We went with a team of 6 attorneys & legal assistants on Tuesday to the Carrizo Springs children's prison. We gave 170+ children a Know Your Rights presentation & 30 children a legal screening.

We will be there every wk to conduct legal services as long as Carrizo is open.
We know it's crazy to hear the idea that children get "Know Your Rights" legal trainings, but that's the reality. 1000s of children are forced to go to court ALONE.
On Carrizo: @HHSGov gov are legally bound to provide lawyers to minors. However they sent a directive against providing legal services there. Insane.

This disruption of government contracting for legal services left children at this facility without access to legal services.
In response we just showed up and started providing legal aid.

We can only do this because you all donated to us.

We're going to keep showing up.

Keep supporting this if you can: raicestexas.org/donate/?ms=car…

This new agreement with Guatemala puts 100s of thousands of people's lives at risk.

What Trump is doing with these third country agreements violates the principle of asylum and directly leads to people being kidnapped, beaten and sexually abused.
Guatemala is not a safe country.

250k+ people fled since Oct. Good background here on climate crisis leading to this: newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

It has the highest rate of femicide (the killing of a woman or girl, in particular by a man & on account of her gender) in the world.
The Constitutional Court in Guatemala granted three injunctions preventing its government from entering into a deal only a few weeks ago. It's unclear what authority this Guatemala gov representative has.

Happy to hear H.B. 3239 passed the floor.

The Bill addresses the horrific conditions at the border by improving nutrition, water hygiene standards.

It also ensures facilities aren't overcrowded, & that people receive bedding & have health screenings by trained medical pros.
We believe in a world where no one is imprisoned for seeking a better future. We desperately want that to happen right now and until it does we need to whatever we can for the 10s of thousands of migrants in detention today.
This now moves to the Senate.

Call the Judiciary Committee (202-225-3951) & tell them to push S.2135 forward.

We need this legislation to pass so that CBP is forced to treat humans in their custody w/dignity. Too many people have died & suffered under the cruel hands of CBP.

1/5 THREAD 👉🏾The U.S District Court for the District of Columbia today declined to temporarily block the Trump admin's new asylum rule. washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
2/5 This new rule seeks to bar asylum for individuals who enter or attempt to enter across the southern border, if they did not seek protection from a third country while en route to the United States.
3/5 The @CAIRCoalition, @RAICESTEXAS & @HoganLovells had requested a temporary restraining order to prevent this new rule from going into effect while a lawsuit brought by several organizations is ongoing. raicestexas.org/2019/07/17/540…

Troll Huntress- make US GOOD again

Went to a training on rights when it comes to ICE detentions. One interesting piece of info was that ICE can print a warrant on the fly to remove someone, but even though they may try to use it as a search warrant it is only valid in public places, not homes or cars.
Real one 👇
Here's the ICE warrant 👇
Realise ICE often wears plain clothes with unmarked cars & approaches in public. As a bystander you can not legally physically obstruct them but you can film them (dont release identifying info on the immigrant to social media) The film can be used in court if ICE breaks the law.

When the wingnuts on the internet find you--- well you're obviously doing something right. But they have a lot of questions, lots of conspiracies in mind. However because the internet is interactive, I thought I'd start this thread. It's like Dear Abby for suspicious minds.
# 1 I don't know George Soros. I've heard a lot about him in the news of the last year. Apparently he's funding me. While that would be helpful, its not in the cards for the moment. But please pass on my Twitter to him if he would like to support.

# 2 I'm not a Democrat attorney from San Diego. I consider myself a person without a political party. I believe most politicians promise what they cannot or will not deliver. I choose not to participate, no campaigning for me in the past nor future.

It's May, meaning a lot of my artist friends are graduating! Some of my UK friends are considering freelancing, while searching for jobs or even jumping into it full time and getting themselves out there! Some advice. Do not undersell yourself. You have #rights! (thread!)
As of August 2017, the Artist's Union England determines the following hourly rates for an artist to be fair; £21.04 p/hr for a new graduate artist. That's about $28 dollars for my US friends. This goes up to £27.27 p/hr for 3 yrs+ exp, and £31.47 per hour for 5 years or more. /2
If you are doing sessional/daily rates such as presentations, consultations and installations. You should be looking at £166.24 p/day (£ 83.12 p/ 1⁄2 day) for a new grad artist, £218.19 p/day (£109.10 p/ 1⁄2 day) 3 yrs+ exp, £270.14 p/day (£135.07 p/ 1⁄2 day) 5 yrs+ exp. /3

Went to Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan today. Official population at 53,967, according to @UNHCR as of February 2018. All Syrian #refugees.

In many ways it was not what I expected.
First thing you notice is how remote the location is — some 100 kms east of Amman; 20 kms from Azraq town; 75 kms to Saudi Arabia; 255 kms to Iraq; and 90 kms to the Syrian border — from which its inhabitants fled.
At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.
