Our communities deserve to be prepared and empowered! 💥⚽️

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Sherrill denied chance to speak with detainees during Delaney Hall visit

Immigration detainees are still human beings with constitutional and basic human rights, even in civil custody. One meal at #DelaneyHall does not answer whether people are receiving safe food, medical care, and humane treatment every day. youtu.be/vPEWKVpjY-Q

After his oversight visit of Delaney Hall, Senator @kim.senate.gov shared that he was not allowed to speak to any of the detainees, adding that if he spoke to any of them, the oversight tour would be over. He also said the GEO Group official leading the tour barely answered any of his questions.

We will continue to uplift the stories of the detainees, Thank you @kim.senate.gov !!

"Rodrigues described what he called 'psychological torture' by guards who flipped on bright lights all night, opened and slammed heavy doors when detainees were sleeping, and blasted the volume on televisions at all hours" “They wouldn’t let us sleep”

Everyone deserves the right to due process.

Overwhelming judges’ caseloads does not do justice by the people and families whose lives hang in the balance, or to our communities. 

It’s what I see at Delaney Hall in Newark and around the country. We deserve better.

See my tour of the MUTUAL AID TENT of donated diapers, clothing, and food (weeks before protests began).

Because the organizers and volunteers are being exposed to dust and the HORRIBLE SMELL in the TOXIC environmental neighborhood this prison exists in--including sewer and waste plants, meat processing plants, and other industrial plants that cause the community to REAK...

The shadowy cabal of donors who funded this violence were 🔥Community members 🔥Local churches and synagogues who sent gift cards to family members of Delaney Hall ICE prisoners There were also PPE masks inside the mutual aid tent LONG BEFORE these protests began...

Essex County government provided the tent because GEO Group—the for profit prisoner operator that made $254 million in profit last year through these kinds of ICE prison—forced the loved ones of prisoners, and their young children, to wait outside in the freezing cold (in some cases for hours)...

Just a few meetings left for our June AFU Action Fly-In! Proud of our first-timers who showed up nervous about speaking to reps and are leaving empowered that their stories matter, and that Republicans & Democrats both want and NEED to hear from citizens impacted by our broken immigration system.

We're in DC this week, but the work doesn't stop when we leave the capital. Join us next week for an important virtual event with @aila.org: "What USCIS's New Guidance Means for Mixed-Status Families: Understanding the New AOS Policy & Financial Institution Memos." us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Really solid reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for @migrantinsider.bsky.social — worth the read. He builds on the GardaWorld x ICE Mega Prison thread I’ve been digging into, but the piece itself goes much deeper on how this contract actually works. migrantinsider.com/p/canadian-f...

"Every time you pull into a Home Depot parking lot, there’s a camera reading your license plate... "Now, two shareholders are forcing the question that Home Depot’s board would rather not answer: Is this company helping immigration enforcement find its own customers?" @migrantinsider.bsky.social

What I saw inside Delaney Hall was unjust. It was cruel. That’s why I’m fighting to get an audit done immediately and improve conditions. No more taxpayer dollars to fund this lawlessness.

ICE to stop reporting deaths of newly released detainees, internal memo says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE NO MORE MONEY FOR DETENTION CENTERS NO MORE MONEY FOR SEPARATING FAMILIES

🚨 Happening at the Capitol now: More money for ICE, nothing to improve our lives.

AFU Action is back on Capitol Hill for Day 2 of our fly-in! Follow along here (+ IG/X) as our members talk to senators on both sides of the aisle about the damage that congressional inaction on immigration reform is doing to our families. What would you say to a senator about immigration reform?

From Senator Patty Murray

So much love and friendship

Finally. Great to see the House stand up to Trump to put an end to his costly, illegal war in Iran. Now, it's time for the Senate to pass it, too.

Follow me here for updates through Friday. If you know someone in a mixed-status family who needs information or support, visit afuaction.org.

The families in those offices are fighting for the 1.4 million American families across the country who also risk being separated, or already are, because our broken immigration system doesn't provide a pathway to status for our spouses.

We are asking every representative to cosponsor the Dignity Act, or if they have already cosponsored it, to speak out more. This bipartisan bill already has 39 House cosponsors, 19 Republicans and 20 Democrats. It would give families a legal path to stay together.

We came with 20 Americans from 15 states. They are U.S. citizens whose spouses, parents, and children are facing deportation or have already been separated from them. Over two days, they will walk into more than 50 congressional offices across the Senate and House.

“The state of New Jersey and the city of Newark are taking legal action against Delaney Hall’s owner and operator, Geo Group, after days of protests and an ongoing hunger strike inside the ICE facility. “ #Delaney #DelaneyHall mailchi.mp/0507f3b83c60...

Moments after the curfew was lifted, protesters marched to Delaney Hall, where they were met with a line of Newark PD blocking the area near the gates of Delaney Hall. Video from: www.facebook.com/share/v/1Lod...

There are no shortage of challenges we are facing which is why we fight so hard for our community. And today, I am so thankful that Ariadna is finally back home in Orange!

“If the State Police are going to use the same tactics as ICE agents, then they are no different than ICE. These actions do not in fact uphold public safety and do not protect people’s constitutional rights to peacefully demonstrate,” said Nedia Morsy of @maketheroadnj.bsky.social in a statement.

The Trump administration is lying about Delaney Hall. Here's what's actually going on.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

@pallone.house.gov confirms what we were told about the strikers in Unit 2: "[ICE and the GEO guards] were trying to find the leaders of the hunger strike... basically elbowed or hit some of the detainees against the wall or on the floor, and four of them went to the hospital. Others were injured."

I'm back at the Capitol to advocate for New Jersey because what I saw at Delaney Hall is out right disturbing. Here are three things we can do to make things better for detainees and their families.

Good news gets reposts.

BREAKING GOOD NEWS from El Pueblo Unido Atlantic City: An 18-year-old detainee who participated in the hunger strike inside Delaney Hall, is now FREE! Ariana is now speaking out about what she witnessed and experienced behind those walls. #FreeThemAll

Black voting power is under attack, but we will not stay silent.  I joined People’s Organization for Progress as a panelist in their special forum to discuss the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act and how we can fight back with advocacy and civic engagement.

After spending an estimated $38 billion into warehouses for their cruel mass deportation agenda... "The Trump administration is looking into selling some of the large warehouses that ICE had purchased earlier this year to serve as mega-detention centers for immigrants"

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Anti-Delaney Hall ICE prison organizers tell us ICE agents are going around the prison asking for prisoners under 21 to identify themselves (one of the demands has been to release those under 21 and the sick first). An 18-year-old high schooler was just released 🔽
