If you want to truly be in awe of the person running the sanitation department in NYC, read @rznagle.bsky.social ethnography, Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City. Truly one of my favorite books about NYC.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

BREAKING: We're suing Colorado for incarcerating hundreds of children in highly-restrictive dangerous detention facilities after a court said they may be released. These jail-like settings risk inflicting lasting harm on kids physically, psychologically, socially and academically.

"ICE has detained and deported hundreds of pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants since the start of the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed for the first time Wednesday." https://bit.ly/4bRtECC

Headed to #sfaa2026 in Albuquerque to talk about my book Sanctuary School. The last time I was in Albuquerque was as a student at Oñate Elementary. I like to think my writing has come leaps and bounds since 1992. My drawing skills are about the same @harvard-ed-press.bsky.social

Our @sxswedu.com panels brought together the policy, advocacy and research folks that will continue the fight for joy, justice, sanctuary and accompaniment for immigrant youth, families and communities. I feel so lucky to be working alongside these luchadoras! #sxswedu

You can pick up a copy of Sanctuary School at #scswedu this week! @sxswedu.com

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at @sxswedu.com. Come stop by one of my sessions or the mixer after. My book, Sanctuary School @harvard-ed-press.bsky.social will be at the bookstore.

Coming to #sxswedu? Come say hi on Monday night.

Happening today at @swarthmorecollege.bsky.social

ICE Taps into School Security Cameras to Aid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown, 74 Investigation Finds www.the74million.org/article/ice-...

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Please read and share this important article by @eleanorjbader1.bsky.social. The Trauma of ICE Raids Is Rippling Through Public Schools Across the US truthout.org/articles/the...

Our constitutional rights haven't changed. Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.

Mark your calendars! The first Immigration & Education SIG business meeting will take place on Friday, April 10 at 7:45 PM in Room 304C at #AERA2026. We’re excited to gather for the first time as a new SIG. More details soon, but for now, save the date! #ImmigrationAndEducationSIG #AERA2026

@anindyakundu.bsky.social is talking about his new book tonight at a virtual fireside chat for Molloy University. Join us for this important discussion molloyu.libcal.com/event/16210974

After 10 months of organizing by busy professors & grad students, with no guarantee it would pay off, we just learned that @AERA approved a new Special Interest Group in Immigration & Education. Grateful to our organizers & all who signed on. See you at #AERA2026 in LA!

If you're attending @sxswedu.com next month, be sure to join HEP author @chandlermiranda.bsky.social for a conversation titled, "Sanctuary Mindsets & Accompañamiento for Immigrant Students," a panel titled, "Joy & Justice," and a mentor session! Learn more here: bit.ly/3NKEDnQ

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

I am so thrilled to have been invited by one of my academic idols, Carola Suarez Orozco, to talk about Sanctuary School @harvard-ed-press.bsky.social at #AERA26. There’s no better place for this than L.A., a city leading the fight for immigrant justice. convention2.allacademic.com/one/aera/aer...

“My wife is American. My son is American. I live here. New York is my home. I studied here and I plan to fight my case in court. So if they have anything to present, let’s see them in court." Mahmoud Khalil should never have been detained for his speech. New York is his home, period.

Sanctuary School is 30% off this month using the code BHM2026. hep.gse.harvard.edu/979889557009...

Bad Bunny said it right — we won't let ICE's depravity strip us of our humanity. Our communities, neighbors, and loved ones are worth fighting for.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

I’m excited for the phase out of regents. It’s a moment for project based learning and portfolio assessment to make a comeback!

I think that would *probably* be an equal protection violation?

Trump is using ICE and CBP like a private army to abduct immigrants, silence dissent, and inflict violence. In response, Minnesotans showed the world what it means to care for your neighbor. Here's how you can support people + orgs on the ground & fight for justice: www.nilc.org/articles/how...

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Had limited access to my phone all morning. Came back and reviewed multiple videos of the killing of Alex Pretti. It was an execution. He did not pose a threat. He was on the ground and his gun was taken from its holster by one officer. Then he was shot multiple times and killed by another.

ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger. We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

Liam Ramos just arrived home from preschool when he and his father were arrested and taken into custody by ICE agents. Enough is enough. ICE does not belong in our communities.

Our elected officials must rein in ICE's abuses to our communities. Demand that Congress oppose any bill that would add to ICE's already massive budget at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Congress needs to act NOW to stop funding ICE’s deadly detention & mass arrests. TAKE ACTION: Call Congress at (202) 224-3121 & tell your elected officials to oppose more $$ for ICE & Border Patrol. And send a message & make sure your voice is heard: https://immigrantjustice.org/StopICE

AILA member Sarah Peterson shares what led to an increased federal presence in Minnesota and the current state of affairs, explaining that this has been years in the making as Congress has "failed to enact any sort of meaningful immigration reform." https://bit.ly/4jZA59h

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Congressman Moulton will be joining @naynagupta.bsky.social and me on Thursday to discuss ICE detention over the last year and the findings from @immcouncil.org’s latest report on the Trump admin’s unprecedented growth of immigration detention over the last year. Register at link in the next post.
