♦️Project Corazon♦️UPDATE

Lawyers for Good Government is sending a volunteer Immigration lawyer to this “tent city” in Tornillo. She will be part of a group of volunteer lawyers conducting legal intake interviews with hundreds of detained children.

nytimes.com/2018/10/12/us/…
Based on her experience we hope to be able to send additional volunteer lawyers to assist at Tornillo and other detention facilities jailing children across the United States.
We’re also currently providing remote legal representation to detained fathers at Karnes detention center, drafting legal briefs for dozens of asylum seekers every month, and sending volunteer lawyers to several family detention centers.
Please support our work if you can, either by donating through our Facebook “donate” button, by texting CORAZON to 91999 or on our website at L4GG.org/donate.

And remember. Never give up. Never give in.

Always #Resist.

And vote to #FlipTheSenate

4 LAWYERS, 5,000 REFUGEES, 19 HOUR DAYS

On November 10, 2018, Spanish-speaking immigration attorney attorney Nancy Arevalo traveled to Mexico, with support from the #L4GG Foundation, to provide legal help to people in the migrant caravan

This is her experience
I arrived at midnight on Saturday the 10th and met the other three U.S. immigration attorney volunteers whom I was going to work with for the weekend - Rebecca, Charlene, and Graham. That was the entire legal team for those days, for over 5,000 people in the caravan.

@Alyssa_Milano I agree, this incident MUST be investigated. Justice MUST be served.

But that’s only the start. We have to review EVERYTHING.

The separation policy. Its implementation. Whether it violates the Flores settlement. Whether it violates the stay. And more.

Thread
When the Trump administration began the family separation policy, they first denied it existed. Then Sessions officially announced the policy, ridiculously proclaiming that the Bible supported it.

Trump lied and blamed Democrats for creating the policy.

time.com/5314769/family…
There must be hearings about who began this, when, what instructions they gave to CBP, what legal authority they claimed supports it and what their implementation plan was.

Of course, it’s clear they had no plan. They were playing with children’s lives.

So all of us in the #resistance are giving ourselves a big pat on the back for the #BlueWave. After all, we took 40 seats and soon @TeamPelosi will be House Speaker

Great job! We think. After two long years we can finally take it easy.

NOT. SO. FAST.

<Thread>
Yes, it was wonderful to see those Democratic candidates win. And nice to see our effort rewarded.

With control of the House, we now have a Constitutional check on the president PLUS we control more governorships and state legislatures

But there’s still a TON of work to do.
As the past few days have shown, we still have a corrupt president: compromised by Russia, beholden to Saudi Arabia, unwilling to acknowledge basic facts about climate change and seemingly unconcerned about the sanctity of human life.

1/ ME, A VERY TIRED #IMMIGRATION LAWYER: this just in, our awful government is doing an illegal thing to #asylum seekers

YOU, A CONCERNED CITIZEN: Like, *how* illegal though

ME:

*pours a Laphroaig double*

okay, let's do this
2/ 1st, this is not exactly an executive order. That's coming later, via "Presidential proclamation"--obvs a totally cool & normal way to make things happen in a democracy

This "final interim rule" skips usual due process and goes into effect NOW, because #MigrantCaravan
3/ N.B.: This doesn't complete cut off all possibility of legal protection for #asylum seekers. "Withholding of removal" (a form of relief I like to call "asylum lite") and protection under the Convention Against Torture remain. That's not to say that this is necessarily OK.

1) 💥BOMBSHELL: What was Barack Obama’s "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”, which established the Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program, all about? $$$ & Immigration. Pay attention...

2) So Obama created this stimulus package for physicians to buy this technology and make all health records electronic. But why? There was a big push for this. In fact, prominent venture capitalists jumped at this opportunity. #Immigration #SaveTheChildren #ChildTrafficking
3) In its economic recovery package, the Obama administration plans to spend $19 billion to accelerate the use of computerized medical records in doctors’ offices. #Immigration #ChildTrafficking #LockThemUp

1/ Thread: Here’s everything we know about immigrant children being separated from their families. #ZeroTolerance #separatingchildren #ImmigrantChildren trib.it/hE
2/ About 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border, but the actual number is likely higher. trib.it/hE
3/ This comes after the Trump administration announced a “zero tolerance” policy. That means all adults crossing the border illegally will be prosecuted. Since children can't be sent to federal jail, kids who are detained are being separated from parents. trib.it/hE
