Yennifer England, a 32-year-old DACA recipient, nursing aide, and beloved mother, was targeted and detained by Texas DPS. She now faces permanent separation from her family, and deportation. A mother DESERVES to be with her children, period. 🔗 americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/daca-recip...

5th Circuit District Court of Appeals, U.S. District Judge David Alan Ezra said it best: “It just doesn’t make any sense to me unless one ignores the Constitution.” Emphasizing that "Texas is not a country," the time is NOW to continue educating community on KYR 🔗 deceleration.news/texas-federa...

Two notable updates on today's 287(g) list from ICE: 1️⃣ The two remaining Maryland sheriffs (Garrett + Washington counties) were finally removed, bringing us down to 38 states and 2 territories (Guam and CNMI) with active agreements. For context: governor.maryland.gov/news/press-r...

🚨Maryland sheriffs DROP 287(g) agreements with ICE despite threats🚨 In a move showcasing the reality ALL states should work towards, 7 of 9 Maryland counties terminated partnerships with ICE. Not all share in the sentiment, though, and more work still needs to be done 🔗 tinyurl.com/4bze7s5j

🚨The ILRC is outraged that due to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ failure to uphold our Constitution, parts of SB4 are in effect today, May 15🚨 Though a federal court blocked Texas from enforcing certain provisions, the illegal entry provision, which was not being challenged, is in effect. 🧵

New: Attorney General Ken Paxton said Wednesday he is investigating the Dallas County sheriff for allegedly refusing to seek a formal agreement to cooperate with ICE. Even without an agreement, the Dallas County Jail was among the nation’s top 10 lockups for ICE detainers.

DHS officials have insisted children were not zip-tied during the midnight raid in Chicago. But a 16-year-old boy says he and his mom were zip-tied outside the apartment building. DHS called that an “abject lie.” www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The future of our movements is intersectionality. The very fabric of our society is bound up in understanding that immigration was a flashpoint for the surveillance state to GROW 👇🏽 Companies like Palantir are working overtime and reaping the benefits of selling our data and exposing our image.

Since 2025, at least 261 DACA recipients have been arrested — 75 of them in Texas. At least 86 of them have been deported, according to DHS. The detentions have alarmed DACA recipients, who for the past 14 years believed that they would be protected from deportation if they don’t commit crimes.

The Trump administration is trying to take land owned by the Catholic Church along the border with Mexico for their border wall. The Diocese of Las Cruces is fighting back. But this is connected to a larger issue along the border: the expansion of the border wall no matter what. My story:

What exactly IS the economic detriment of Trump’s terrorizing immigration enforcement? 🚨 Mass deportations are NOT benefitting the labor market, they are NOT creating new jobs for U.S.-born workers 🚨 The data doesn’t lie — immigration bolsters our economy. 🔗 @npr.org www.npr.org/sections/pla...

Earlier: “It’s basically like: Either work with them, or they’re going to do it anyway. I know a lot of landowners down here don’t really have the means to fight back in court, or the means to get legal representation, or even know that process.”

New from 404 Media: spoke to four people who attended a trade show where senior ICE officials spoke about how much Palantir is supercharging their arrests. List of 20 million people on ICE agents phones now; increased chance of successful arrest from 28 to 80% www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

Intersectional lenses allow us to analyze the harms we’re seeing for what they are — emboldened by our existence in a technocratic capitalist hellscape. Allowing Palantir tech to ensure our communities stay vulnerable to the attacks of ICE thugs does not make ANY of us ANY SAFER.

🚨 Hawai’i formally joins other states in the fight against ICE collusion, REFUSING cooperation with federal immigration enforcement🚨 “They’re targeting all of us. We have to protect Hawaiʻi. And in the process, we protect the country.” 🔗 www.civilbeat.org/2026/05/with...

The point has always been dehumanizing our neighbors in an attempt to force them further into the margins. We are BEYOND cruelty. Immigrant truckers are the latest community targeted by the admin — losing their licenses, and with that, their livelihoods. 🔗 www.texastribune.org/2026/05/11/t...

Stephen Miller’s broken promise that mass deportations would equal jobs for gringo workers is now peer-reviewed. Removing migrants actually lost jobs for the native born workforce. migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-mi...

New: Plans to build portions of the border wall in Big Bend National Park are off after bipartisan backlash over the proposed construction, a top U.S. Customs and Border Patrol official told the Washington Examiner.

