NEW from @immcouncil!

I'm proud to rollout @immcouncil's brand new fact sheet, "A Guide to Policies Affecting Asylum Seekers at the Border."

Questions about metering, the Asylum Transit Ban, or Remain in Mexico/MPP? Wonder what they are? Look no further! americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/guide…
@immcouncil Two figures in particular will, I think provide a lot of clarity to questions about the Asylum Transit Ban and its interaction with MPP.

Here's a chart laying out the consequences of being subject to one policy, both policies, or some combination of both.
@immcouncil This chart should also help explain a lot about how MPP and the Asylum Transit Ban interact.

MPP vs. the Asylum Ban—Who Is Subject and Who Is Exempt
@immcouncil The first link I provided in the thread was to the main page where the fact sheet is hosted, which doesn't include sourcing. The PDF version shows all the voluminous sourcing that went into this, including the work of dozens of people on this site.

Link: americanimmigrationcouncil.org/sites/default/…
@immcouncil Our fact sheet doesn't get into some of the policies which have rolled out this week like Safe Third Country, or the PACR or HARP pilot programs in El Paso, but rest assured we're working on things to cover those as well.

This is pure Orwell.

Internal DHS reports indicate that no one at DHS knows what will actually happen to refugees forcibly deported to Guatemala and required to seek asylum there.

Training materials released yesterday show DHS is uninterested in safety.

Don’t believe him.
As Acting DHS Secretary Wolf says that “keeping migrants safe is a top goal of DHS,” here are the leaked training materials I broke down yesterday, showing how his agency had set an impossible bar to avoid deportation to Guatemala, including forbidding access to lawyers.
And here is the report that despite no one at DHS knowing what’s going to happen to people sent to Guatemala, DHS is moving forward anyway, regardless of consequences.

It is patently clear that “keeping migrants safe” is not a priority for DHS.

This is an invaluable leak. These training materials give us an inside view of the ways that the US will implement its “Safe third country” deal with Guatemala—who DHS will apply it to and how.

They also reveal a sham process, designed to generate denials at any cost.

Thread:
Here is the most important slide: a list of who will be sent to Guatemala (at least for now).

Worth noting that none of these “amenable populations” and “exceptions” are actually listed in the US/Guatemala deal—though there are likely secret agreements between the countries.
Just as those lists of “amenable populations” and “exceptions” seem to have been manufactured at DHS’s discretion, the training materials also reveal that the decision to start the process to send someone to Guatemala is entirely in the hands of CBP officers at the border.

Reuters got the receipts showing just how much of a sham the process for sending people to Guatemala will be; just like MPP:

“Asylum officers were instructed not to ask migrants whether they have a fear of being sent to Guatemala.”

Think of the cruelty it takes to order that.
Read the new training materials that Asylum Officers will get for the new screening process to send asylum seekers to Guatemala.
In many, many, ways, the Trump administration’s war on asylum is part and parcel of their war on LGBTQ+ rights.

#NEW We have matched up county-level preferences for music genres with 2016 election results and have found the👏 key👏 data 👏 that capture the cultural currents that made Obama supporters flip to Donald Trump:

liking hard rock music.

THREAD.

The data we have (from @VividSeats) is truly incredible. In every county, we have a record of the share of concert/etc ticket sales that fall into each genre in 2015/19. Here's that map (with each county scaled for population). Cities like rap/hip hop. Rural areas like country.
The music genre that most correlates with Republican vote share is, as you might expect, country music. A preference for "New Age" music (whatever that is) and Rock are also "red". Rap, Hip Hop & R&B, as mentioned, are "blue" music—as is liking alternative artists or Latin music.

Byrne is now saying that in 2015 and 2016 the FBI operation was part of a network of political surveillance being conducted by the FBI on different presidential candidates.
3) Byrne names FBI Agent Peter Strzok as the person giving the instructions.

Byrne names: Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump as the four candidates under FBI surveillance, and/or inside an operation consisting of political espionage.

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).
