THREAD: A judge in federal court ruled on the side of protecting 1st Amendment rights & reinstated our critical Hotline that has helped thousands in immigrant detention report on the conditions of their confinement.

@ICEgov will never censor us #FreedomForImmigrants
@ICEgov This case should serve as a reminder that the Trump admin is not a law unto itself, but rather accountable to the people & our Constitution.

Read our press release:
freedomforimmigrants.org/news/2020/2/12…
In 2019, we partnered with @OITNB to provide an accurate portrayal of life in immigrant jails & prisons.

The final season prominently featured our free & confidential hotline. 2 weeks after the season premiere, ICE completely shut down the hotline.
Prior to the shutdown, we received over 10K calls per month from immigrant prisons & jails nationwide. We received calls from 148 countries that spoke 80 different languages.
Investigations like our Report on Hate, which put the brutality of immigration detention and ICE on display, were only possible because people in detention were able to confidentially report abuse #AbolishDetention freedomforimmigrants.org/report-on-hate
As ICE has indicated it intends to destroy complaints from detained people, we will continue to use the Hotline to record abuses & elevate stories this system is trying to silence.

We look forward to answering calls from people in detention once again.
