Local law enforcement agencies are being flooded w/ federal dollars to support immigration enforcement, with little transparency or oversight. @felicityrose.bsky.social, our VP, of Criminal Justice Research and Policy explained why that’s a problem in a recent @npr.org article

Local law enforcement agencies are getting federal money for immigration enforcement. In Idaho, a sheriff received more than $116K. @felicityrose.bsky.social, our VP of Criminal Justice Research and Policy, breaks down the issues with 287(g) payments from DHS to local law enforcement.

Delay. Deny. Detain. Deport. This is the playbook for the Trump’s Administration’s latest attacks on DACA recipients and their families. Yesterday, @fwd.us launched a new campaign to sound the alarm about the ramp-up in attacks on DACA recipients and the DACA program. Check it out ⬇️

Listen to Najee, Amy, and ML as they share what it’s like to navigate Missouri’s parole system. Their story highlights how parole often fails to deliver on its promise as a meaningful opportunity to come home.

Communication is a lifeline, not a luxury. Millions of people behind bars and their families know this, but a new report by our partners at @worthrises.bsky.social makes the case shockingly clear. Families should not be charged to keep in touch with their loved ones. ⬇️

Last week, @colorado.gov hosted a roundtable with, @fwd.us Colorado business and community leaders to highlight the critical role immigrants play in powering the state’s workforce and economy.

If Texas wants to continue being a leading global economy, they need to enact policies that build a vibrant, welcoming environment for immigrants. Immigrants' economic contributions in the state can't be taken for granted, per a new analysis from @fwd.us:

Last week, after unlawfully deporting José, ICE granted him parole and flew him back to the U.S, only to rearrest him. His sisters and newborn son were waiting for him at the airport. Listen to his sisters share their experience and take action to tell DHS to release José ⬇️

“We are denying you for the nature of your crime.” This is a statement too many incarcerated people hear again and again when going up for parole because parole boards prioritize unchangeable past factors over demonstrated growth and good behavior in their decision-making.

New from @lbarronlopez.bsky.social @msnowreports.bsky.social: José, a DACA recipient, should be holding his newborn son. Instead, ICE arranged his return to the U.S., only to arrest him upon arrival. His sisters are heartbroken. They waited for him for hours at the airport. Share Jose's story

On Int’l Worker’s Day and every day, we celebrate the contributions of immigrants to our workforce and community. Listen to Kevin from @32bjseiu.bsky.social talk about how immigrants make their union stronger and help keep Boston running. @seiu.org @iamerica.org

Najee, Amy, and ML speak about their experience navigating Missouri’s parole process in the third video in @fwd.us’s parole story series. Their story reflects that of many incarcerated Missourians who remain in prison long past their parole eligibility date.

NEW STATEMENT from @fwd.us President, Todd Schulte, on the rearrest of DACA recipient, José Contreras Díaz, after the government said he could return to the United States.

Paroled back into the U.S. only to be rearrested by ICE. Stories like José’s are becoming too common. Today, Maria Praeli, from @fwd.us, spoke alongside Members of Congress & @unitedwedream.org about the uncertainty DACA recipients are experiencing due to arrests, deportations, and renewal delays.

After the Government told José he could come back to the U.S, they immediately rearrested him upon his return last night. He didn’t get to hold his newborn son or see his family. Read the latest from @lbarronlopez.bsky.social @msnowreports.bsky.social ⬇️

FWD.us President Todd Schulte issued the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the Trump administration’s efforts to unlawfully terminate TPS for Haiti and Syria.

NEW @fwd.us report: "TPS holders live with 390,000 U.S. citizen children, and more than 410,000 U.S. citizen adults, using their legal work authorization to support their families and communities." #ProtectTPS to keep American families together and boost our economy. www.fwd.us/news/tempora...

Jose, a DACA recipient, was unlawfully deported to Honduras in Feb. Thankfully, Jose is coming back to the U.S., but his story demonstrates the ongoing attacks against DACA recipients. Thank you @lbarronlopez.bsky.social at @msnowreports.bsky.social for continuing to highlight these stories.

Haitian TPS holders make our communities and economy stronger. If they lose TPS, there will be devastating consequences. Todd Schulte, @fwd.us President, highlights what’s at stake in tomorrow’s SCOTUS argument on TPS for Haiti in Tami Lubhy's recent @cnn.com article.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments on the unlawful attempts to end TPS for Syria. Thousands of Syrian TPS holders contribute $100M to the American economy annually. Taking away their legal protections is more than an economic mistake — it’s a humanitarian crisis that will hurt our communities.

Today, @fwd.us is proud to endorse the Investing in the American Dream Act, commonsense legislation to roll back discriminatory Small Business Administration (SBA) policies that are harming American entrepreneurs, including green card holders and immigrants.

TPS holders are members of our community and make our economy strong. As SCOTUS prepares to hear arguments on TPS tomorrow, it is important to remember how TPS holders contribute to our economy: $29 billion annually

Massive ICE warehouse jails will have serious consequences to our communities. @fwd.us President, Todd Schulte, breaks down why they’re the wrong approach and the importance of the letter @chrismurphyct.bsky.social sent to jurisdictions considering them.

TPS holders are our neighbors, coworkers, and parents of U.S. citizen children. Nearly 1.3M TPS holders contribute to our communities while supporting 390,000 U.S. citizen children. Tomorrow, SCOTUS is hearing arguments on a case that could end TPS. We must keep these families safe and together!

NEW STATEMENT from @fwd.us President Todd Schulte. Thank you to Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for sending letters to 20+ jurisdictions that could be sites for ICE warehouse jails. A massive expansion of detention beds will have lasting consequences for local communities and our economy. ⬇️

Last week, @fwdus and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce hosted a roundtable with local business leaders, chamber members, and key stakeholders to discuss the critical role immigrants play in Georgia's economy.

Episode 3 of 72 and Sunny features @fwd.us President, Todd Schulte. We talked about why the current "all-of-government" immigration enforcement approach has created chaos rather than safety for everyone.

Second chances must be fair chances. Eddie’s story highlights the difficulty of parole for so many people in New York and across the country. Parole should give people a meaningful chance to come home, but for far too many, it does not. Watch and share Eddie’s story

Last week, Louisiana lawmakers advanced a bill that would further criminalize homelessness. It won’t make communities safer and will only funnel more people into incarceration and the criminal justice system. ⬇️

NEW STATEMENT: @fwd.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social on the Senate reconciliation plan and proposed immigration enforcement funding that will only supercharge mass deportations and cruelty to immigrants.

NEW statement from @fwd.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social on today’s passage of legislation in the House to extend TPS for Haitians. We're grateful to Rep. Laura Gillen, Rep. Mike Lawler, and @pressley.house.gov for their leadership.

🚨 Good news! The U.S. House just passed a bipartisan bill to extend TPS for Haiti. This is a massive win for Haitian TPS holders who are deeply rooted in our communities and workforce. This vote is a testament to the incredible organizing by TPS holders and our partners.

Thank you @whipkclark.bsky.social for standing up for Haitian TPS holders!
