“It is both deeply disturbing and completely unsurprising that this government has hired MVM to conduct so-called ‘wellness checks’. These checks have already terrorized numerous children and have led to family separation throughout the country.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The U.S. immigration system has become a system of death by a thousand cuts causing insurmountable suffering to immigrants, their loved ones, & communities throughout the U.S. May this man and all others who have died in ICE custody Rest In Peace. Immigration detention centers must cease to exist.

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

I just got out of the San Benito facility in Texas, where this administration has reportedly locked up pregnant teens and teens with infants. It’s obvious they are hiding something. Watch to see what I saw and what they told me.

ImmDef is in Sacramento urging state leaders to strengthen and expand CA’s immigration legal services. Families need life‑saving deportation defense now. We join 50+ partners in supporting the ONE CA program. Tell your rep to stand with immigrant families: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

If you are willing to die for this country, you should not be deported by it. My amendment to ensure non-citizen veterans receive legal counsel and due process was blocked, leaving our heroes at risk. This is a betrayal of our values and a broken promise to those who wore the uniform.

At least 17 people have died in ICE custody since January.

Today, I had the honor of being sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives — a moment I don’t take lightly. To the people of NJ-11, thank you.

New filing in @aclu.org @aclufl.bsky.social @aijustice.bsky.social access to counsel lawsuit describes “Alligator Alcatraz” guards beating immigrant detainees and turning off all phones in the facility www.aclu.org/cases/c-m-v-...

ICE pulled over a man in Patterson, CA + shot him 6 times, hitting his face. ICE now says he is part of a gang in LA – a city he has no connection to. Carlos Mendoza Hernandez, 36, now in ICU, says he's "never ever been in a gang" + was shot without justification www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Our Haitian neighbors are deeply rooted in our communities and essential to our economy. And terminating TPS for Haiti would be devastating & destabilizing, especially in Boston. That's why we're fighting hard to extend Haiti TPS and we're closer than ever to getting it done.

The warehousing of human beings is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. Trump’s regime is actively scouting, purchasing, and planning to convert 23 warehouses nationwide into new detention and processing facilities. This would massively expand ICE’s capacity for detentions.

"Shuting Chen, an immigration judge fired last November, said the administration wanted judges to act as “puppets for the administration with a singular goal of deporting as many people as possible as quickly as possible.”" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

And as @carlygoodman.bsky.social and @asgvisalaw.bsky.social point out, “maybe not” was implied and the people who want to shut out now are the same people who would’ve supported shutting out then— for the same reasons.

I have written abt invoking the Holocaust to shut asylum seekers out. Nothing makes madder. “In a whistle-blower letter, one fired judge quoted an official on the standard for asylum: “Maybe if you were Jewish and escaping Nazi Germany in 1943, you should get it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

NEW: Refugees are challenging the Trump admin's discriminatory preference for Afrikaners in court “USRAP has been transformed into a discriminatory entity serving a 95% white population at the expense of refugees who have waited years for the chance to safely resettle in the United States."

NEW: An immigrant dad waited 5 mts for a fingerprinting appt required to reunite with his daughter. In that time, the toddler was sexually abused in government care. “I just think that if they would have moved faster, nothing like that would have happened,” the dad said. apnews.com/article/immi...

We are honored to be a @shortyawards.bsky.social finalist for our work to defend due process and keep families together. This work exposed cruel enforcement practices, helped people understand their rights, and encouraged our audiences to take action.

💗 At ImmDef, our attorneys don’t just represent children, they stand beside them with compassion, courage, and unwavering hope. They ensure young people in the immigration system are heard, protected, and fiercely defended. Support our work 💙 www.immdef.org/support

After being wrongfully deported without due process, our client "Daniel" is finally home. Daniel has a developmental disability and was deported less than 10 days after his arrest during the L.A. raids. ImmDef and pro bono partners fought to bring him back & today he’s reunited with his family!

ImmDef proudly joined 50+ immigrant rights orgs filing an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court defending birthright citizenship. For more than a century, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed citizenship to children born in the U.S., regardless of their parents’ status.

My opponent backed the “Big, Ugly Law” — the same law that kicked 350,000 New Jersey residents off their healthcare and drove energy costs up. On top of that, tariffs are pushing housing costs higher and making life more expensive. We must end the MAGA affordability crisis!

At my immigration hearing, Marion Donovan-Kaloust detailed her experience working with unaccompanied children and the horrors they’ve seen under Trump. No child should have to go through this cruelty. It must end now.

Hi! 👋 VOW is an oral history nonprofit illuminating human rights issues through community storytelling projects and an innovative education program. We support folks with oral history and ethical storytelling practices through our trainings, resources, and partnerships. Glad to be here with you.

Taking a few days off this week from work after some powerful advocacy days in DC last week fighting for #asylum rights and #immigrant #childrensrights. Appreciate having the time to take off from work to spend time with my family and read this insightful book.

Today, I was notified of another death that occurred in ICE custody, bringing the total to 45 deaths under the second Trump administration. These are not just numbers, they’re people. It’s devastating and we can’t let it continue. We need accountability & we must dismantle ICE.

Our movement for immigrant justice grows stronger every day. 💪 From community events to legal victories, our team continues to defend and uplift immigrant communities with compassion and commitment. Here’s what we’ve been up to. Go team #ImmDef 💪

Thank you for speaking up on behalf of those who cannot, Charles Barkley.

This is a big deal, y'all! We're now closer than ever to extending TPS for Haiti and giving our neighbors the protections they deserve. Because of your advocacy, we have the signers needed to force a vote. www.dotnews.com/2026/03/28/p...

We have friends everywhere. #NoKings

No Kings is international! Hope to see U.S. citizens and allies abroad out protesting!

A judge in Texas has ordered the Trump admin to return a man deported to Mexico — and immediately rerouted for Guatemala, where the man had legal protection from being deported due to threat of persecution/torture. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If this whole time, Trump and his GOP could’ve paid TSA (from its $150 BILLION DHS slush fund), it should be obvious, even for the nay-sayers, that they did not- in fact- negotiate in good faith. Lesson learned? #IceOutOfAirports #DHS www.cnn.com/2026/03/26/p...

EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS. Florida Democrats flip two seats in special legislative elections In the shocker of the night, Democrat Brian Nathan defeated Republican Josie Tomkow in the Senate District 14 race by 408 votes floridaphoenix.com/2026/03/24/f...

After a five-week shutdown, lawmakers have proposed a plan that will continue to pour billions into CBP & ICE with no policy changes to prevent future abuses. They need to keep feeling that pressure! No money for ICE, and ICE out of our airports and off our streets! 🔗Act now: bit.ly/noicefunding2

The SHIELD Act, introduced last week by Sen. @edmarkey.bsky.social, would protect immigrant communities facing escalating enforcement, detention, and family separation by expanding the legal defender workforce needed to ensure due process for ALL. Here’s how ⬇️

Who's gonna tell him?

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

BASH: Are ICE agents going to move into American airports starting tomorrow? HOMAN: Yes. I'm currently working on the plan. We'll execute tomorrow. BASH: Are ICE agents even remotely trained to handle security at airports? HOMAN: ICE agents receive high-level training.

We’re at the ICE agents in airports stage of authoritarianism 🇺🇸
