THREAD: Last December we said no more to @ICEgov’s retaliation and filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding the agency restore our free & confidential National Immigration Detention Hotline. Today is our first day in court. Tweet your support with the hashtag #RestoreTheHotline 
@ICEgov In 2019, we worked with #OITNB to provide an accurate portrayal of life inside a detention center. They featured our hotline on the show’s 7th season. Two weeks after the show’s premiere, ICE shut down our hotline. #RestoreTheHotline
People in ICE custody do not have access to a free phone call. Private phone companies such as Talton Telecommunications profit off of high phone call rates, which is why people can't afford to connect with their families and attorneys #RestoreTheHotline
THREAD: A year ago, we worked with #OITNB to provide an accurate portrayal of life inside a detention center. They featured our hotline on the show’s 7th season. Two weeks after the show’s premiere, ICE shut down our hotline. Today, that retaliation ends. #OrangeForever
We are filing a lawsuit in federal court against DHS and ICE to reinstate our free hotline in immigrant detention centers nationwide. We will also seek a preliminary injunction to have the hotline put back into place and to direct ICE to stop retaliating against @MigrantFreedom
