.org/blog/new-exp...

🧵Congressional briefing on immigration @chuygarcia.house.gov hosted a congressional briefing with @the-ilrc.bsky.social @detentionwatchnetwork.org & @immigrantjustice.bsky.social to sound the alarm on the expansion of immigration enforcement and detention.

ICE will be handed tens of billions of dollars to continue carrying out Trump's cruel plans of mass deportations. Taxpayer money that could be used for housing, education, food security NOT deportations. Our communities deserve so much better.

NEW: I spoke with a woman named Andrea about her experience being detained by ICE after calling the cops for help during a domestic violence incident. She was recently postpartum, breastfeeding & put in an all-male facility. She was detained for 2.5 months.

Important explainer on the Supreme Court decision regarding birthright citizenship.

🚨 US Supreme Court Limits Ability to Block Trump Policies Nationwide 🚨 Today, the Supreme Court ruled to limit federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions — a major blow to efforts that block unconstitutional policies like Trump's attack on birthright citizenship🧵

Such a crystal clear example of how an attack on immigrant rights is an attack on all of our rights. Thank you for your clarity @the-ilrc.bsky.social The harder they attack our rights, the more we must defiantly insist on on our rights.

Our client, Luis, followed immigration law and was detained for it. He said, “But now I see that they don’t respect the processes just the same. It’s just about numbers.” Read more: capitalandmain.com/heres-whats-...

People inside Delaney Hall have reported abuse, neglect, and dangerous conditions. The federal government should close this dangerous facility. Follow @njaij.bsky.social for reports from the ground.

This is outrageous. Another example of the Trump administration trying to silence dissenting voices and anyone willing to challenge their false narratives.

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

🚨URGENT ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress to keep their hands off DC’s sanctuary laws! Since the residents of DC do not have representation, we need your help to stop them. Email and call TODAY: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This is not about "public safety". It's about intimidating cities who refuse to participate in Trump's mass deportation efforts.

Across the country, people are organizing and protecting their immigrant neighbors.

We refuse to stay silent while ICE terrorizes working class communities. We are turning out and standing united in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social calling on the release of SEIU President David Huerta!

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

Surveillance is a reproductive justice issue 📢📢📢 ALPR technology is being used to find people who seek reproductive care. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last unless we organize against it now‼️ www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

Sanctuary policies make communities safer. The list of jurisdictions published by DHS is an attempt to intimidate and strip away protections that keep all communities safe, including immigrants.

New Jersey: let’s make one thing clear. 💥This is a hollow attempt at intimidation and nothing more 💥 Sanctuary policies are already in compliance with federal law. A change in immigration law does not change the constitution. www.dhs.gov/sanctuary-ju...

It's clear that ICE targeted Jeanette because of her activism, a clear violation of her 1st amendment rights.

Rümeysa was abducted by ICE and transferred more than 1,500 miles away from her home, all because she dared to express her political beliefs and solidarity with Palestine. We look forward to the release of more people in detention.

Don’t fall for ICE’s talking points. The real story: New Jersey passed a state law prohibiting immigration detention in the state. ICE continues to fight against the will of the voters. AND the Delaney Hall, the new detention center, does not have the proper city permits to reopen.

Here's @detentionwatchnetwork.org and local groups statement on ICE's arrest of Mayor Baraka www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/pressroom/re...

Communities in NJ are making the demand clear: shut Delaney Hall down! We commend Mayor Baraka for joining the people of NJ to reject Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. DWN's statement w/ NJ groups leading local organizing towards #CommunitiesNotCages: www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/pressroom/re...

The arrest of Mayor Baraka is an escalation from ICE. New Jersey passed a state law prohibiting immigration detention centers. Despite the will of the voters, ICE has tried every avenue to expand detention in the state.

📍 WE’RE MARCHING FOR LIBERATION, NOT DEPORTATION! This is what #ImmigrantPower looks like.

Join us and @detentionwatchnetwork.org @justfutureslaw.bsky.social @the-ilrc.bsky.social for a conversation about Trump's 100 days and how we can fight back, build, and take action. Webinar on Tuesday, May 6, 3-4pm ET Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

""We do not know where the defendant is located," Chief Deputy Prosecutor Winston Lin said of 18-year-old Eduardo Garcia, [arrested in February] whose name is included on the sheriff's office spreadsheet listing persons who were taken into custody by ICE." www.courierpress.com/story/news/l...

This authoritarian move by the Trump Admin is an attempt to intimidate any person, including judges, who are willing to question their mass deportation agenda. This is the moment to raise your voice and protect the constitutional rights of all people, including immigrants.

Tough day for Unnamed Centrist House Democrat ://
