“We’re all immigrants, in a way, since traveling has been part of our lives for centuries. Humans, like birds, move with the seasons to survive,” Qudrat Wasefi, a musician & #RefugeeStorytellersCollective member, tells @rollingstone.com. Read his story now⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

A confluence of factors threatens to reignite the conflict in #Ethiopia and #Tigray and destabilize the wider region. The Pretoria Agreement is the only path to peace. Sarah Miller and @qulshtm.bsky.social explain in their latest for @justsecurity.org www.refugeesinternational.org/just-securit...

The U.S. administration is quietly using a maze of third-country transfer deals to whisk asylum seekers and other immigrants to places where they have no ties—and where many face serious danger. 👀 We're teaming up with @humanrightsfirst.org to pull back the curtain on these deals. 🧵

"These inclusions recognize that people living in displacement face significant losses and damages from the impacts of climate change. They must be included in solutions." @jocelyngperry.bsky.social on her advocacy at #COP30 @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/mill...

“It still remains a very opaque process, and this is why we're hoping..to bring some transparency to the process.” Hourie Tafech of @refugeesinternational.org speaks with @tammam.bsky.social about new public forums of potential UN refugee chief candidates. #RethinkingHumanitarianism

🌐 R-Space is back in #Geneva this December — bolder and fully rooted in refugee leadership. We're convening 27 refugee-led sessions that will push forward conversations ranging from protection to localization and more. If you’ll be in Geneva, explore the program and stop by: shorturl.at/79JlD

The USCIS plan to reinterview resettled refugees is part of the Trump administration’s unprecedented delegalization of people who arrived on humanitarian pathways and erodes the U.S. as a nation of refuge. Full statement: www.refugeesinternational.org/statements-a...

RCUSA strongly condemns administration’s sweeping review of over 200,000 resettled refugees. Reopening these cases is a cruel exercise and wasteful of governmental resources. Read more here: rcusa.org/news-and-med...

CHIRLA stands with immigrant families at the House Oversight & Government Reform Shadow Field Hearing, Due Process for All: Exposing Trump’s Mass Deportation Machine. Our message is clear: No more raids. No more deaths. No one above the law. #StopTheRaids #NoDeportations #DueProcessForAll

RM @meeks.house.gov: Ending TPS for Burma, in the middle of the conflict there, endangers the lives of many Burmese, including human rights and democracy activists. It's cruel and will undermine the fight for democracy in Burma. The admin must reconsider this terrible decision.

Kilmar case has been a series of mistakes by govt— in original removal order, in removal despite withholding— and now govt assigned his asylum case to “asylum free” zone of Atlanta and insists on Liberia over Costa Rica as country of removal. All for reasons Ensign conveniently can’t explain. JFC

Orville Etoria, a Jamaican national who’d lived in New York for nearly 50 years, was shackled and put on an ICE flight to Eswatini. “It helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt, going to another land in shackles and chains,” he said. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/dLJ4SQ

IDP protection and response cannot be on the chopping block as the UN reshapes its work. As the UN moves to a new structure, and as a new High Commissioner for Refugees will soon be selected, IDPs must remain a priority. Read more from Sarah Miller. www.refugeesinternational.org/perspectives...

Our polling with @dataforprogress.org shows the vast majority of Americans support resettling refugees. Then why are we closing our doors to them?

This is a huge deal and so worrisome. Americans overwhelmingly support access to asylum at ports of entry. This isn’t about illegal crossings. It’s whether someone can be turned away when they knock on the door. Will SCOTUS just say it’s fine to turn people away? cgrs.uclawsf.edu/en/news/scot...

BREAKING: We won a court order to block the unlawful National Guard deployment to Memphis. Today’s ruling makes clear that no governor or president can deploy military force into our communities without legal authority, public accountability, or a genuine emergency. www.nilc.org/press/tennes...

NEW REPORT: #Ethiopia can modernize its refugee regime and set a regional example, but only if ambition is matched by dedicated financing and steady follow-through on its own commitments. Our latest report from @qulshtm.bsky.social shares how: www.refugeesinternational.org/reports-brie...

