On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerted legal service providers serving immigrant children of their plans to incentivize the children to leave the country and abandon their legal rights to seek safety in the United States.

Two El Paso DACA recipients have been released from ICE detention after federal judges ruled their arrests unlawful. Attorneys and advocates say the rulings should send a message to the Trump administration that it cannot arbitrarily detain individuals protected under the program. #HomeIsHere

Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywd...

CTAN's own @wendydcervantes.bsky.social at @clasp.org writes in @washingtonpost.com : Immigration actions harm kids. DHS has a responsibility to preserve the rights of parents, no matter who is in the White House. #PostLetters

The National Immigration Summit is happening NOW! Thank you to our panelists for sharing resources and leading the discussion on policies impacting immigrant children and families! #forchildren @wendydcervantes.bsky.social @pifcoalition.bsky.social @theyoungcenter.bsky.social @the-ilrc.bsky.social

"This disturbing story mirrors what we've seen repeatedly with this administration's immigration actions: our children are the ones made to suffer most," said @wendydcervantes.bsky.social

We are grateful to our network partners, @aft.org & @neatoday.bsky.social, the two largest U.S. teacher unions, for joining this important litigation that challenges the Trump Admin’s move to allow for immigration arrests near schools.

Great piece by @lydiadepillis.bsky.social on the Census poverty numbers & the disparities by race, with a look to the impact for immigrant families, who will face even more challenges when tax changes & other provisions from Trump budget bill take effect. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b... @clasp.org

CTAN is outraged by the Trump Admin's attempt to forcibly remove dozens of immigrant kids over the holiday weekend.Read our statement and our partners' statements below: childrenthriveaction.org/2025/09/chil... @clasp.org

BREAKING: We filed an emergency lawsuit to stop the Trump admin from unlawfully expelling hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan children from the U.S. The targeting of children is vile. We will use every tool at our disposal to stop the administration from sending any child to danger.

At a time when ICE is detaining more people than ever before in history – and reports of mistreatment, overcrowding & unsanitary conditions are growing – real-time oversight has never been more important. This admin cannot hide from Congress or the American people. We will make sure of it in court.

This news following @democracyforward.org's legal challenge is a direct result of collective action by educators, families, and advocates across the country. If these reports are true, this is a major victory for public education and the communities it serves.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

Don’t be fooled by what the GOP wants you to believe about the #BigBetrayalBill. Not only will 2 million+ citizen kids lose the #CTC because a parent lacks a SSN, but the poorest of kids-1 in 3-will lose access. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

CHIRLA was proud to join the CA Latino Caucus to stand up against ICE raids in LA & support #SJR9, a resolution that condemns these attacks & demands justice for our immigrant communities. We won’t be silent in the face of cruelty. These inhumane raids must end NOW! #StopTheRaids #SomosCHIRLA

The House just passed the devastating budget reconciliation bill. Trump is expected to sign it tomorrow. This bill guts support for families with low incomes, immigrants, workers, women & children. But CLASP is fighting back—our work is just beginning. www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

This is yet another effort to undermine the Constitution & strip citizenship. Children of naturalized citizens are intentional targets, just as newborns are the targets of efforts to dismantle #BirthrightCitizenship. www.npr.org/2025/06/30/n...

The time is NOW to help stop this #BigBadBetrayalBill! Call your U.S. Rep. by texting NO to 1-888-418-5699 & we'll connect you to your Representative's office. https://actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns/call-your-representative-to-vote-no-on-the-republican-budget-tax-bill/?source=bsky.mr#BigBadBetrayalBill#MomSky

SHAME on 50 Republican Senators who voted for health care cuts, for millions more hungry kids, for higher grocery costs, for hospital closures, for public school & child care cuts, for unfairly harming immigrant families & more. Call your Rep. to stop this! actionnetwork.org/call_campaig... #MomSky

Women spend an average of nearly 300 hours each on caregiving annually, equating to more than $683 billion in unpaid care work – $4,900 for each woman in the U.S. #PaidLeaveForAll https://nationalpartnership.org/if-americans-were-paid-for-their-caregiving-they-would-make-more-than-1-1-trillion/

It was an honor to participate in a rally w/Rep Ramirez, other MOC, and fierce advocates to condemn the #BigUglyBill that will result in millions of kids losing health care, nutrition assistance, & the #CTC—all to benefit the wealthy and expand the attacks on immigrant families.

www.cbpp.org/press/statem... Senate Republicans Can Still Abandon Disastrous, Rushed Reconciliation Bill

The fight is far from over, because the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment has been upheld in case after case. But today's decision could still put millions of newborns at risk of statelessness depending on what zipcode they are born in. See our statement. #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship

This ruling is cruel, chaotic, and unconstitutional. We must act. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship. CLASP stands with families and calls on all leaders to stop this attack on our children and our future. www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Stop ICE from abducting our immigrant dads. Our families are beautiful. youtu.be/1B8XY8RywXs?...

While ICE kidnaps families, Israel wipes them out. “A poem by a young Iranian poet Parnia Abbasi who, along with her family, all civilians, was killed today in a brutal and unlawful Israeli attack in the Sattarkhan neighbourhood of Tehran.” www.pamenarpress.com/post/parnia-...

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

Stop attacking Dreamers! #FreeCaroline #HomeIsHere www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

We are in an "all-hands-on-deck" fight for the future. One of the best ways to help is to urge the Senate to oppose the Reconciliation bill which will turbo-charge attacks on immigrants, our communities, and our Democracy.

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

I just spoke with @padilla.senate.gov. He’s standing strong. The DHS statement is wildly inaccurate and filled with falsehoods. The video shows you everything you need to know.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Make no mistake: what we are witnessing is a path toward authoritarianism. We must all come together and fight for our communities and our rights. More from NILC President @kicamatos.bsky.social ⬇️

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

Watching this video sickened my stomach, the manhandling of a United States Senator, Senator Padilla. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/a...

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

The image of a sitting U.S. Senator being violently thrown to the ground and handcuffed—for simply demanding answers from DHS Secretary Noem at a public press conference—is nothing short of chilling. This is not how a democracy operates.

Today, we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) —which has been a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived in the USA when they were children—and demand that Congress do its part to protect the policy! #HomeIsHere

Celebrating @DACA’s 13th birthday! It’s been a long journey, but Dreamers continue to lead the way. Thank you Sentors Padilla and Durbin for fighting for a pathway to citizenship for our young people!

From @momsrising.org to @childrens-rights.bsky.social, advocates demand Congress intervene. This is not just a policy failure—it is a moral one. ALL children deserve dignity, safety, and protection under the law. childrenthriveaction.org/2025/04/chil...

There is no justification for the fear and trauma these immigration actions are causing to reverberate through our immigrant families and communities. Family separation and the fear of detention and deportation affects our children in ways that will be felt for generations to come.

“Many families want their children in bilingual education programs, and these workers are essential for serving an increasingly diverse child population,” -my awesome bawss Wendy Cervantes! www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/a...

The Trump Administration's anti-immigrant policies hinder families' access to child care and providers' participation in the child care workforce. Our latest brief with @nwlc.org outlines how these attacks are harming children, families, and early educators. www.clasp.org/publications...

The U.S. House of Representatives' reconciliation bill guts health care, restricts access to food, sacrifices our higher education system, and punishes immigrant families, all to provide more tax breaks for wealthy people and corporations. See our statement: www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Imagine losing nearly half of your team while trying to help millions of children and families. That's what's happening at the federal agency behind Head Start, child care subsidies, adoption support, domestic violence prevention, and energy assistance. Cuts have consequences.🔗 bit.ly/4kmmhEW
