We love to see it!

In our city of San Antonio, former RAICES organizers and their allies helped establish a similar program to aid immigrant families with legal services.

U.S. asylum law can be harsh and unfair, even to the people we claim are helping.

Texas believes it can start dictating asylum law, even though that's the job of the federal government.

Immigration prisons exist to provide profits for the private corporations that run them.

It is time to do away with migrant imprisonment.

Border Patrol's inhumanity is nothing new.

Border Patrol needs to be abolished. It can't be reformed.

Today, The Court granted our motion on behalf of 7 U.S. citizens to intervene in Texas v. DHS and defend their ability to sponsor loved ones and others in the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela parole programs.

Why is this important?🧵⤵️

Had policies such as Title 42 not been in place, this tragedy would have been prevented.

Instead, the Biden administration is willing to sacrifice migrants in order to seem tough on immigrants.

In Honduras and El Salvador, recent environmental catastrophes, widespread human rights concerns, and political crises have made it dangerous for migrants to return home.

Today, @SenKaineTeam and I led 116 of our colleagues in calling for redesignation of TPS for both nations.

The U.S. is the leader in the number of immigrant prisons it has.

Imprisoning immigrants, and making them suffer is profitable.

Biden's immigration plans have no real solution to deal and aid asylum seekers. Instead, the administration continues to expand some of Trump's worst policies.

ICE and private prison companies have been destroying evidence and falsifying evidence when it comes to deaths under their care.

There are many small steps the Biden Administration and Congress can take to ease hard decisions families must make when trying to adjust their immigration status.

The e-carceration of migrants continues to expand, this time wrist watches.

Electronic surveillance of migrants is nothing new. The border is full of cutting-edge technologies, and ankle shackles, phones, have all been used to track migrants in real time.

Cities are finding ways to protect immigrants, and conservative forces are making sure that that doesn't happen.

Interactions with the police are one of the ways that many migrants find themselves detained and deported.

Congress continues to push failed immigration policies of the past, which did nothing to stem migration to the U.S..

Instead, policies enacted and kept by both Trump and Biden have caused nothing but harm to migrants and asylum-seekers.

Yesterday was Tax Day.

Here is your reminder that undocumented immigrants pay taxes, and have immense power when it comes to their ability to organize their labor.

Texas Republicans do not have a clear answer as to why this bill is needed, if under Operation Lone Star, the number of detained migrants has increased, not decreased. Arming citizens to shoot immigrants is not the answer, and sad that it needs to be said.

In order to pump their numbers and look like they are doing their jobs, ICE consistently deports people that should not be deported.

Immigration judges, which are appointed, not elected, can now decide whether someone is guilty of a crime that the charges were dropped for.

This is unfair for many reasons, least of them being punished for something you shouldn't be punished for, again.