Polling from the Lab, @refugeesinternational.org, & @dataforprogress.org couldn’t be clearer: The administration has no mandate for its immigration policies. We must tell our elected leaders we want communities that are welcoming. www.refugeeadvocacylab.org/resources/st...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The ERRs are a grassroots, volunteer-led humanitarian network providing life-saving aid to civilians affected by the ongoing violence in #Sudan. As violence and genocide in Sudan continues in #ElFasher, #Darfur, and the Kordofans, it’s imperative that we not forget those operating on the frontlines.

Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms have been awarded the #Rafto Prize! Amidst ongoing violence in #Sudan, these brave volunteers risk their lives to provide lifesaving aid to civilians. Call for their protection and support their vital work @sudanmutualaid.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/Iu3hD...

The Trump administration's foreign aid cuts are pinching Mexico’s already overburdened asylum process. "The lack of services, in addition to the long wait times for legal status, leave migrants vulnerable." Rachel Schmidtke shares more with @kjzz.org.

As the UAE-government owned Emirates sponsors the NBA Cup, the #UAE sponsors genocide in #Darfur and the RSF’s rampage in #Sudan. We call on @nba.com to END their partnership with the UAE and make this the LAST Emirates NBA Cup. Join the call. Add your name. www.speakoutonsudan.org

📣 EVENT 11/4: We are pleased to announce that @sarajacobs.house.gov will share remarks at our event marking five years since the #Tigray war. Join us for this critical discussion on what must be done to help advance a sustainable peace in #Ethiopia. RSVP: refugeesinternational.org/events-and-t...

Last year, we shared this video calling out the #UAE for fueling atrocities in #Sudan and genocide in #Darfur. A year later, #ElFasher has fallen to the RSF, a UAE-backed paramilitary group. The Emirates @nba.com Cup starts today. Say NO to sportswashing. #keepeyesonSudan youtu.be/GCTwGUuXeJs?...

RCUSA is outraged by the White House’s Presidential Determination on refugee admissions for Fiscal Year 2026, which sets the refugee admissions goal at a devastatingly low 7,500 – the lowest ever set in the 45-year history of the USRAP See RCUSA's full statement here: rcusa.org/news-and-med...

🧵A poll from @refugeeadvocacylab.bsky.social, @refugeesinternational.org & Data for Progress shows that the Trump administration is completely out of step with what Americans want. www.refugeeadvocacylab.org/resources/st...

RM @meeks.house.gov: Devastating reports of atrocities perpetrated by the RSF in El Fasher. Civilians must be allowed to safely leave the city and the RSF must immediately facilitate unfettered access for emergency aid. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

I am sickened by the images of the RSF seizing El Fasher in Sudan. The UAE needs to cease their support NOW. The Trump Administration needs to invest in a real peace process that is not rigged to benefit external backers of this horrific war.

🚨Refugees International has received direct reports of mass killings by the RSF in El Fasher, #Darfur. Those with influence over the RSF—chief among them the UAE—must end the ongoing atrocities and open humanitarian access and safe evacuation corridors. www.refugeesinternational.org/statements-a...

60% of #refugees now live in cities, not camps, but our #humanitarianaid systems haven't caught up. Our new policy brief w/ @refugeesinternational.org @refugeesri.bsky.social & @iied.bsky.social calls for an "urban first" approach to refugee response: www.womensrefugeecommission.org/research-res...

Five years after the #Tigray War, peace in #Ethiopia remains fragile. Join us, @amnesty.org, @ecdcus.bsky.social, and @newlinesinst.bsky.social for a discussion on progress and setbacks since the Pretoria Agreement and what's next for the region. RSVP: www.refugeesinternational.org/events-and-t...

Bahati Kanyamanza, IRAP's Global Partnerships Director, penned an op-ed for @theguardian.com where he draws from his own journey as a refugee to explain why gutting the U.S. refugee program would be a betrayal of America's deepest values. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
