It's long past time to #EndDHSRetaliation. For the last several years, so many of my clients have suffered retaliation from DHS for speaking out about the immigration system. We need to redress these harms and adopt a comprehensive policy to #ProtectImmigrantVoices -->
Case is point: #RaviRagbir - a nationally recognized immigrant rights activists suddenly arrested and detained in 2018. As his wife and immigrant rights advocate Amy Gottlieb wrote just this week in @washingtonpost, ICE is STILL pursuing his deportation. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
And #JeanMontrevil - prominent immigrant rights activist and member of @judsonchurchnyc, deported to #Haiti and separated from his four US children, who still advocate for his return. It's long past time to #BringJeanHome. Listen to his and other stories:
On this day in history three years ago, ICE detained immigrant rights leader #RaviRagbir, and police arrested community members protesting this injustice. A reminder that when people stand up for immigrant rights, they are not treated with kid gloves. 1/ wnyc.org/story/arrests-…
Ravi Ragbir, Jean Montrevil, and @NewSanctuaryNYC stood up against cruel and inhumane deportation policies. For that, they were surveilled, arrested, detained, and transferred to an immigration prison in FL in January 2018. 2/ theintercept.com/2018/01/19/ice…
Jean, co-founder of @NewSanctuaryNYC and congregant of @judsonchurchnyc was deported to Haiti on Jan.16, 2018, after coming to the U.S. as lawful permanent resident more than 30 years ago. ICE's actions separated him from his four U.S. citizen children. 3/ theintercept.com/2020/01/16/jea…

You’ve probably heard about Claudio’s courageous activism. In 2012, Claudio, a father of two, was detained in Broward Transitional Center. He organized with activists from the inside, as described in @ThisAmerLife & @thenation:

Immigrant rights activists then successfully advocated for Claudio’s release. He returned to his wife and sons, with the permission of ICE, who in 2012 granted him an order of supervision that authorized him to live and work in the U.S.
