VICTORY: Our client Pavel has been granted asylum! After nearly a year detained at Otay Mesa, he’s finally free. But his young son - separated from him at the border - remains in ORR custody. Our legal team continues fighting to reunite their family. 📲 immdef.org/donate

Moms belong in homes, not detention centers. We stand in solidarity with detained mothers and joined our SD partners @afsc_org, International Friendship Park, Detention Resistance and The Border Church, to shower them with flowers and support at Otay Mesa Detention Center. 💐

Since Jan 2025, 64 ppl have died in ICE custody. Behind every number is a person loved by their family & community. As detention rapidly expands, we continue hearing reports of medical neglect and unsafe conditions, inside ICE facilities. This must end. 🔗 lataco.com/ice-death-trac…

Kids deserve protection, not prolonged detention. Unaccompanied kids are spending months, sometimes 1yr+, trapped in gov't custody bc Trump's family separation policies frighten families into silence and leave children alone and traumatized. 🔗 tinyurl.com/3fszmh7h

#ZeroTolerance shattered families, and #OperationGuardianTrace continues that harm. No parent should ever choose between safety and family reunification. We deserve a system that keeps families whole, not one that breaks them apart.

A key safeguard in immigration detention has been eliminated as deaths continue to rise. W/o oversight, conditions worsen, and people are pressured to give up their strong legal claims just to break free from the detention. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2pm8vvmw

Today, I conducted an oversight visit to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas. What I saw and heard was alarming. ICE agents' accounts didn't match what detainees told us and that disconnect cannot be ignored. The conditions there demand urgent attention. We need far greater congressional oversight, and we need it now. This cannot continue.

A system that speeds deportations while denying universal representation isn’t delivering justice it’s engineering outcomes where immigrants are set up to lose. “People are being pushed to move cases forward without attorneys because they’re tired of detention,” our atty said.
