Must-read @DanBarryNYT article: "He was out there somewhere, forsaken in the city where he had sought sanctuary. His damaged eyes blurring the foreign world around him, he was lost in the snow-caked Buffalo sprawl, underfed, underdressed, speaking a language few understood."

A half-blind refugee is left in a parking lot by Border Patrol agents who mistakenly had detained him. For six days, his family searched the cold streets of Buffalo. Where was Nurul Amin Shah Alam? My story; images by Brendan Bannon. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

NEW: The Trump admin is trying to resettle more white Afrikaners at the exclusion of refugees waiting for years. IRAP recently updated our legal challenge to the dismantling of USRAP to address this kind of discriminatory repurposing of resettlement. nytimes.com/2026/05/07/us/…

IRAP condemns reported plans to ship Afghan refugees who assisted the U.S. to a country they have never been to or face persecution at the hands of the Taliban upon forced return to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, this is consistent with so many inhumane and illegal policies instituted by this administration. Our allies, and all people fleeing persecution, deserve better. nytimes.com/2026/04/21/wor…

YVC continues to build strong partnerships. Reconnecting with @IRAP reminded us why this work matters. Behind every referral for family reunification is a family, a story, and hope. From case referrals➡️ to systems change, we’re asking: How do we scale impact?

We are proud to join dozens of human rights organizations to oppose a plan for the mass detention of Cuban immigrants at Guantánamo Bay. "Time and again, we have seen the U.S. government try to use Guantánamo as a legal black hole to mistreat migrants, subjecting them to inhumane conditions and interfering with both their right to seek protection in the United States and their right to counsel." -Pedro Sepulveda, IRAP Read more from @jlosc9: theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

“Just as we previously blocked the Trump administration from terrorizing refugees in Minnesota, we have now stopped this policy of illegal arrest and detention from being carried out on a national scale." - IRAP refugeerights.org/news-resources…
Democracy Forward@DemocracyFwd

UPDATE: Court BLOCKS policy that would have forced the mass arrest and indefinite detention of lawfully admitted refugees. This ruling protects refugees from the Trump-Vance admin’s attempted cruel, unlawful treatment while our case proceeds.

He was evacuated from Afghanistan due to his work with U.S. Special Forces and lived in Texas with his family. Read their statement: x.com/afghanevac/sta…
#AfghanEvac@afghanevac

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal’s family has released a statement following his death less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody. He was a husband, a father of six, and an Afghan wartime ally who worked alongside U.S. Special Forces. Full statement below.
