Official statement coming soon but rn we’re struggling to find words. There are 10K+ asylum seekers stuck in Tijuana. We r the only OTG org here providing legal aid. This is a death sentence for most our clients. Our hearts are broken + we’re exhausted. washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
Our Supreme Court is sentencing people to death. There are no safeguards, no institutions to stop this cruelty. We see others’ pain everyday. It seeps into the fibers of our beings. Over + over we are challenged to even help folks to pursue human fucking decency and dignity.
This is exactly what the Trump administration wants. They want to break the people helping. All 3 of our directors were already put on a gov watchlist, had alerts placed on their passports so they couldn’t come back into MX + do their jobs. WE NEED EVERYONE IN THIS FIGHT.

BAMN is agitating the caravan to march on the border. They are not on the ground and not working with the caravan organizers. At the same time, law enforcement is emptying the San Diego jails and telling the courts to anticipate 200-300 prosecutions/day. We smell a setup
When we tried calling their office, they answered and then hung up when we explained who we were. They haven’t picked up any subsequent calls
We repeat- BAMN is not on the ground in Tijuana and is not working with any nonprofits, organizers, or the caravan members themselves. Yet the US government is preparing for an invasion and mass prosecutions. What is going on here?

Today, we met a man who ICE separated from his 5 yr old daughter. We offered to represent him for free but he couldn’t stand being detained and signed his own deportation. Instead of helping him fight for bond, he asked us to help make sure his 5 yr old would be deported with him
He said he never had been in prison, and didn’t expect to end up in such a terrible place when he asked for help at the border. He hasn’t spoken to his daughter since they were separated a month ago. He said he felt too depressed in detention to keep fighting his case
He is afraid to go back to his country, but said he would rather search for another safe place than suffer another day in detention. Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to see his daughter soon, or that we’ll be able to make sure they’re deported together

Want to know #WhereAreTheChildren ? Here’s what happens when a family seeks asylum at the US border (Thread)
First, it’s important to know that it’s LEGAL to seek asylum at a Port of Entry. CBP is obligated to accept refugee families, but we’ve recorded hundreds of instances of unlawful turn-aways. Families lucky enough to be processed face a horrific system designed to tear them apart
If minor children are traveling with both parents, Dad is almost always detained separately. That means his asylum case proceeds apart from that of his family. We’ve seen many cases of dads deported while his wife and kids remain in the US #EndFamilySeparation

Here is the link to Judge Tigar's decision
courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
I'm next on the docket ... so will tweet the highlights of the decision after I am done. But stay tuned this one is something else!
Heeyey! I go in for a quick hearing and in the meantime #ImmigrationMonday, I see, has hit us again. Much to chew on but as I promised here is the 4 on Judge Tigar's reinstated nationwide injunction in EastBay Sanctuary II litigation.

This just feeds Trump's border rhetoric-but the MX & US gov't ignoring these desperate people is the reason that it escalated. So cruel #Tijuana #BorderCrisis

ASYLUM IS A HUMAN RIGHT🗽
@matt_cam
UPDATE: The Presidential proclamation barring certain non-citizens from seeking #asylum after crossing the Southern border is out. How will they limit it to the #MigrantCaravan? How much more illegal can this thing get?

I haven't even read this, so let's get through ittogether
(This thread is going to be a sequel to yesterday's on the "final interim rule" rushed into effect in anticipation of this proclamation, so you might want to read that one first.)

These #s appear to be the entire justification for the proclamation, and they badly need context. They may sound scary if you're new to the issue, but check out the overall historical picture & tell me this is a natl. emergency worthy of suspending a 4,000 year-old legal right

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).

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.)
