In Matamoros, Reynosa & RGV, heard disturbing accounts from people seeking asylum and from humanitarian and faith workers/volunteers about horrific conditions & barriers to asylum.
Spoke to single women, men, and families without phones having been extorted and robbed countless times in their journey to the border, now unable to access life-saving asylum protection because the USG has made CBP One the ONLY path to asylum under new #asylumban
Heard multiple accounts of family separation by CBP, including numerous Haitian pregnant women separated from their husbands, 21-year-old CBP separated from family without providing any info, leaving them in fear whether she’s been expelled alone to highly dangerous parts in MX
Hmmm ... thankful for the efforts but this PM is a ticking bomb once immigration hearings resume: makes the life of IJs and DHS easier to meet quotas and churn decisions, ain't good at all for immigrants seeking their day in court. Sorry to spoil the rejoicing.
First the good stuff.
Love the building entry ban for ppl w symptoms, travel, etc.
Also emphasizing use of you know lawyerly things like stipulations, waiver of resp presence, joint motions. It would be nice if OPLA actually takes that to heart.

UPDATE: Atty just got off the phone with mom who was crying happy tears! Thank you to all, especially @JoaquinCastrotx & the @HispanicCaucus, for applying public pressure to @CBP to release these children. After a terrifying night facing the unthinkable, they have been released.
The fight for justice for this family is far from over, but the kids were given an order of supervision allowing them to go with their parents at least for now. Remember, this outcome is likely only because this family is one of the less than 2% of #MPP cases with an atty.
The absurd & terrifying situation yesterday is one we will continue to see b/c of the #asylumban & other recent changes. But many families will face this alone. We must keep fighting with everything we have to shut this whole damn #migrantpersecutionprotocols down. #SaveAsylum
Good Morning everyone! This @NicoletteGlazer twitting as a guest to my mom's account coz Twitter think blocking trolls is automation or twitting about Admin's appalling immigration policies & practices is harassing. So this is twitter version of moving into ur parent's basement.
@NicoletteGlazer Well it is worth the embarrassment because it is a big, big day at the 9th Circuit today. Both the Asylum Ban and #RemaininMexico (MPP) are up for oral argument back to back and it WILL be epic.

@NicoletteGlazer 1/ Here we go. Asylum Ban I is first. Panel is Judges Fernandez, Fletcher, and Paez. Good but tough panel.
Myself, @AmyMaldonadoLaw, @HMAesq, @Allandaros, and @ColumbiaLaw's Elora Mukherjee sue on behalf of 126 detained mothers and kids subjected to impossible standards/procedures while seeking protection.
No child should be deported when there is a 49% chance they’ll die. #asylumban

The #AsylumBan is bad enough. But the admin is attaching policies and practices to the Ban to make it impossible to pass even a simple threshhold fear screening - even if you are a child.
Let me reiterate. This is not even to be granted asylum. This is asking to be allowed to see a Judge.
There are now three (or more) layers of review for positive decisions referring cases to Judges. Zero review for cases barred from seeing judges.

As the #AsylumBan decision was issued, handing death sentences to 1000s of ppl seeking safety, I was crossing into the US from Mexicali after 3 days providing legal triage to victims of Trump’s #MigrantPersecutionProtocols. I then drove 4 hours back to LA, blissfully unaware. 1/
News of this cruel decision from #SCOTUS is sinking in within the context of what I saw and heard over the last three days. Seems like a good time to share a bit of what is happening in Mexicali, where 6000+ ppl have been forced back after seeking asylum. Here is my context. 2/
It’s brutally hot in Mexicali. When I arrived it was about 105 & ppl kept telling me it was 120 two weeks ago. Multiple ppl I met mentioned there kids had suffered illnesses related to the heat. And that’s another thing, there are so many kids. So many toddlers and babies. 3/ 
Here’s another asylum change: an unaccompanied child from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America could be returned against their will without regard to whether they will be persecuted.
Here’s why... /1
Here’s why... /1
Under current law such kids aren’t barred at all from requesting asylum and they are placed in removal proceedings and can request asylum affirmatively. /2
Under this bill they could be repatriated unless an immigration officer who screens them finds that it is more probable than not that they will be trafficked or that they could establish eligibility for asylum. Here’s the catch... /3

YOU can directly support the #MigrantCaravan & get people out of detention. By serving as a “custodian” for someone charged under the Trump admin’s “zero-tolerance” policy, you can ensure someone’s release & give them a fighting chance at asylum. Here’s how: /1

We’ve been posting bail for people charged w/ “illegal entry” in SD under #OperationStreamline. The court made it harder for us to post bail by requiring people have “custodians” in the community in order to be released, even if their bail's been paid. /2

Here’s where we need you! We’re looking for community members, congregations, and organizations willing to serve as “third-party custodians.” This will mean the difference between freedom and detention. If you can volunteer, please fill out this form: /3
