Federal agencies have attempted to silence the immigrant rights movement more than 1,010 times. Want to hear our voices? The Immigrant Rights Clinic @nyulaw and @NewSanctuaryNYC launch immigrantrightsvoices.org to #ProtectImmigrantVoices (a thread). theintercept.com/2020/11/01/ice…
Retaliation against dissent isn’t new. But over the last four years, we’ve seen an explosive rise in the use of surveillance, arrest, detention, deportation, & prosecution against immigrant activists & defenders. immigrantrightsvoices.org 
For those of us at Immigrant Rights Clinic @nyulaw & @NewSanctuaryNYC, this hit home in 2018 when ICE detained @NewSanctuaryNYC leaders Ravi Ragbir & Jean Montrevil in a joint operation after they spoke out against the cruelty of the deportation machine. theintercept.com/2018/01/19/ice…
1/From Ravi Ragbir's Defence Comittee. Ravi’s case is back in the Second Circuit, but His First Amendment Retaliation Claim Lives On!
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
2/Today’s order from the Supreme Court does not call into question the Second Circuit’s ruling that deporting immigrant-rights activists in retaliation for their political speech violates the First Amendment. #IStandwithRavi
3/Such retaliation remains illegal and wrong. The only question posed by today’s order is whether federal courts have jurisdiction to hear such First Amendment claims, & for multiple reasons, they clearly do. #AbolishICE
