When a child shows up alone at our border seeking safety, we have a duty to keep them safe. I'm introducing a bill today with @RepDanGoldman and @repdeliaramirez to reverse cruel GOP policies that harm these kids. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Trump Admin is attempting to cut $2.46 billion annually in farm worker wages, undercutting the wages of U.S. workers. Spread the word & Sign to #SupportFarmWorkers ufwfoundation.org/action/stop-th…

Today, JMA announced the filing of a major lawsuit against Hyundai and Kia jobstomoveamerica.org/press-release/…

I’m really proud of this story that I did for @LatinoUSA. I hope you’ll take a listen. Also shoutout to my editor @ItsJMartinelli & thanks to @JusticeInMotion for trusting me with this story & thanks to @elfaroenglish & @_elfaro_ for co-publishing with us. latinousa.org/2025/10/24/tor…

@LatinoUSA @ItsJMartinelli @JusticeInMotion @elfaroenglish @_elfaro_ Be on the lookout next Friday because I’m publishing a second story… this time about a family who was separated during Zero Tolerance, but were reunited, however they were recently deported to Honduras… even though they had legal protection to be in the U.S.

Today on @LatinoUSA, thousands were separated at the border under Trump's first term. Hundreds remain apart. We travel to Guatemala to meet one father still fighting to reunite with his son as the new administration complicates their future. LISTEN ➡️ bit.ly/lusatorn

Families once torn apart are being targeted again. Parents who survived the trauma of family separation now face renewed threats as the gov’t defies court orders. We can’t be silent now. #FamiliesBelongTogether Read more from @KQED / @markbetancourt: bit.ly/4oBeiG9

Farmworkers are among the most essential yet lowest-paid workers in the U.S. The Trump admin’s new AEWR rule will drive down wages even further. As a @MigrationthtWks member, we call for its immediate reversal. Read #MigrationthatWorks' full statement: bit.ly/4n0O3Yo

Victory for migrant workers in CA! 🎉 @GavinNewsom signed AB 1362, protecting H-2A farmworkers from fraud, debt, and retaliation by unethical recruiters abroad. A big step toward dignity and justice for the people who feed America. Read our letter: bit.ly/46WmNEn

This is a must-read report about much needed H-2B visa reforms that would raise standards for all workers in the U.S. while helping to stop abuse of migrant workers. Congress should act now to protect all workers. #LaborRights #MigrantWorkers #H2BReform bit.ly/420Rman

At a State Department panel, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State said "90% of asylum claims are bogus" and urged rewriting refugee protections. This dangerous push misrepresents the Refugee Convention and risks sending people back to danger. Watch: bit.ly/42S3nPH

The DOL rescinded the 2024 H-2A rule — rolling back critical safeguards for farmworkers. This move erases protections against wage theft, weakens transportation safety, and lowers housing standards. We call on the DOL to restore and strengthen protections: bit.ly/4gHF3G8

When any worker in the U.S. — regardless of their immigration status — is mistreated, it hurts all U.S. workers. The U.S. government must stop the abuse of #migrant workers by employers. #WorkersRights @nytimes nytimes.com/2025/09/20/nyr…

A judge blocked the Trump admin from deporting Guatemalan children (many of them Indigenous) without due process. This decision affirms that children’s rights to safety and due process is not optional and must be upheld. via @nytimes / @ZJMontague: tr.ee/3xLe7M

LIVE from DC: Our Policy Manager will be speaking out against the Trump administration’s cruel deportation practices that are tearing families apart. Watch now: tr.ee/npYl7o

The Trump admin is once again separating families. ICE sent 400+ children to federal shelters since Trump took office, per @washingtonpost / @mariasacchetti. Families belong together. We stand against policies that tear families apart. Read more: tr.ee/CAa6DU

Today we join five countries in celebrating their 204th Independence Day! Just as their independence was won through unity, our Defender Network brings together human rights practitioners across borders to protect migrants’ rights today. Learn more: justiceinmotion.org/defender-netwo…
