In the #GideonvWainwright case, SCOTUS ruled 63 yrs ago: “lawyers in criminal courts are necessities, not luxuries.” Among those excluded were those facing deportation. In the age of mass deportations, immigrants face the full power of the federal government—without a lawyer.

Access to representation is essential to ensuring everyone has a real chance to defend their rights in court. The #FairnessToFreedom campaign thanks our partners for driving this critical litigation and working toward a fairer immigration system. @npnewamericans.bsky.social

#Breaking: A federal court blocked key parts of a sweeping immigration appeals rule that would have gutted immigrants’ ability to appeal deportation decisions. Though more work is still needed to ensure the rule is defeated, this decision protects a critical safeguard in our immigration system.

Joined by @npnewamericans.bsky.social & the Fairness to Freedom coalition, we’re telling Congress: enough is enough. Members of the Senate, you have the power to stop this: safeguard families, protect due process, & put fairness & accountability first. Vote NO on the DHS federal spending bill.

ICE continues to abduct people from immigration court, tear families apart, and detain people in inhumane conditions. Recent operations have even resulted in fatal shootings. This is not public safety, this is flat out cruelty.

Last week, the House of Representatives passed a federal spending bill that funnels more resources to the Department of Homeland Security to further expand its violent detention and deportation agenda.

We wrapped up Citizenship Month and year 3 of Naturalize Now, Houston! Special thanks to Council Member Julian Ramirez for presenting the City of Houston’s Citizenship Day proclamation, made possible through the CC4C network collaboration.

Today on #CitizenshipDay2025 we recognize that naturalization is more than a status change; it's a declaration of belonging. It ensures that our communities are involved in deciding and shaping our future. Take that final step and #NaturalizeNow www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSY2...

This month, we are joining forces with our partners at @aila.org, @naleoofficial.bsky.social, Citizenshipworks & @npnewamericans.bsky.social for AILA Citizenship Day! 🇺🇸

To naturalize is not a small step, but it is a powerful move that rewrites the story of who gets to lead this country. Our voices matter. And together, we decide what comes next. #CitizenshipDay2025 🦋 @npnewamericans.bsky.social

Vera’s ICE Detention Trends dashboard paints an alarming picture: ICE is tearing apart, detaining, and deporting immigrant communities across the United States. On August 10, 2025, a record-high 59K+ people were held in ICE detention. For more: www.vera.org/ice-detentio...

Right now, our communities are being arrested at routine court hearings, fast-tracked for deportation, and held in inhumane detention, often without a lawyer to represent them. This is an INSULT to our nation’s values of fairness and due process.

From arrests in homes, workplaces, traffic stops, and even immigration court, ICE is detaining an unprecedented number of people in inhumane conditions, the majority of whom have no access to lawyers. apnews.com/article/immi...

Today, President Trump declared a “public safety emergency,” placed Washington, D.C.’s police under federal control, and deployed 800 National Guard troops—even though local violent crime is at a 30-year low.

The people who power our country are being ripped from our communities.

In the past week, the Supreme Court handed down rulings that restrict access to gender-affirming care, weaken birthright protections, and allow religious beliefs to limit what students learn. To learn more, check out this explainer: instagram.com/p/DLaPkhYuPdK

For six months, the Trump administration has thrown everything it has at dismantling due process. These attacks on immigrant communities are no accident—they're designed to spread chaos and instill fear in anyone fighting for immigrants’ safety and justice. @npnewamericans.bsky.social

📢 Report out now! 📢 Our new report with @npnewamericans.bsky.social reveals how trade and immigration policies, as well as corporate greed, intersect to displace, exploit, and silence millions.

We always say our elected officials should stand up for us, and today, Senator Padilla did just that. His removal from DHS Secretary Noem's news conference is a disturbing reminder of how this administration handles accountability.

This is a moment of choosing. Will we allow authoritarianism to take root under the guise of law and order? Or will we resist, together? To get involved with local efforts happening visit: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

The community deserves to be protected from notario fraud. Congratulations to our members at FLIC on this major milestone — HB 915 will protect thousands of Floridians from falling victim to unauthorized immigration practitioners. Read: floridaphoenix.com/2025/05/23/a...

The House of Representatives has passed a budget bill that includes over $80 billion for mass detention, deportation, and family separation—a more than tenfold increase from last year’s budget.

It’s clear that Americans demand action to improve our immigration system. But new research from @npnewamericans.bsky.social shows that voters oppose Trump's vague and lawless targeting of all undocumented people, especially those with longstanding ties to the United States.

There’s a better way. We want longtime community members to remain with their families, because when everyone is safe, we all thrive. We need a path to citizenship, not this cruelty. #WeMakeAmericaWork @npnewamericans.bsky.social

Trump is separating families & denying them the right to legal defense from deportation. In just 100 days, the administration has: ➡️ Ended legal representation for children & adults ➡️ Detained & disappeared countless people ➡️ Fired immigration judges ➡️ Attacked immigration lawyers & NGOs

🧵Today is #TaxDay — and we’re shining a light on the people who help keep our country running: immigrants. From small businesses to essential jobs, immigrants are vital to our economy — and they pay MORE than their fair share.

🚨 Trump is addressing Congress in the joint session tonight. We’re here to check his immigration fear mongering. 🧵👇

The re-introduction of the #DreamAndPromiseAct is a welcome step forward that would strengthen families and communities while growing our economy and supporting the U.S. workforce. Congress must pass this bill to protect #Dreamers and #TPS holders. coalitionfortheamericandream.us/daca-economics

The #RefugeeBan is unjust and unlawful. Refugee advocates are in court today standing up for people impacted by the refugee ban – people seeking safety and the communities committed to welcoming them. Tune in to hear what’s at stake: www.youtube.com/live/TKT-CP9...

"This legislation hands a ‘blank check’ to the Trump administration to multiply ICE’s capacity to arrest, detain, and deport everyday people instead of making our immigration system more fair and workable." — @npnewamericans.bsky.social's Nicole Melaku

Today marks the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which led to the incarceration of 120,000+ Japanese Americans. Fear and prejudice fueled that injustice—just as similar narratives target immigrants and other marginalized communities today.

To my immigrant family and friends: You are loved. You are resilient. You belong. No matter the challenges we face, our communities are full of strength and beauty. This Valentine’s Day, let’s send love letters to our communities. #LoveLettersToImmigrants

Have you created a family preparedness plan? Being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency. If you haven’t yet, get the info you need here: www.wehaverights.us/create-an-em...
