UPDATE: Today a federal court blocked the unprecedented efforts by the IRS to share data on millions of taxpayers with ICE. This is an important win for millions of people, and represents the first injunction against this unlawful data sharing.

Yesterday, Homeland Security proposed to repeal the 2022 public charge rule. This would allow officers to arbitrarily deny green cards to immigrants based on their health, economic situation, or potential use of benefits like health care & food assistance. Learn more: www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

IPS’ response to the lawsuit from Indy AG demonstrates a commitment to ALL the students they serve. “We respectfully hope that all concerned parties will recognize the heavy burden that silly litigation & political posturing places on students, families, & taxpayers.” myips.org/blog/distric...

[1] This morning, federal agents entered a learning center without a warrant and detained a Pre-K teacher in front of the children she cares for. In a video, the woman can be seen telling the agents that she has documentation. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

It should go without saying that these violent attacks on immigrant communities are deeply traumatizing for immigrant children. @wendydcervantes.bsky.social, Rebecca Ullrich, and Hannah Matthews wrote about this for @clasp.org in 2018. www.clasp.org/wp-content/u...

This is NOT okay and flies in the face of decades of shared belief that places that care for children should be safe havens: Child care worker detained by #ICE inside a Chicago day care as children watched 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil... via @19thnews.org

Loan forgivness should NOT be an incentive to join ICE and terrorize our communities. See this new piece from Christian Collins @clasp.org www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Nearly a month into the government shutdown, millions of families are paying the price for deliberate policy choices by the Trump Administration and Congress. This is a 🚨manufactured🚨 crisis that’s putting jobs, food, and care at risk.

Grateful for @clasp.org alumni who continue to do good around the country, and help make connections. Spent 3 days in Colorado with my team talking to immigrant parents and child care providers. Heart is tender and full.

There are countless ways to stand up for those being targeted across the country. As communities make their voices heard against civil rights violations and abuses of power, there is also an opportunity to support immigrants in your community who are facing separation, detention, or deportation.

BREAKING: We are suing to block Gov. Bill Lee's unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Memphis, which violates Tennessee state law and Constitution. We're proud to bring this challenge with @democracyforward.org and Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison, PLC on behalf of seven TN elected officials.

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: CNN found over 100 U.S. citizen children left without parents this year because of Trump’s mass deportation machine. “This is the new family separation crisis,” said Zain Lakhani, director of migrant rights and justice at the @wrcommission.bsky.social.

Justice Kavanaugh says U.S. citizens shouldn’t worry about race-based immigration stops b/c officers “promptly let the individual go.” But @propublica.org found more than 170 U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. Some "have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased & shot by immigration agents."

Wondering what's actually happening with #DACA? Our latest update covers: ➖ The current status of DACA ➖ What to be aware of under the Trump administration ➖ What to do now www.nilc.org/articles/wha...

CTAN is honored to collaborate with @justiceleaders.bsky.social, National Parents Union, and compassionate partners to share a Love Letter to Immigrant Families. Please share widely to let immigrant parents know they are seen, heard, & cared for! childrenthriveaction.org/2025/10/stay...

We urge @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social to sign #AB495. Immigrant parents face the risk of being torn from their children. Let's give parents the legal tools to ensure their kids are safe with trusted caregivers. ☎️ 916-445-2841: “I support AB 495 because it will keep families together.”

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

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!

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-...
