Fernando García

Today I had the honor of representing @border_human and our community in a meeting with @VP in #ElPaso, where I shared with her our vision & solutions for the border as the #NewEllisIsland. Watch our live press conference at 12:15 MT for more updates: facebook.com/BorderNetworkF…

.@FernandoBNHR of @border_human: "In the past bringing people to the United States was a mom-and-pop deal. Now you need to pay thousands of dollars to the organizations that actually are bringing these immigrants in these conditions to the country." @jdbalart @MSNBC

At least 46 migrants were found dead Monday inside a sweltering tractor-trailer in one of the deadliest tragedies in recent decades of migrants attempting to cross into the U.S. "What we are seeing is an unprecedented situation," says immigration rights organizer @FernandoBNHR.

“The death of more than 40 migrants in #SanAntonio is a serious tragedy announced and caused by the deterrence policies on the U.S.-Mexico border, applied by both the federal and the Texas governments. (Thread continues)⬇️ (1/5) cnn.com/2022/06/27/us/…

This ruling will maintain the status quo – keeping and prolonging detention for thousands of vulnerable immigrants almost indefinitely and depriving them of the opportunity to protect their rights. (quote continues) (1/4) time.com/6187133/suprem…

"El gasto tremendo y tan grande que se hizo en ese muro fronterizo, es un gasto inútil porque no esta ni deteniendo la migración, porque eso no se detiene con muros, ni esta ayudando a arreglar un sistema migratorio que esta roto." univision.com/noticias/no-de…

Today’s ruling is a win for the immigrant community. For years we've argued the inhumanity and illegality of #Title42. This decision will protect refugee families fleeing persecution and is a crucial step towards ending a shameful, policy that penalizes people for seeking refuge.

"Nosotros seguimos aquí, recordándole que la promesa sigue incumplida y que seguiremos luchando" dice Fernando Garcia sobre la continuación del Titulo 42 y MPP también conocido como Remain in Mexico #SOTU

Glad to read important perspectives from @FernandoBNHR and @UndocuBlack_Pat among others and share some of my own in this @AdamAton piece on the under-covered climate aspects of what’s happening at the border.

Here, I shout-out the good work of groups like @ACLU_BRC, @KinoBorder, and @border_human, who have carefully documented frequent, everyday examples of abuse by US border personnel. Examples that rarely see accountability, or end up on camera like what we've just seen.

The Biden admin and @SecMayorkas are breaking promises to create a just and humane immigration system. Tell the Biden admin to reverse course and #StopDeportationFlights immediately! #WelcomeWithDignity

“We are neither defeated nor lacking the will to go on. There are other legal avenues we will try. It is important to press the Biden administration and the Democrats to deliver on promises made during the 2020 election.” @FernandoBNHR to @BorderReportcom borderreport.com/hot-topics/imm…

Additionally, we call on Congress to ensure these horrors at our border never happen again by enacting legislation on Border Patrol accountability to stop abuses and protect the rights of all migrants, regardless of their race or country of origin. (4/4) #StopDeportationFlights

Seeking asylum is a legal right, and the Biden administration is violating that right by deporting Haitian asylum seekers en masse without due process. We demand that @POTUS & @SecMayorkas conduct an investigation into the events in Del Rio against Haitian migrants. (3/4)

The abuse we are witnessing right now against Haitian asylum seekers in Del Rio is abhorrent. The images of CBP officers on horseback chasing & whipping Black Haitians looking for safety following a devastating earthquake & political crisis in Haiti (cont. 1/4)

Undeniable photographic evidence that our current border policies are rooted in white supremacy and the dehumanization of + state-sponsored violence against Black folks & people of color 👇🏽 Story:@psskow Photos: @fotornelas
