The US needs a new approach to immigration that addresses the reasons people are compelled to move and makes better plans for increased human mobility. It can't enforce its way out of reality, my colleague Vicki B. Gaubeca in Arizona Daily Star.

🌟A win for the human rights of people seeking asylum🌟

The UK Government has dropped the controversial plans to remove basic housing protections for people seeking asylum.

This was one of the recommendations we made with Human Rights Watch in our recent joint report.

A vindictive policy that follows pattern of looking tough but achieving next to nothing.

Just 5% of immigration is made up of family migrant spouses & kids, & they already have no recourse to public funds.

No saving, hardly any impact on numbers, just misery for a few families.

The Jordanian government attempted to hack into the phones of my Human Rights Watch colleagues Hiba Zayadin and Adam Coogle, as well as dozens of other Jordan-based activists and journalists. This is symptomatic of a chilling and intensifying crackdown on civic space in the country 👇

🧵 Twice last year, state-sponsored attackers attempted to remotely compromise my personal Jordanian phone using Israeli-owned spyware Pegasus. Twice too was Adam Coogle, my Human Rights Watch colleague in Jordan, targeted. It was a jarring experience every time.
