“I actually want you to know we have a standing meeting at the White House once a week. We have a president that likes us, President Trump.” This is what the founder of a hate group said last week. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
Brigitte Gabriel said this at the annual ACT for America conference held last week in DC. ACT for America is a hate group that pushes wild anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, denigrates American Muslims and deliberately conflates mainstream and radical Islam. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
This isn’t the first time Gabriel has bragged about her connections to the White House. In 2016, her group touted having a “direct line” to the administration through Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. huffingtonpost.com/entry/act-for-…
In March 2017 Gabriel met with White House staffer Paul Teller to hand-deliver a petition in support of Trump’s Muslim ban. buzzfeednews.com/article/hannah…
This is yet another example of President Trump opening the White House doors to extremism. Once relegated to the fringes, the radical right now has a toehold in the White House.

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…

President Trump, who once referred to African nations as “shithole countries” and said that visa-holding Nigerians would never “go back to their huts” once they saw the United States, is holding a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Asked about his past comments on immigration, President Trump says that “there’s no reason to apologize” because American immigration laws “are laughed at all over the world, they are laughed at for their stupidity.” Apologizing “wouldn’t make ten cents worth of difference.”
President Buhari on the “shithole” comments: “I’m not sure about the validity or whether that allegation against the president was true or not, so the best thing for me is to keep quiet.” President Trump, for his part, says “we didn’t discuss it because the president knows me.”
