In just 5 days, the immigrant protections bills that just passed the Senate & Assembly will EXPIRE. Gov. Murphy has 5 days to sign these bills & stand up for our state’s 2.3 mill immigrants one last time. NOW: Call 609-292-6000 & tell @govmurphy.bsky.social SIGN the immigrant protections bills!

Part 1 of our 3-part sit-down with Bernie Sanders + Analilia Mejia drops today. We talked about the killing of Renee Good, ICE kidnapping grandmothers & gardeners, Trump’s authoritarian drift, and the urgent need for real immigration reform—ahead of Bernie’s Oligarchy Tour in NJ.

This weekend, I stood with Make The Road NJ and immigrant communities in declaring that ICE must be dismantled and removed from our neighborhoods, streets, and lives. The fatal shooting of Renee Good has made one thing clear: this moment demands action, not empty promises.

I will be on @democracynow.org with Amy Goodman in the next hour block to discuss a brand new report we are putting out later today that comprehensively explains the growth of immigration detention in Trump‘s first year back in office. Check it out! We’re so excited for this report to go live.

JUST IN: Rubio tells Judge Boasberg that there’s no way to retrieve the 137 Venezuelans deported under the Alien Enemies Act — or even offer them due process — given the delicate negotiations with Venezuela’s new post-Maduro regime. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Over the weekend, three Minnesota members of Congress were denied access to an ICE detention center in their state. So today, we’re back in court to again challenge the Trump-Vance admin’s outrageous policy blocking members from conducting oversight of ICE facilities.

The US Supreme Court just granted cert in Cisco v. Doe on (1) whether the Alien Tort Statute allows aiding and abetting claims & (2) whether the TVPA does. The case could strike a major blow to human rights law. For deep background on the law, read this article: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

@indivisible.org We kicked off ICE OUT FOR GOOD in Hyannis on Cape Cod. On a cold January evening, over 300-people came before & during the 4-5pm protest then stood vigil with candles and heard speakers 5-5:30. #iceoutforgood #reneegood #reneenicolegood #indivisible @maddow.bsky.social

thank you to the great Amy Goodman and @democracynow.org for having me on the one year anniversary of the L.A. fires to talk about FIRESTORM. youtu.be/ty_W1xet61Y?...

When raids began in SoCal in June 2025, ImmDef & CLUE launched the Detained Immigrant Bond Fund. We raised $850K, bringing 85 people home this holiday season. With average bonds at $10K, we can free just 5 more—unless you help us step up again. Donate: cluejustice.org/bond

NEW: More than 300 judges — including 33 appointed by Trump himself — have now rebuffed the Trump administration’s bid to dramatically expand efforts to lock people up while they fight deportation. www.politico.com/news/2026/01/05/trump-administration-immigrants-mandatory-detention-00709494

Impeach. Remove. Convict.

2025 tested our community, but it also revealed our strength. In 2026, we’ll keep defending immigrant rights, expanding access to legal representation, and building the future our littlest clients deserve. We’ll keep fighting!✨ #NoImmigrantStandsAlone

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending TPS for South Sudanese immigrants while a legal challenge proceeds.

A documentary is airing tonight about Anastasio Hernandez Rojas on HBO at 6pm PT/9pm ET “Critical Incident: Death at the Border” Learn about this tragic case so that justice will one day be served and his family can know that their loved one is not forgotten. #immigration #documentary

Today I filed notice of appeal in my case. From the beginning, I’ve fought back against this administration’s cruelty and attempts to silence dissent—this appeal is the next step in the fight.

We stand with @replamonica.bsky.social in her fight to expose ICE abuses. If the federal administration is doing this to her, who’s to say they won’t do it to any one of us?

This administration will do anything to stop Congress from uncovering the truth about its lawlessness. @replamonica.bsky.social is an important voice in the fight for truth and transparency; it should not be silenced.

I spent the morning at an ICE Detention Center and I don’t think I will ever be the same. If you’d like to read it in full, I’ve put it in the comments below. My Day at an ICE Detention Center: open.substack.com/pub/zachwlam...

The Whole World is Watching. There have been 7 deaths in ICE detention in Dec 2025 and 33 in 2025. Immigration detention center policies must die. No more deaths of immigrants in detention. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... 1/2 #immigration #detention #shutthemdown #immigrantsarehumanbeings

“The message is clear: No immigrant living in the United States is to feel safe or welcome. No one will be spared.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

SCOTUS has just rejected the government's application for a stay in Margolin v. NAIJ, our challenge to restrictions on the speech of immigration judges. It should reject the government's forthcoming cert petition, too. Full @knightcolumbia.org statement below. knightcolumbia.org/content/supr...

Here is the suppressed 60 minutes video about CECOT prison. By the way, it is outrageous that we need to record and share bootleg versions of a news story created in our own country. That's right out of the fascist playbook, folks. Do not accept it! m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

‼️💥 Today, we are outside Delaney Hall in support of Congresswoman @replamonica.bsky.social and Congressman @menendez.house.gov as they conduct an Oversight visit following the devastating loss of Jean Wilson Brutus, a community member detained at Delaney Hall earlier this month.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Video (no paywall): bit.ly/4qn6Jn5

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

The truth about what the Trump administration did to hundreds of men in sending them to hell at CECOT must not be silenced. Hoping this story airs soon and that more media outlets also cover this #humanrights story.

NEW: After months of trying, Democrats in Congress were finally allowed into the holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza. Rep. Dan Goldman said he was told by ICE officials that 60% of those detained in NY did not have criminal records. With @oliviabensimon.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

Acacia Center for Justice condemns the House of Representatives’ passage of H.R. 4371, a bill that threaten the safety of unaccompanied children by rolling back critical protections and detaining children for longer periods, if not indefinitely. See our statement: acaciajustice.org/acacia-conde...

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

These Seven Democrats Voted for Pervy GOP Bill Allowing Strip Searches of Migrant Children migrantinsider.com/p/these-seve...

I urge my colleagues to vote NO on HR 4371, a bill that treats refugee children as criminals. Let's champion legislation like my Family Reunification Act and the Upholding Protections for Unaccompanied Children Act instead.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

Our client, battling renal failure & seizures, was tackled in his driveway after dialysis and abducted by ICE. Now he's detained far from doctors & family, including a son in the army. For the sick, ICE custody is a death sentence. Help us bring him home: immdef.org/donate

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

A judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be immediately released from immigration detention.

George—a U.S. citizen and veteran—wasn’t able to communicate with anyone while detained by I.C.E. He even missed his daughter’s birthday. This is a gross injustice, and it’s happening all over the country.