It’s been OVER two years since FCI Dublin shuttered, and the Bureau of Prisons is proposing to permanently deactivate the prison. However, immigrant rights activists say they want the facility torn down and repurposed in a positive way. 🔗 www.ktvu.com/news/immigra...

Dozens of bills were rejected by the Texas Legislature over nearly 60 years, @propublica.org and The Texas Tribune found. Some measures would have prohibited youth camps and new construction in high-risk flood areas.

The immigration machine continues displaying disdain for human life as it steamrolls community members. DACA recipients face a new reality: longer renewal times are making them deportable 🚨 Without ability to work on the line — cruelty is the ONLY justification. documentedny.com/2026/05/01/d...

With 20 judges purged from the LARGEST immigration hub in the U.S. in San Francisco on Good Friday, thousands of our neighbors and community members are left in a state of limbo. The closure comes during dramatic cuts in judicial staffing under the Trump admin 🔗 sfstandard.com/2026/05/03/s...

🚨 DOJ just closed SF’s immigration court 8 months early, leaving 15,000+ cases in limbo. This was one of the country’s major hubs for asylum cases & now THOUSANDS face confusion, delays, & uncertainty.

If you’re wondering whether your local police or sheriff’s departments work with ICE, the answer is YES. It’s always yes. The question is not are my local law enforcement agencies working with ICE, but how much? 🔗 theilrc.substack.com/p/the-many-w...

Texas lawmakers will be able to draw more aggressively partisan maps for the state House, Senate and education board when they return in 2027 following a Supreme Court ruling that weakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.

The Trump admin is expanding its draconian efforts by focusing on accelerating the deportation of migrant children in U.S. custody. Babies as young as four are being forced to stand rushed hearings with no legal counsel or support. We are allowing the abuse of children. www.cnn.com/2026/04/28/p...

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

The Trump admin is pushing to strip citizenship from Americans to achieve its reprehensible mass deportation goals. The ILRC condemns this scare tactic designed to send the message to citizens who once naturalized that they are second-class citizens. Our statement 🔗 www.ilrc.org/about-us/pre...

Rather than protect ALL communities from the Houston Police Department’s unconstitutional collaboration with ICE since 2025, City Council voted to eliminate an ordinance that set clear parameters and 4th amendment protections for Houstonians. Our statement 👉🏽 🔗 www.ilrc.org/about-us/pre...

“San Antonio now ranks fourth, not ninth, in the county in regard to most ICE arrests in the nation," said Priscilla Olivarez, of the ILRC. "We are seeing arrests at immigration court, at ICE check-in appointments in our neighborhoods, and even our elementary schools." www.tpr.org/news/2026-04...

Three Houston City Council members pushed for a proposal limiting ICE collaboration with HPD — and it passed. Showing us what our local electeds can do, and what WE can push our electeds to do in the fight against ICE terror. A step in the right direction. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/hou...

ICE is still wreaking havoc on our streets - the violence is escalating. Our communities remain terrorized despite the news cycle moving onto other offshoots of this unhinged and authoritarian administration. Today there was another violent shooting in Stanislaus County, CA at the hands of ICE.

We know none of this is constitutional. We know the law is arbitrary for those in power. A new tracker located over 300 Habeas cases wherein the government defied court orders. The way this impacts our communities and their cases is a matter of life and death, literally. 🔗 shorturl.at/QNc21

NEW: Florida’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission police—yes, the agency responsible for wildlife conservation and endangered species—are performing dozens of license plate lookups on Flock cameras for ICE, according to public records that show details of the searches.

Gas is up, our taxes fund bombs in Iran, food cost is up, and Donald Trump is requesting MORE money to continue ripping families apart. The latest budget includes a demand for up to 30K beds in family detention facilities, and MILLIONS for adjacent detention support 🔗 www.notus.org/immigration/...

Renee Good should still be alive today.

Texas IS ground zero for testing immigration enforcement. Advocates have long posited that education and other public goods might be next. Changes impacting ability to obtain drivers licenses, attend school, and apply for work are wreaking havoc for many. 🔗 www.texastribune.org/2026/04/02/t...

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

ICE arrests are up in 2026, and Stanislaus County is no outlier. On average, eight people a day are arrested by ICE per month in Northern California. Many of those people are still unaware of their rights. Red Cards, amongst other things, can help families prepare 🔗 amp.modbee.com/news/local/a...
