#WelcomeWithDignity

The #WelcomeWithDignity Campaign has SOLUTIONS for @POTUS & Congress to strengthen our asylum system. 1⃣ We must restore access to asylum at the border. 2⃣ Let's fund communities, orgs, & services that support newcomers AND long-time community members.

The Trump admin’s directive to review 230,000+ already-vetted refugees is a dangerous attempt to terminate legal status & retraumatize families who built their lives here. Survivors of persecution deserve protection, not more punishment by our own gov’t. humanrightsfirst.org/library/human-…

The #WelcomeWithDignity Campaign denounces the Justice Department’s July 18 decision in Matter of K-E-S-G-, which attempts to eliminate life-saving protections for women and girls seeking safety in the United States. Read our latest statement ⬇️ welcomewithdignity.org/wwd-condemns-a…

"We at the #WelcomeWithDignity Campaign urge the House to resist the administration’s cruel, reckless agenda & vote no on this bill. We deserve a budget that invests in our communities, helps everyone thrive, & keeps families together, safe, and free." welcomewithdignity.org/wwd-condemns-p…

We stand united to condemn the assault on @SenAlexPadilla. The Trump Administration had attacked Sen. Padilla’s state and he has every right to ask questions of the DHS about it. His forcible removal is a stain on our democracy and the American people deserve answers.

We just witnessed @SenAlexPadilla being assaulted for speaking out and asking questions. This is perverse intolerance, and we must not allow dissent to be silenced.

PADILLA: "I was not arrested. I was not detained. I will say this. If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

"Over 235 men disappeared from the US into CECOT at the hands of DHS. It has been 88 days. Their families think about their sons, partners, fathers every day & hope & pray that they are alive" Michelle Brané, Together & Free, at today's Shadow Hearing youtube.com/watch?v=ui7Pzr…

"We were treated not like individuals w/rights, but numbers in a system designed to break us... We need a system that reflects our values of justice, dignity & due process." Powerful words from Ximena Arias Cristobal at today's Senate Shadow Hearing youtube.com/watch?v=ui7Pzr…

The #WelcomeWithDignity Campaign condemns the Trump administration’s travel ban—a racist & cruel policy of family separation that will keep Black and Brown families across the globe from reuniting & finding safety. Read our statement ⬇️ welcomewithdignity.org/wwd-condemns-t…

Immigrants detained in LA and NYC are being held for days in federal office buildings after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. How many other immigrants are being held in these horrible conditions across the country? ↘️↘️↘️

“It is so important for us to hold the administration accountable. Otherwise, these men will die in El Salvador. This is what we fear. Today is Day 83. Every day that Andry is in that prison, is a day that he could lose his life.” @L_Toczylowski @ImmDef youtube.com/watch?v=DO0fYF…

“These are not removals. These are not deportations. There is no process. Looking plainly at the conditions of those being held incommunicado, they have been disappeared.” @robynyakira @humanrights1st at @RepJayapal shadow hearing on disappearances. youtube.com/watch?v=DO0fYF…

“The targeting of Venezuelan men is horrific for them, but also for us. If America fails to push back, we might all lose this American home as we know it forever.” Beatriz Guzman, Venezuelan American attorney at today’s hearing w/@RepJayapal youtube.com/watch?v=DO0fYF…

“Andry’s case is about whether we will fight to uphold the rights of our constitution. If we fail him, we have failed our country.” @L_Toczylowski @ImmDef at today’s shadow hearing on Trump’s third country disappearances with @RepJayapal. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=DO0fYF…

This is not the end of his story. The govt may want Andry to disappear, but we are still fighting. We will appeal this decision, we will keep fighting for his return in other courts, we will not give up until he is safe and free. Visit freeandry.org to join the fight!
