Reminder, immigrant rights are human rights. The constitution, due process, and equal justice protections apply to immigrants too.

As #BadBunny said "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" and we're showing love to immigrant communities and all those who show up to support and protect them. Love is certainly more powerful than hate.

Thank you NAEYC for speaking out about how enforcement actions are harming children. Kids should be getting ready for school and seeing their friends, not struggling to find clean water in detention centers or worrying about being separated from their parents. www.naeyc.org/about-us/new...

NQRP is Acacia's program to defend people in immigration detention who can't defend themselves due to a mental disability. After DOGE slashed NQRP, a federal judge ruled that its funding must be restored for the next year. But we must safeguard access to due process permanently: ▶️ bit.ly/43kAV9u

JUDGE: “Treating attendance in immigration court as a game of detention roulette is not consistent with the constitutional guarantee of due process.” www.rawstory.com/judge-267388...

By directing law enforcement to interrogate unaccompanied immigrant children inside gov't-run shelters, the Trump admin. is intimidating kids, while turning spaces meant for their healing into spaces of fear. Our statement with @acaciajustice.bsky.social www.theyoungcenter.org/press-releas...

The budget bill is a direct assault on immigrant children’s health and safety. It would let the government detain immigrant families indefinitely. 📢 We demand protection for children, not punishment. Tell Congress NO!

We stand with @theyoungcenter.bsky.social @acaciajustice.bsky.social @immigrantjustice.bsky.social @childrens-rights.bsky.social + @chrclla.bsky.social in calling on Congress to vote NO on the budget bill. Take action now: youthlaw.org/voteno

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.

Anne's words resonate with us today.

Trump is taking away legal services from the same families his first admin separated. 📰 Today, a federal court is holding a hearing to determine if the admin is violating a court settlement requiring it to provide these services.

Statement from our partners at @the-ilrc.bsky.social www.ilrc.org/press-room/i... "ILRC ... witnessed the heartbreaking arrests of several people, including a family with four children—this video can be watched here. These actions traumatized other families there for court hearings."

DAILY REMINDER: Children should be treated like children. Immigrant children, non-immigrant children, doesn't matter. But, in San Antonio, unidentified government agents zip-tied children as young as NINE at immigration court. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

📣Read our explainer with @youthlaw.bsky.social @immigrantjustice.bsky.social @acaciajustice.bsky.social and others that outlines how the Trump admin. is undercutting Congress’ clear mandate to separate the care & custody of children from DHS’ enforcement goals. More here: bit.ly/4kzyZA6

NEW: Today, the Trump admin filed to end the Flores Settlement-an agreement that provides basic safeguards for children in federal immigration custody. We, @chrclla.bsky.social & @childrens-rights.bsky.social will keep fighting to defend these children’s health & safety. youthlaw.org/news/trump-a...

The Flores Settlement remains the primary — and sometimes only — tool for protecting detained immigrant children’s freedom, health, and safety. We will not stop fighting for them. 🌼

👉 Today, the Trump administration filed a motion in court to end the Flores Settlement - an agreement that provides basic safeguards for the treatment of children in federal immigration custody. Why does this matter? Let’s break it down: 🧵👇

"Without funding, that 7-year old boy sitting on the wooden bench in the courtroom, waiting for his case to be called, will have to continue to defend himself in immigration court without an advocate by his side." For more on CHIRP, continue reading in @sacbee.com ▶️ www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

Today, the GOP budget bill heads to markup—an egregious attack on immigrant kids. It guts TVPRA & Flores, allows indefinite detention, mandates body searches, and holds kids for ransom. Congress must say NO. @acaciajustice.bsky.social @theyoungcenter.bsky.social

The Acacia Center for Justice welcomes a federal court's preliminary injunction that temporarily stops the government from withdrawing services or funds for direct legal representation services to unaccompanied children 🐻 ⚖️ acaciajustice.org/acacia-cente...

This is absolutely family separation. The trauma inflicted on children has lifelong implications. This is cruel and inhumane.

What can you call this other than family separation? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I wrote a letter for the Action Network letter campaign: Restore Legal Services for Unaccompanied Children This week, the government froze legal services for unaccompanied children, leaving over 26,000 children without access to their legal counsel Send a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/rest...

Thank you for speaking out for unaccompanied kids! Our network is doing the best they can for their clients, but if funding isn't restored soon, over 26,000 kids will be forced to go to court alone. You can take action at tinyurl.com/protect-kids
