The rise in detentions and deportations is alarming. This campaign is about unity, justice, and making sure that those who have been pushed through the school-to-prison pipeline don’t face a future of deportation. Let's keep pushing for change. #PardonRefugees @caasanfrancisco.bsky.social

"Chaofeng Ge, a 32-year-old citizen of China in ICE custody, was pronounced dead by the Clearfield County coroner at approximately 6 a.m. on Tuesday, according to ICE." abcnews.go.com/US/ice-detai...

Purdue student, Yeonsoo Go, was released from ICE detention yesterday. Despite having lived in the U.S. for more than two years on a valid visa, ICE had no legal basis to detain her under its own expedited removal policy. wapo.st/45z20XT

Yeonsoo Go is a 20-year old student. She was attending her court hearing last week when ICE agents detained her as she exited the court and transferred her to Louisiana. These courthouse arrests are a part of a larger strategy by ICE to bypass due process and undermine the legal system.

Will, a green card holder, was detained at SFO after returning from his brother’s wedding in Korea. He’s been held in secondary inspection for eight days. Will you stand with us and sign the petition to demand his release? bit.ly/45kHCZA www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Last week, CAA responded to the ICE arrest of a Chinese community member who was attending his immigration court hearing—a blatant attempt to punish someone for trying to follow the legal process. ⬇️ missionlocal.org/2025/07/sf-i...

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" has big implications for Chinese and immigrant families. CAA's immigrants rights manager Jose Ng breaks the bill down with Jessica J. Ho for The Sunset Connection. Give it a listen 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2449699/epis...

The Bay Area says NO to an ICE detention facility in Dublin! Attacks on our immigrant communities remind us of the unjust incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors now and forever!

In a San Francisco court, a man missed his hearing after the Sheriff’s Office FAILED to provide proper translations. His attorney asked to reschedule, but the judge refused. This is shameful. Language access is a LEGAL RIGHT and crucial for a fair society. davisvanguard.org/2025/07/san-...

This morning, SCOTUS issued a 6-3 ruling allowing Trump’s EO attacking birthright citizenship to partially take effect. SF City Attorney David Chiu, CAA, CARECEN, and Asian Law Caucus, and Norman Wong, descendant of Wong Kim Ark, gathered in SF to express our outrage and condemnation.

The TX Governor has signed SB17 into law banning immigrants from owning property. These bills aren't about national security. They're about fearmongering & discrimination -- targeting immigrants, especially Chinese, Iranian, Russian & North Korean communities. www.courthousenews.com/texas-govern...

It has been a challenging few weeks...and months, but we have to take these moments to celebrate. Thank you to the San Francisco Immigrants Rights Commission for honoring CAA and LAN with the Immigrant Leadership Awards. And congrats to our fellow honorees!

Is your family member confused about the latest iteration of the travel ban? Not to worry -- CAA is hosting our Cantonese/Mandarin immigrants rights workshop on Friday, 6/20 so community members stay updated on latest version of the travel ban. RSVP at (415) 761-3222 is required for this workshop.

Today, AAPI groups in Chinatown came together for a press conference to respond to the overreach of the federal government, political violence, and renewed attacks on immigrant communities. Along with D3 Sup. Sauter, we want our Chinese immigrant community to know that you are not alone.

From LA to Sacramento, and all over the country, the people say: NO KINGS 🚫👑 NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL 🦋 CAA has created bilingual English-Chinese resources for immigants navigating these hostile political landscapes: caasf.org/2025/01/comm... caasf.org/2025/05/fact...

Thank you Mayor @danielluriesf for taking this important step in reaffirming San Francisco’s commitment to our immigrant communities.

We and 60+ orgs are joining @asianlawcaucus.org, Advancing Justice Asian Americans - AAJC , and the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality in filing an amicus brief urging the court to fulfill their role in preserving the right to due process and ensuring judicial review of executive orders.

ICE continues to terrorize immigrant communities this week forcing Immigration Judges in SF to shut down their courtrooms for safety reasons. ICE presence means people have to make the difficult decision between attending their court hearings and face arrest or abandon their court cases.

The recent wave of ICE arrests across the country — and the militarized campaign of terror carried out by ICE in LA — are no longer about immigration enforcement. These actions are part of a broader strategy to intimidate is and undermine civil liberties. We must speak out, show up, and organize.

24 hours to Celebration of Justice 56 as we honor Former Assemblymember Phil Ting for his leadership in the California State Legislature and his steadfast service to the AAPI community. Hope to see you there!
