WATCH: FWD.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social on Bloomberg TV explains why the H-1B program strengthens the U.S. economy, fills critical workforce gaps, and helps American businesses stay competitive. The new $100,000 H-1B fee would devastate innovation and harm American workers.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.

Hmmm

#H1B reform should focus on increasing our ability to win the global race for talent by modernizing the program. "There are things we can do to reform and improve these visa categories,” @thetoddschulte.bsky.social shared via @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/b...

"In the short term, this wrongheaded decision will undoubtedly propel Trump’s invasion of major cities, and it will constrain the power of the lower federal courts—the only branch of the federal government not yet fully controlled by the President—from upholding the rule of law...." 3/x

“Years to come”

So much appreciation for @vanhollen.senate.gov. More leaders like him, please. www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Revoking legal status, slashing legal immigration, and efforts to deport millions of individuals will only harm communities across the country and result in families paying an additional $2,150 for goods and services each year. www.fwd.us/news/new-imm...

NEW: Today, we are launching a tracker that highlights how efforts to strip legal status — including #TPS and immigration parole — will shrink the U.S. workforce, impacting everyone. 🧵 www.fwd.us/protections-...

Love to see it.

This is very good from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. One point people have not talked about is the weird, tough dynamic where advocates trying to stop awful anti-immigrant actions and the policy architects can *both* have reasons to show the same horrific injustices. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

FWD.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social issued the following statement in support of today’s reintroduction of the bipartisan Dignity Act by Representatives María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and @repescobar.bsky.social (D-TX)

People were not happy with how the last President addressed the border and the lack of a plan for people building their lives here…and now they’re really really mad at this admin for pretending to have a mandate for mass family separations and deportations.

Great to join @gregsargent.bsky.social on his podcast to talk about what’s going on with immigration, what is really going on with the harms and enforcement that as escalating daily and what we can all do to push back—including why legal status is so key! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hmmm

NEW @fwd.us Statement on Final Passage of Reconciliation Bill www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-...

Today, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social shared the story of Narciso, a father of three U.S. Marines, who was arrested while at work. The reconciliation bill passed today would supercharge this kind of enforcement-only approach, which the American people have repeatedly rejected.

WATCH: @thetoddschulte.bsky.social joined @ktvufox2.bsky.social to explain how the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions opens up new avenues for an administration to press ahead on unlawful, harmful policies.

Dorothy Gaines, 68, bravely shared her story in our #WeCantAffordIt report about the financial toll on families with incarcerated loved ones. Now she’s facing homelessness. The $348B “family tax” isn’t abstract, it’s real. If you heard her on NPR, please donate.

Self-professed Federal immigration officers in Santa Ana repeatedly punched in the face, pepper sprayed, and detained a gardener who is father to three UD marines. In case you’re wondering how things are going. ktla.com/news/local-n...

As @thetoddschulte.bsky.social told @voguebusiness.bsky.social, these recent immigration enforcement actions targeting LA’s garment and fashion industry not only hurt hardworking people and their families, but will disrupt entire industries and communities. www.voguebusiness.com/story/fashio...

Hard to express how huge of a deal John Tanton was and had been and in all the worst ways.

Immigration expert: DACA shows why giving people that certainty, that legal status, that ability to work and live your life with a little bit more certainty is absolutely critical for them—and critical for our entire country.

Our team attended the #FreeAndry rally today in front of the Supreme Court. Andry and the 200+ people who were disappeared to El Salvador with no due process should be brought back. @thetoddschulte.bsky.social @andreaflores.bsky.social @thebulwark.com @timmiller.bsky.social @jonlovett.bsky.social

Jackson represents the millions of Americans who support incarcerated loved ones at great personal expense — a staggering $4,195 per year. Read the FWD’s new research that shaped Jackson’s story: WeCantAffordIt.us

“This is a deeply tragic decision that penalizes half a million people for complying with our immigration laws.” — @fwd.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social time.com/7290155/migr...

International students drive innovation. Threats to cancel students’ visas are creating chaos and uncertainty for students and higher education, and threatening American prosperity.

Ongoing attacks are disrupting tens of thousands of international students’ lives, which will lead to job losses, hurt the economy for all Americans, and put the U.S.’ global competitive advantage at risk. Learn how you can take action —> fwd.us/student-innovation

The arrest of a mayor and now charging of a sitting Member of Congress for basic oversight efforts of an ICE jail should make clear, once again, the harms that come from the criminalization of immigrants and citizens born in the US. 1/4

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in a case regarding the nationwide injunction on the unconstitutional effort to end birthright citizenship. @fwd.us President Todd Schulte explains what’s at stake, what the Constitution says, and why protecting birthright citizenship matters for all Americans:

Big deal

No consistent rules. Easy to get on the list. Hard to get off. Yet these labels can determine who gets deported, denied housing, or sent to solitary. Here’s why we should all be skeptical of gang designations. 🧵

BREAKING- Judge Chen issues order in NTPSA v Noem: "Plaintiffs are seven individuals from Venezuela who are TPS holders, plus the National TPS Alliance (“NTPSA”).. .the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion....

The 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship is both good policy bc it allows immigrants to more fully contribute. That’s good. So is immigration, and it’s important to say this — in addition to the point that this EO is clearly unconstitutional and will be blocked….

Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
