Last year, we won a temporary stay of deportation for journalist Manuel Duran, who was arrested in Memphis in April, then detained & threatened with deportation.

This year, we'll keep fighting for immigrants in the Deep South. #SPLCWinterReadingList bit.ly/2Bb112a
Like so many others who have been deported or are detained & awaiting deportation, Manuel Duran would be in grave danger if her were deported from the US. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
Law students volunteered with us to help defend our clients. "Immigration prisons exact an enormous emotional toll, & they make it nearly impossible for prisoners to find legal representation for their asylum cases," one wrote. splcenter.org/attention-on-d…

"Let me be clear: walls work and we have them we are stopping illegals from getting into our country.” — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Let’s be clear: walls don’t work and no human is illegal.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): How many children 17 years old or younger have died in DHS, ICE or CBP custody since you took office?

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: I will get back you.

That number should be 0.
"I'm not a liar. We've never had a policy of family separation." — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

We represent parents who have been separated from their children. Secretary Nielsen's claims do not reflect the facts that we are seeing on the ground. bit.ly/2Ltf7iV

Peter Brown is a US citizen who was mistakenly detained by ICE after local sheriffs arrested him. We're suing. npr.org/2018/12/18/677…
In January, 17 Florida counties signed Basic Ordering Agreements, which compensate local sheriffs for their collaboration with ICE. Our lawsuit is the first to challenge a Florida sheriff for unlawfully detaining people at ICE’s request as part of a BOA. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/0…
Peter Brown was released from detention but as a result of the ordeal he lost his job and was unemployed. He also lives with the fear that he’ll be sent away from his family and friends. splcenter.org/seeking-justic…

None of this gaslighting about 'Right-wing extremism' is new. The Obama administration repeatedly used DHS and DOJ to indicate that the 'real threats' came from veterans, Republicans, Teapartiers and "sovereign citizen" groups.
2014, @MSNBC and @CNN used specious #SPLC data and Obama administration propaganda to conclude that "since 911....More Americans have died at the hands of Right-wing political violence than Muslim extremists." Patently absurd propaganda, repeated ad nauseam.
Feb 2015, @CNN joined discredited hate-group, #SPLC and Obama admin again; "DHS report warns of domestic right-wing terror threat." The "report" wasn't released, and CNN claimed to have been leaked a copy, publishing only salacious smears. creators.com/read/michelle-…

Thread: Looking Ahead after the Kavanaugh Confirmation

1. All roads lead to the mid-term elections on 6 November, and the Democrats and their lemmings are marching straight over the cliff. But what’s happening on the Republican side to facilitate that?
2. I think PLENTY! Let’s review what the Democrats have done lately first.
3. ChiFi, other Senate Democrats, their staffs, leftwing lawyers, activists, and others have conspired to tamper with witnesses and suborn perjury:

Everyday I see my reading list growing impossibly long despite reading more than ever before in my life. After I read a great book, I look to the citations and think, now I want to read all of those.
If I read with a note pad and pen alongside me, I can't get through much more than a few paragraphs without writing a ton of notes and losing my mind in deep thought. It makes for slow going but deep comprehension and magnificent inspiration.
I want to go back to Hobbes v Locke. Then Nietzsche and Freud Again. Then Rousseau. Trace that all the way to Blank Slatists and Evo Biologists, and the widening divide between science and fantasy.
