After a year of research, the @Tulane Immigrant Rights Clinic is releasing a report next week on prolonged and punitive immigration detention in Louisiana. Join us on Tues, 5/25 at 11am CT as we review major findings, register here: tulane.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
For this report, our students analyzed 499 habeas cases challenging unlawful immigration detention in federal court in Louisiana. This research comes as these last resort habeas filings have dramatically risen in the past year, with immigrants held longer & during COVID.
Louisiana houses detention centers that hold more immigrants than any other state, save Texas. This has been true since 2019, when local jails contracted w ICE for federal $ to fill beds emptied by bipartisan criminal justice reform in the state (JRI).

I am done.
I am kind. Compassionate. Gracious. I truly believe we ALL do the best we can with what we have. When we know better, we do better, when we can.
But I do not think any UCP MLA is learning or wanting to do better. They continually do worse.

I am done with UCP creating needless stress & struggles for our most vulnerable with changes to #AISH. I have heard of 2 deaths by suicide directly due to UCP cuts. There will be more. Those on #AISH matter to me. They deserve compassion, not cuts. Support, not distress. /2
I am done being told there were no cuts to Ed. Bullshit. Feb had direct cuts to both PUF & ADLC & we KNOW if you compare numbers, there are cuts. How DARE UCP cause more struggles for kids, esp those with special needs. That is beyond cruel & immoral. These cuts harm kids. /3

Planned Parenthood kills hundreds of THOUSANDS of children each year & rakes in hundreds of MILLIONS in taxpayer funding.

Did you also know?

There are 2 main ways to STOP Planned Parenthood from taking our money.
Most of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding comes from Medicaid

HHS is the fed department that distributes this taxpayer $

If Planned Parenthood were ineligible for Medicaid, its vast well of tax funding would dry up

This would put PP’s entire business model on the rocks
The 2 ways to “exclude” Planned Parenthood from Medicaid are called:

>>Mandatory Exclusion<<

&

>>Permissive Exclusion<<

All pro-lifers should memorize these terms.
