Over the weekend, federal agents were sent to Chicago and raided people's homes, rounded up children, and separated families. This is not how we keep our cities safe. CTAN condemns these actions and calls on Congress to do everything in their power to stop the militarization of our communities NOW.

Health care workers should be able to focus on saving lives — not preparing for ICE raids. https://bit.ly/46tIUmD

Attacks on child care and Head Start hit families with low incomes the hardest, worsening the affordability crisis and deepening inequities. www.clasp.org/blog/federal...

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerted legal service providers serving immigrant children of their plans to incentivize the children to leave the country and abandon their legal rights to seek safety in the United States.

Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywd...

Child care is increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable – and the Budget reconciliation bill will make families' and states' budgets even tighter. We can’t let kids and parents pay the price. Learn why. www.clasp.org/blog/senate-...

CTAN's own @wendydcervantes.bsky.social at @clasp.org writes in @washingtonpost.com : Immigration actions harm kids. DHS has a responsibility to preserve the rights of parents, no matter who is in the White House. #PostLetters

So inspired by these state advocates! Across the country, communities are stronger because of their leadership! Thank you Children @ Risk, @natwicassoc.bsky.social , Statewide Organizing for Community eMpowerment (SOCM), @tnimmigrant.bsky.social, @casaforall.bsky.social

DHS is targeting DACA recipients during immigration check-ins, at airports, and even outside their homes. The threats against DACA recipients & undocumented youth are deeply troubling. Learn more: HomeIsHere.us/tracker abcnews.go.com/Politics/rec...

This week, ICE agents in Leominster, MA detained a 5-year old girl to pressure her father to surrender to ICE. In response, CTAN issued the following statement: www.nbcboston.com/news/local/i...

DACA has always been lawful. Now, it's facing its biggest threat yet, with DHS ignoring DACA protections and detaining DACA recipients. Our Immigrant Youth Abduction Tracker is exposing the truth: nearly 20 DACA recipients & dozens more immigrant youth are detained. HomeIsHere.us/tracker

We are thrilled to announce the National Immigration Summit happening THIS WEEK! Join CTAN, Children at Risk, and the TX Family Leadership Council virtually this Thursday, September 25 at 1 PM ET/ 12 PM CT/ 10 AM PT. Register today: wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/webl...

We reject the Supreme Court's decision allowing ICE to use racial profiling to detain people. We are outraged by this ruling & the impact it'll have on immigrant communities. We stand with the BIPOC community who will feel the repercussions of this ruling www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Today @wendydcervantes.bsky.social joined members of Congress and other advocates to call attention to the Hernández fam. The Hernández fam received national attention when they were deported to MX after being stopped at an interior border checkpoint while seeking medical care for their 10yr old

We are grateful to our network partners, @aft.org & @neatoday.bsky.social, the two largest U.S. teacher unions, for joining this important litigation that challenges the Trump Admin’s move to allow for immigration arrests near schools.

The Trump Administration's deportation efforts are inhumane and cruel. The Guardian reports that GlobalX facilitated 1,700 deportation flights. Nearly 1,000 children were on these flights including 500 kids under the age of 10 and 22 infants. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

📢 Don't Look Away: Our Government Is Abducting People and Stomping on the Rule of Law goto.powertothepeoplenews.org/47FNj6U #FreeXochitl #HomeIsHere

Immigrant youth are our teachers, neighbors, farmworkers, and parents. They contribute billions to our economy. We will not stay silent as this administration dismantles DACA. #ProtectDACA #QuietlyKillingDACA #HomeIsHere

The administration is #QuietlyKillingDACA. ICE and CBP unlawfully detain immigrant youth—including valid DACA recipients like Xóchitl and Paulo. We demand accountability. #HomeIsHere

The Trump Admin is #QuietlyKillingDACA. In the last few weeks DACA recipients and immigrant youth have been targeted by ICE. We are outraged by these wrongful detentions and reaffirm our commitment to defending the rights of DACA recipients #homeishere

Xochitl Santiago is a community advocate and DACA recipient who has been detained for more than 5+ weeks despite a judge dismissing her case. There is no lawful reasoning for her detention. FREE HER NOW! #freexochitl #HomeIsHere #QuietlyKillingDACA @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social

JeanCarlos is a brother and father of two from Miami. He is a current DACA recipient. Despite this, ICE, DEA and the FBI took him from his home and detained him hundreds of thousands miles away, in New Mexico, for months. DHS must release him and reaffirm DACA’s protections! #HomeIsHere

🚨In the middle of the night during Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration tried to illegally deport unaccompanied kids when they thought no one was watching.

CTAN is outraged by the Trump Admin's attempt to forcibly remove dozens of immigrant kids over the holiday weekend.Read our statement and our partners' statements below: childrenthriveaction.org/2025/09/chil... @clasp.org

This summit will explore: 🔹 How immigration policies are affecting children and families today 🔹 Ways to center children in advocacy, messaging, and action 🔹 Community-led responses across states to support immigrant well-being This virtual event is free and open to all. I hope you’ll join us.

Children and families are at the center of both harm and hope. Save the date for the 2025 Immigration Summit on September 25 at 1 PM ET/ 12 PM CT/ 10 AM PT. We're uniting advocates and experts to create positive change. Register today:

We are outraged by the news that a 6-year-old girl and her mother were abducted at a routine immigration check-in in New York, forced into detention, and deported—separating them from the rest of their family in one horrifying moment.

The people who power our country are being ripped from our communities.

Don’t be fooled by what the GOP wants you to believe about the #BigBetrayalBill. Not only will 2 million+ citizen kids lose the #CTC because a parent lacks a SSN, but the poorest of kids-1 in 3-will lose access. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Our statement on the Senate's passage of the budget reconciliation bill. We urge the House to reject this damaging bill and focus on policies that prioritize workers, children, and families over billionaires. www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

No one should have to live in fear of going to work, attending school, or walking down the street — period. buff.ly/H1VwJOJ

🚨 The Senate budget bill puts immigrant children in grave danger. It guts key protections, allows indefinite family detention in unlicensed facilities, and increases children’s risk of abuse, and exploitation. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

The Trump Administration's anti-immigrant policies hinder families' access to child care and providers' participation in the child care workforce. Our latest brief with @nwlc.org outlines how these attacks are harming children, families, and early educators. www.clasp.org/publications...

As we celebrate the 13th anniversary of DACA, allowing immigrant youth to grow & thrive, Congress is poised to strip healthcare from hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients & others. Learn more in a new brief from our partners @letkidsthrive.bsky.social: childrenthriveaction.org/wp-content/u...

“We must provide permanent protections for Dreamers. This is the American way.” June 15 is the 13th #DACA Anniversary. Thank you @booker.senate.gov for your leadership in fighting to protect DACA recipients and Dreamers!

DACA has broad support across the country because people know it works. Dreamers are our coworkers, neighbors, and loved ones. It’s time to give them the permanent protections they deserve by passing the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act. #HomeIsHere

“Dreamers are essential to growing our economy and contributing to Nevada.” June 15 is the 13th #DACA Anniversary. Thank you @cortezmasto.senate.gov for your leadership in standing with DACA recipients and Dreamers!
