3/ "We want to be a beacon of light for those who may be in fear. So when I got the call, I couldn't do anything but accept. There is nothing strange to us in doing this. This is our heart and our passion." bit.ly/2xSOnlH
4/ ICE officers are, technically, allowed to enter "sensitive locations," such as churches, schools and hospitals, but generally try to avoid doing so. bit.ly/2xSOnlH
5/5 “I say to the federal authorities: that you are well aware and on notice that you are not able to come into a church and demand anyone that is a representative of the faith to give anyone to anyone.” — @JacksonLeeTX18 bit.ly/2xSOnlH

1/ NEW: Most Central American migrants won’t qualify for asylum in the United States under a new Trump administration policy.

The policy, slated to take effect Tuesday, would also affect unaccompanied children, reports the @AP.

2/ The Trump administration wants to make migrants who pass through another nation before entering the U.S. at its southern border ineligible for asylum.

The effort would likely disqualify most Central American migrants. bit.ly/2JAfPvu

That’s according to federal data gathered by an immigrant advocacy group.

Democrats' bill does nothing to address the humanitarian crisis on our border washex.am/31XibLS
There is a humanitarian crisis at our border. A record number of individuals are crossing our border, overwhelming entry points and causing a massive backlog in processing and courtroom hearings. That includes 56,278 unaccompanied minors so far in 2019, up 74% year over year.
As of early June, the Department of Health and Human Services had more than 13,200 minors in custody.

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...
#ChildTrafficking #Immigration

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

I am proud to announce that I have been certified "dangerous and unprofessional" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and I'm pleased to say that the feeling is mutual.
To be clear: the U.S. government believes it was "dangerous and unprofessional" of me to tell the story of a single mother arbitrarily detained by #ICE with no thought for her 8-year-old son, and to request support for her from my fellow citizens.

I have a problem with this.
ADDENDUM: Author requested that #ICE contact local @AILANational chapter to "share these concerns." ICE AILA liaison called later that week to inform me that #ICE believed that I was "endangering officer safety"...

...by advocating for public to call #ICE to support a client.

Thread: WHILE YOU WERE NOT LOOKING #Immigration
What the Trump admin did to immigration while everyone was busy with #StormyDaniels and the $hitshow that is this presidency:
👏 @AmericasVoice
1-ICE ended policy of presuming release for pregnant detainees;
ICE detention centers (and the for profit ones) are ill-equipped to treat medical issues pregnant women face.
Ice stating fear of flight. We tax payers pay for ankle monitors-Cheaper
This is the previous policy
2- Considering a policy to deny legal residency-deport legal immigrants who rely on Earned Income tax credit &health insurance subsidies (Tax paying immigrants) not to mention undocumented immigrants leave $10 billion in taxes they never file to collect. apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/wo…
