Remain in Mexico is terrifying.

CBP had a glitch that accidentally changed court dates to a later day.

People didn't find out in time. When they showed up at border, running late, they were denied entry.

ICE lawyers then said they should be deported. sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigrati…
This is what the administration wants.

It has zero to do with migrant protection. They want to make it hell to keep court dates & find lawyers. It's much harder on that side of the border.

Even if it's the gov's fault, ICE turns around & says migrants should be deported anyway.
This piece is so disturbing to us.

Migrants have to wake up early, get to the border, wait for hours, get shuttled to court, & wait more.

All for a few minutes in front of a judge in a process that's impossible to understand w/out a lawyer—not guaranteed in immigration court.
In San Diego, they were lucky: The judge said ICE hadn't given sufficient notice.

It won't be the same when this comes to different border towns. Judges may agree w/ICE & have people deported for the gov's mistakes.

After all that, migrants are whisked back to Mexico.

The U.S. is engaged in "forever wars" around the world yet we refuse to accept responsibility for our actions and grant refugees asylum.

Since Trump took office, we've been granting fewer refugee applications.

This is a total disgrace.
The U.S. hasn't been very welcoming to refugees in comparison to other large nations, such as Germany and Lebanon.

huffpost.com/entry/refugees…
This is a mistake.

According to research by @amnesty: "two out of three respondents agreed that their national government should do more to help refugees fleeing war or persecution."

Congress is taking action.

After our complaint to DHS that families w/kids were held at Karnes past 20 days allowed under Flores, 17 members of @HispanicCaucus like @JoaquinCastrotx, @RepRaulGrijalva, & @AOC are telling DHS to release families.
…sionalhispaniccaucus-castro.house.gov/media-center/p…
Thank you to all members of the Hispanic Caucus for this.

We need to get these families released, & further we need to END FAMILY DETENTION once & for all.

It's monstrous that we lock up parents & children for seeking better lives. No moral, modern society should do so.
18* members, whoops!

Listen to these stories.

A mother w/her child trekking to the border, no clue about family separation, arriving & jailed in a detention center, where she says "inside every cell" there was crying.

We're torturing families for wanting better lives.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Elsa, the mother, was deported while her son, Anthony, was kept in a Houston shelter.

Even though the Trump administration said there was no family separation policy.

She was alone in Guatemala, without her child, unsure what to do. She got calls from him, but that's it.
Three MONTHS later, Anthony was flown to Guatemala. They were reunited in the airport, mother bawling.

We continue to see scenes like this in the States, like what happened w/baby Juliet in San Francisco, even though Trump said he ended family separation. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Report here is obfuscation. Issue isn't the total collective campaign spending, it’s about who broke the law & how. #Remain campaigns were fined for failing to submitting returns correctly. They didn’t act fraudulently to overspend. The largest fine was to Lib Dems, £18K. 1/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Carole Cadwalladr & others have reported extensively: The #Leave campaigns have been found guilty of serious breaches of the law by the Electoral Commission and the ICO and are now under criminal investigation for other offences. 2/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Vote Leave – Official Leave campaign: Fined £61K by Electoral Commission for colluding with BeLeave & overspending the £7m limit by £500k. They paid #AIQ this amount for Facebook ads in the name of BeLeave. Vote Leave now referred to Met/NCA for further suspected fraud. 3/

I think it is time to address this nonsense that remainers position on Corbyn implies are somehow anti Labour. They aren't.

Remainers draw from a very wide pool. In general the remain project is apolitical though we very much stand against right wing extremists. The rise of
xenophobia and fascism should be a concern to us all and the leave campaigns have very worrying connections in that direction.

Apart from that, as we include people from across political divides our driver is not a specific political ideaology. It is the wish to continue with
a relationship that has secured peace, enhanced all our lives in one way or another and allowed us to benefit from the greatest "collective bargaining" experiment in history.

With that foundation laid I turn to the 'Corbyn' issue.

This is our greatest sadness. We truly needed

I am getting very bullish on #Mexico. Tweetstorm to follow. (1/18)
Mexico has a young population, a growing multilingual middle class with 21st century skills, a geographical advantage over all other low-cost manufacturing centers, and a president-elect (#AMLO) with a mandate for “national regeneration.” (2/18)
Despite negative comparisons to autocrats such as Castro and Chavez by some US critics, AMLO seems to be an economic nationalist who aims to boost living standards by leveraging Mexico’s relationship with the US. (3/18)

THREAD on new 9th Circuit decision in Rodriguez v. Swartz, our (@ACLUaz @sdACLU + @ACLU) cross-#border shooting case: On Oct. 10, 2012, a U.S. Border Patrol agent on duty in Nogales, AZ fired between 14 & 30 bullets across the #border. aclusandiego.org/wp-content/upl…
Approximately 10 of those bullets hit J.A. Rodriguez, a 16 year old boy peacefully walking down the street on the other side of the #border wall, in Nogales, Mexico.
The 9th Circuit opinion first *affirms* the AZ district court's decision denying Agent Swartz qualified immunity: 📢📢📢"It is inconceivable that any reasonable officer could have thought that he or she could kill J.A. for no reason." Slip Op. at 9.

1. All of this flagged up by #Remain before A50 passed by the CONS & Labour..I remember distinctly our warnings that if it went thru Control passed to the EU27. It goes to prove how much damage both parties are prepared to inflict on our country to impose their ideology on us all
2. This price to buy a Transition that merely allows our politicians to kick the real impact down the road so they can con ppl into thinking things will be fine after #Brexit. If we don't #StopBrexitSaveBritain we'll be out on 29/03/19 & it will be too late to avoid the cliff.
3. This is all about leaving the EU 29/03/19..once out we've lost our BEST POSSIBLE DEAL, it will be Pay & Obey No Say on many issues ad infinitum; we'll never get back in. At that point we lose Rights...we're already losing jobs to the EU as companies relocate at least in part.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
