This Intl Women’s Day beautiful, strong Tina is in my ♥️. Unjustly deported to Morocco after 20 yrs in the U.S. she lost DACA b/c of a single conviction she received as victim of domestic abuse. Now she lives in exile torn from her two kids, fighting for a #ChancetoComeHome 🧵👇🏽

@DrKnuckyEsq Great article @DrKnuckyEsq! Thank you for writing it!

I wrote this for NBC News about the racist comments made by Latino politicians in LA. They are an embarrassment & setback to solidarity movements. I made a call for reparations in the article and NBC News embedded a poll asking folks if they support reparations for Black people🫵

On this Memorial Day, pls help us bring this deported veteran back to his family. Need to reach our goal by Monday. Any amount helps! @Banishedveteran @normachavezp @andreskwon @mfbenigno gofund.me/5a8c9136

It's been a day in immigration court land. 🤯Within hours of one another we got dueling decisions from 2 different courts in cases involving Title 42, an absurd, cruel policy that has made a mockery of our asylum laws. Here's a 🧵on what happened today. /1

Notice Re Hold on Denials for CARRP Naturalization and Adjustment of Status Applications (Wagafe v. Biden) @JennieACLU @TolchinImm - Inside News - Immigration Law - LexisNexis® Legal Newsroom lexisnexis.com/LegalNewsRoom/…

If states can shield their laws from review by federal courts, then CA will use that authority to help protect lives. We will work to create the ability for private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts in CA.

BREAKING: The Biden administration announces plan to bring the deported military vets back to the U.S.  This comes after years of advocacy by immigrants' rights and veterans rights groups. aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…

@ahilan_toolong @TomJawetz @paulkrugman @nranjana @HinaShamsi @ShakSpeak @mtajsar @HamdanNaji @PeterBibring @leegelernt Don’t forget USCIS’s ongoing CARRP program - the federal government’s continuing effort to railroad and deny the immigration and naturalization applications of Muslim immigrants based on untested suspicions and discriminatory criteria masquerading as “national security concerns”

@TomJawetz @paulkrugman @nranjana @HinaShamsi @ShakSpeak @JennieACLU @mtajsar @HamdanNaji @PeterBibring @leegelernt True. My list wasn’t even close to comprehensive. There’s also the No Fly List, the repeated arrests and lengthy detention of Imams in SoCal on alleged technical imm violations - three years in a row if I remember right. Special registration. On and on. We sued most of them.

@paulkrugman @WangCecillia I had hoped to ignore 9/11 this year, but this is too much. I was a junior atty @ACLU in NY on 9/11. I will never forget that day. I _also_ will never forget the nearly 1k people, mostly Muslim immigrants, indefinitely jailed in the Ashcroft raids. 1/

Gov. @GavinNewsom, these are the stories of people who were transferred into ICE custody during this pandemic. They were given no information, no way to protect their health or the health of others. youtube.com/watch?v=YNR241…

“The Governor @GavinNewsom and Attorney General @AGBecerra bear responsibility for the substantial risk of serious harm that ICE transfers pose to persons in state and local custody…we owe it to the parties and the public to resolve the heart of the matter.” #SaveLives

This #MothersDay2020, all families deserve to be together. Gov. @GavinNewsom, you can make this a reality. Issue a moratorium on all transfers to ICE now! #StopICEtransfers #KeepFamiliesTogether action.aclu.org/ca-gov-halt-ic…

Thank you @miriamkrinsky @chesaboudin @GeorgeGascon for your leadership in calling on the CA Supreme Court to stop California from continuing to senselessly transfer people into ICE’s death traps.

BREAKING: Women in the Adelanto Detention Center have begun a hunger strike to oppose the conditions within the detention center

We agree, this is why we’ve asked Gov. @GavinNewsom and @AGBecerra to take action to protect vulnerable people trapped in jails, juvenile facilities, and prisons - and prevent transfers to ICE: action.aclu.org/ca-covid-actio…

People imprisoned by ICE are being charged for soap. Most of the time all they have access to is shampoo. In Adelanto Detention they are currently on hunger strike because they are forced to clean their common areas without soap in the middle of a pandemic bit.ly/2xu1tti

#BREAKING: In our lawsuit demanding ICE release people from immigration detention in Mesa Verde & Yuba County in light of #COVID19, the judge has ordered ICE to provide info so the court can begin the process of releasing people from custody. #FreeThemAll aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…

@zoenicole this confirms that we have officially failed you by not teaching you to say No!

Me, not taking my own advice: Sr atty: Do you have capacity to __? Brain: 0%. Don’t say it. You literally have no time. Body: Please. I’m begging you, we’ve been sitting for 12 hours and we need sleep. Me: Absolutely. No problem. Let me know if there’s anything else you need!

#BREAKING: We've filed two lawsuits against Gov. @GavinNewsom & Attorney General @AGBecerra to: 1⃣Halt transfers of individuals into ICE custody 2⃣Drastically reduce the # of people held in juvenile facilities & county jails during the #COVID19 pandemic aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…

#BREAKING: We've filed a class-action lawsuit against ICE to demand a drastic reduction of people detained at #Adelanto during the pandemic. Putting people at such heightened exposure to #COVID19 is not only inhumane, it also violates the 5th amendment. aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…
