Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s son on Wednesday said that his father would not have tried to flee a law enforcement stop: “Had my father seen an emblem of ICE, or an emblem that says anything about law enforcement agency, my father would have complied."

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be with us today. ICE fatally shot Lorenzo, a beloved Houston community-member and father, Tuesday evening. Since then, HPD has engaged in the typical victim-blaming tactics we’ve seen against other victims nationwide. 🔗 www.ilrc.org/about-us/pre...

Gutting asylum protections in an attempt to kick out as many of our migrant neighbors as possible on the heels of this catastrophic Venezuelan earthquake where a flight of over 100 people were sent to their possible deaths — This is violence. Fully contrived, fully thought-out, executed violence.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court in a 6-3 vote UPHOLDS birthright citizenship, affirming the default rule that all persons born in the United States (with narrow exceptions) are U.S. citizens at birth. A total LOSS for President Trump and the effort to rewrite the 14th Amendment.

The latest Supreme Court decisions pose difficulties for Green Card holders, per @kqednews.kqed.org Advocates cite the problem being the ruling allows our government to “supply evidence of a crime after the fact, rather than at the border” eroding the presumption of innocence. 🔗 sl1nk.com/7xtdljm

New: A 63-year-old man died in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Laredo this month, marking at least the fifth death in Texas ICE detention centers this year, a quarter of the nationwide total, as the fatalities have skyrocketed to a record pace not seen in decades.

These news on the same exact day that the Trump admin attacks TPS relief, impacting our migrant neighbors escaping both violence AND natural disasters. The calculated cruelty of this admin can absolutely never be overstated. Our support is with those on the ground in Venezuela.

The Prairieland anti-ICE protesters sentencing is an example of the arbitrary nature of our policing systems demanding extrajudicial punishment. Ranging from 30 to 100 years, these sentences are “death by incarceration.” Read more from MJF 👇🏽 www.muslimsforjustfutures.org/blog/mjfstat...

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Supreme Court struck a BLOW to lawful permanent residents 👇🏽 We denounce a ruling handed down today by the conservative Supreme Court justices giving immigration officers MORE power to remove lawful permanent residents from the U.S., facilitating deportation. 🧵

Texas government has the resources to begin finding a way, but instead the bulk of city and town budgets go to racist schemes like Operation Lone Star, or other policing ploys that burn up taxpayer dollars instead of servicing local public goods. Water is political.

Haitian migrants have always been under attack as one of the most marginalized groups within immigrant communities. A group of TPS recipients claim that the Trump administration failed to follow legal processes before attempting to end those protections for Haitians 🔗 www.npr.org/2026/06/16/n...

Geo Group, one of the largest private prison contractors in the country, asked ICE to make it easier for them to mistreat immigrants in their custody — and ICE went along with it. Our government should be on the side of the people, not helping private corporations violate our rights.

Immigration enforcement and allowing the state of Texas to function like its own government has its consequences for the ENTIRE state impacting ALL Texans. Fascism has been here — give them your land that you’ve worked, tilled, and owned for their racist immigration schemes or they’ll just take it.

The World Cup trudges on as we see players and fans face racist immigration policies — the ILRC is featured in this article about the tournament by @aftonbladetkultur.bsky.social 👇🏽 People are attending games less and less out of fear of immigration enforcement. www.aftonbladet.se/senastenytt/...

Despite claiming DHS “will never break the Constitution, and we’re not going to break the law,” Mullin refuses to vow to abide by rulings from judges regarding the Department of Justice acting illegally. This is DHS’s longest funding lapse in U.S. history. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Continuing to fund Trump’s immigration enforcement triggers split in the senate as members point to the affordability crisis being front of mind for voters in 2026. The deal includes provisions that protect Trump, his family, and his businesses via the I.R.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

Violence isn’t just physical harm — state-sanctioned violence includes denial of access to necessities, like food or healthcare. In Louisiana, tracking laws freeze Medicare access for migrant neighbors, making basic healthcare inaccesible for non-citizen families. lailluminator.com/2026/06/02/i...

"All this effort on the part of DHS to keep people from seeing into the facilities, and to keep those trapped inside from describing what is happening there, suggests that ICE feels that they have something to hide," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

🚨 TEXAS 🚨 2023’s SB4 law is currently in FULL EFFECT across the state, allowing state authorities to arrest AND deport anyone they suspect to have crossed illegally into the U.S. Where suspicion alone is enough, racism finds a home. CC: @texastribune.org www.texastribune.org/2026/05/14/t...

The Trump admin is considering a policy that would allow immigration officials at USCIS to reject some asylum applications without ever interviewing the applicant.

🚨 The USCIS policy memo targeting Green Card applicants is the latest tool used to separate families and achieve mass deportation 🚨 We condemn USCIS for once again violently misusing law and policy to bolster the Trump admin’s expansive racist agenda. 🧵
