Self-deportation is tearing apart American households. Wives left behind. Kids confused and grieving. Families gutted by fear. Congress, how much more are you willing to ignore? Read more: wearethemeteor.com/self-deporta...

To the politicians who groaned on for years about the sanctity of marriage, where are you now? US citizens are being separated from their husbands and wives because Congress won't close a loophole that allows them to be deported without a path to legalization. wearethemeteor.com/self-deporta...

Is that really such a crazy thing to want? Isn’t that common sense? Listen to Jenni’s story (starts 18:11) and tell me what you think Congress should do. I want to hear from you. And if you are willing, please say a prayer for Jenni and her family and all of the families in her situation. 🙏 ✝️

We are literally asking Congress to pass a specific and narrow piece of legislation so that judges have the option to allow some spouses of U.S. citizens who aren’t a threat to anyone and who have been in the country for decades to stay and contribute to their American families and the economy.

But Congress’s inaction means that their daughter, Mackenzie, will graduate from high school this spring without her dad in the audience because he was forced to leave the country. It’s heartbreaking and unnecessary.

One of our members, Jenni Rivera, was just featured on This American Life. Please listen. You’ll see what I mean. Jenni and Fidel have been together for years. Fidel is a successful electrician with no criminal history.

We go to Congress not to protest or to have a shouting match, but just to tell a common story that our U.S. citizen members live in fear that their families will be separated. Would you like to hear the kind of stories that we tell to Congress? Here's how.

Republicans we talked to in Congress understand that the same way Democrats do. And it helps that my members aren’t professional advocates, they’re just Americans, wives and husbands, trying to keep their families together.

Your response was overwhelmingly supportive and it proved what I tell anyone who will listen: we have more in common together as people of faith and as families just trying to make ends meet than politicians and the mainstream news media wants us to believe.

A few days ago, I shared an update about our work with Congress to fix a loophole created by the Clinton administration that allows spouses of U.S. citizens to be deported even if they have no criminal record and have lived in the country for decades.

This is so heartbreaking, this story being told through the eyes of the children, is of a family being broken apart because they love each other so much and feared for Fidel's safety. Family separation punishes the entire family, but the children most of all.

THE NASTY OLD MFER NEEDS TO GO

Pam Bondi was Florida AG from 2011 - 2019, during which time investigations and cases against Epstein foundered. It’s not a stretch to suggest she had been a guest on the island and is invested in keeping the Epstein Files under lock and key.

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

guess who was Florida State Attorney General from 2010 to 2019 in the final years of Epstein's child sex trafficking ring based in Palm Beach, Florida it was Pam Bondi, guess what's she's doing now

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

And here we have Epstein talking to Bannon about how to unite Americans under Trump: hate immigrants. drive.google.com/file/d/1164r...

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

it's the ultimate flex of power and privilege. they largely escaped consequences for abuse, so why be careful about what's in writing?

The American Business Immigration Coalition has been an incredible partner for American Families United and AFU Action. We joined a mingle with them that reminded us of what we have in common: our shared commitment to fixing immigration policies to support American businesses and American families.

We also met with Democrat Dick Durbin, who has been a steadfast champion for AFU families and he believes in working across the aisle to support the rights of US citizens and their spouses.

We met with Republican John Moolenaar from Michigan. We've been in conversation with Rep Moolenaar for years, and we are hopeful that he will be a champion for the AFU Act soon! If Moolenaar is your representative, let him know you believe in common sense fixes to keep families together.

Thanks to our partners at ABIC and years of organizing ourselves, we held productive conversations with people like Republican Chuck Grassley, who was moved by the stories of US citizens harmed by our immigration system.

No single political party is responsible for failing our US citizen members, and no single political party will be capable of solving this problem alone. It will take Republicans and Democrats working together to protect the rights of our members.

Daniel, Erica, Julie, and Lucia showed up to bring the energy and hard work it takes to meet with so many offices, mostly Republicans, over just a few short days. You may already know Julie. Her husband, Nef, left the U.S. just days ago, choosing family separation over fear of what could happen.

We come from all walks of life, from all over America. We carry with us a simple belief in the sacredness of marriage and family, and an investment in the future so that young Andrew's generation doesn't have to keep fighting this same fight.

Most important of all, I want to give a huge shout-out to the members who joined us to tell their stories with a scrappy conviction that refuses to take "no" for an answer. None of us are activists. We're simply dedicated spouses trying to keep the people we love at home rather than separated.
