Right now, in the midst of #COVID19, ICE continues to detain immigrants in the US. Instead, we need to be strengthening our communities and showing care and compassion. Families should be #SafeAndTogether
Here is a look at the human consequences of misguided #immigration enforcement across the United States under this administration and during #COVID19.

Alan is a 24 year old community leader and artist in Arkansas. He has lived in the US for the past 20 years. Last September, he was arrested for charges related to public art. Unfortunately, his #DACA had expired (but he was waiting for his renewal). arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…
With the help of donations, Alan's family was able to pay the $20,000 bond and get Alan released and back home with his loved ones.
Please consider donating to a fundraiser organized by Alan's family to help pay for legal expenses to continue fighting his #immigration case: facebook.com/donate/2488534…

Tesfa is a father to a young girl but is currently detained in a detention center in Alabama. Last month, he took part in a "last desperation move" by protesting the terrible conditions at the facility. theintercept.com/2020/04/12/cor…
The design and operation of detention centers creates a dangerous accelerator for the spread of #COVID19.

Tesfa is just trying to get home to his daughter, alive. He should be #SafeAndTogether with his family.

Dreamers, #TPS holders, and farmworkers have never stopped fighting for their futures — and that’s why TODAY, the House will vote on #HR6 and the #FarmWorkforceModernizationAct. Across the country, there is strong bipartisan support for a path to citizenship. #WeAreHome
New national polling from @CenterForwardUS released TODAY finds voters are eager for congressional action and there is broad bipartisan support for protection from deportation and a path to citizenship for Dreamers, #TPS holders and undocumented farmworkers w/ over 80% support.
.@coalition_dream, a group of +100 of the nation’s top businesses & trade assns, endorsed #HR6 and said continued inaction "will cause significant negative economic and social impact on businesses and hundreds of thousands of deserving young people across the country.” #WeAreHome

.@FWDus New York State Director of Criminal Justice Reform @rodnationn issued the following statement today after Governor Cuomo delivered his 2021 State of the State address: fwd.us/news/fwd-us-ur…
"Since December 1, more #COVID19 cases have swept through New York prisons than in the whole first nine months of the pandemic combined – and tragically, 10 more incarcerated people have died." — @rodnationn
"Public health experts and advocates have long predicted that the state’s failure to reduce our incarcerated population would cost lives and hurt families. Nearly ten months into the #COVID19 crisis, far too little has been done to keep incarcerated people safe." — @rodnationn

"The Biden Administration and Congress must work together to guarantee that undocumented essential workers and their families are included in our nation's economic recovery. These people deliver for us — now, we should deliver for them." — @JoaquinCastrotx #WeAreHome

Despite facing their own uncertain futures, more than 5 million undocumented essential workers are combatting the pandemic & protecting all of our lives.

A path to citizenship is critical to America’s recovery and must be included in #COVID19 recovery efforts. #WeAreHome
Meet Esmeralda, an essential worker raising a three-year-old daughter. "The pathway to citizenship for me & others like me is the same pathway that will lead us all through America's recovery."

We must restore opportunity and dignity for all people living in the U.S. #WeAreHome
Jesus, a #DACA recipient & Houston paramedic, spent 6 days rescuing people from Hurricane Harvey and now, he is on the frontlines of the #COVID19 pandemic.

FWD.us is releasing a new report, "Dismantling #DACA & Terminating #TPS: A Moral and Economic Disaster That Hurts All Americans" which highlights the devastating human economic & political consequences of Pres Trump's anti-immigrant agenda bit.ly/3j93DB7 Image
The new report is the first in a four-part series, which will detail voters’ overwhelming rejection of these policies.

Broad public support for DACA recipients and TPS holders has been galvanized by the courageous advocacy of the people most severely impacted by these policies.
Numerous national polls have made clear that Americans of all backgrounds - including President Trump’s own supporters - are strongly supportive of immigrants and immigration, and even more so now than when he took office.
