@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy A lot to say on this. The "Migrant Protection Plan" forces asylum seekers to wait in some of the most dangerous parts of Mexico, places w/travel restrictions due to violence & safety concerns for duration of their case. Currently 51K asylees are waiting cbsn.ws/2LZS9BK
@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy This headline shares one of the dangers, after return to Mexico asylees are at risk for kidnapping and ransom by cartels newsweek.com/asylum-seeker-…
@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy I'd rec. following @lawyers4goodgov - who's founder Traci Feit Love has been working to build a program with volunteer lawyers to provide representation, & immigration attorney @JodiGoodwin17 who has a lot of expertise and experience - her Facebook posts are highly informative
@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy @lawyers4goodgov @JodiGoodwin17 This article gives a good overview of the scope of what is happening under this policy nytimes.com/interactive/20… Essentially people are left on the streets without money, resources, anywhere to stay, in dangerous places. Tent cities with small children sleeping on cardboard.
@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy @lawyers4goodgov @JodiGoodwin17 This policy creates an issue of "out of site out of mind" and we need to make sure our legislators know that this is not ok. These are extreme abuses & a mockery of due process and it is putting so many people at risk.
@ekww11 @childrightsprof @juuust_amanda @21timo @VashBandy @lawyers4goodgov @JodiGoodwin17 One more newsy.com/stories/pregna… From Traci Feit Love- One pregnant woman was returned to Matamoros after going into labor in detention in the US. She was taken to a hospital, had her contractions medically stopped & was dumped in Matamoros to sleep on the street w/no resources.
