Mexico did not agree to increase the number of asylum seekers having to wait for their asylum cases processing in Mexico.
THEY DID NOT.
Period.
Anything else you hear is A LIE.
#TrumpMexicoHoax
1- If this agreement was anything close to what the administration is claiming it to be, they would have released it.

2- any change to the asylum process has to go to congress first.

PERIOD

#TrumpMexicoHoax
Mexico finessed trump.
They showed urgency by sending a minister over to the US right away, played everyone and left.
This administration is predictable, easy to manipulate. This is not a good thing.
By announcing to the world: everyone can go to Mexico to seek asylum, trump effectively created a new industry, a cartel control of an abundance of poor and helpless people to be used as a product.
Trump elevating himself on the back of poor minorities again #TrumpMexicoHoax

When you realize the 500 word agreement reached between the United and Mexico has Mexico agreeing to NOTHING.

Media: READ THE AGREEMENT INSTEAD OF REPEATING THIS ADMINISTRATION’S LIES
Everything “agreed ” was agreed to MONTHS AGO.
Trump saved face after making a dumb threat by relying on the media repeating lies INSTEAD OF READING THE AGREEMENT

Dublin Central Housing Action
@D_C_H_A
Almost 20 years ago, the Irish government decided to create the system of Direct Provision. A system that would strip asylum seekers of their fundamental human rights to privacy (+family life), dignity, work, and enrich private companies who run the system
There are people who have spent as long as 10 years in limbo. Waiting for a decision. When the first decision comes, it's usually a negative one so people have to appeal to get protection. And may lose an appeal and go to court.
During the appeal, many aren't allowed to work. For parents, this effective condemns their children to a childhood of State-sponsored poverty as they are deprived of material supports. Simple things like going to the movies become difficult for children in Direct Provision

Conglomerate Thread of Charities/Other Ways to Help Refugees

I have stuff all over the place &want to bring it together. Even my Giant Thread of WAYS TO MITIGATE the #FakeTrumpEmergency has lots of political action-on-the-wall & non-immigrant specific items, which is great, but.
1. Annunciation House

This charity in El Paso gives shelter, food, clothing, hygiene products, bus tickets, etc., to 1000s of refugee families released by CBP, to help get them over the next few days and then on to family they have in the United States.
annunciationhouse.org/financial-dona…
2. Borderland Rainbow Center

Also El Paso based, @BRainbowCenter, assists the thousands of immigrants dumped on the bus station's doorstep with no food, money, clothing or anywhere to stay. They have NEEDS!

Thread: the Trump @StateDept tampered with key evidence for women's #asylum cases, and undermined the impartiality of our human rights reporting system. Fellow immigration attorney Joanna Gaughan caught them red handed:
2/ Every year @StateDept releases a report on each country's human rights practices. @TheJusticeDept immigration judges and @DHSgov asylum officers use these reports as evidence for asylum cases & emphasize them over other sources bc DoS is considered impartial and reliable.
3/ The photo? Honduras report, domestic violence. L is 2016, R is 2017 (latest available). Yellow describes the nice laws to protect women. Pink was eliminated in 2017, explains that the laws aren't actually enforced, and that rape and dv remain serious problems in Honduras.

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).

Today I prepared a beautiful 6-year-old girl in a pink hat for an #asylum interview.

ME: Do you want to go back to El Salvador?

CLIENT [eyes wide]: No!

ME: Why not?

CLIENT [looking down at table]: Because of the bad people.

She'll be deported before her 10th birthday.
That tweet above is pretty much verbatim what she'll be saying on Monday; her father will provide the rest. He'll tell the interviewer about the threats of kidnapping & murder, and what gangs do to children of people they extort if they can't escape. She will not receive asylum.
The case will be referred back to an immigration judge, who will find that she & her family have not suffered persecution based on any grounds that the law can recognize. By the time of her hearing, AG Sessions will have personally removed any doubt of the law around this point.

1/ BREAKING: @TheJusticeDept has just authorized immigration judges to deny #asylum applications without a hearing. Like most Trump-era administrative violence, it has been unnoticed & unreported.

*sound of Scotch pouring into glass*

THREAD

#TrumpImmigration #HereToStay
2/ Important context: As head of @TheJusticeDept, the Attorney General has final say over all cases before the administrative #immigration courts. AG may snatch a case away from the Board of Immigration Appeals anytime and decide it himself by directing BIA to refer it to him.
3/ Here is the 2014 BIA holding--upholding precedent from 1989--which the AG was so intent on getting to his own desk. It may not mean much to anyone who had the good sense not to go to law school, but take a shot. (No, really: *take an actual shot* and give it a try.)
