BREAKING: Our attorney was aggressively rejected from trying to offer help to immigrant children illegally detained at a Hampton Inn in McAllen, TX. He and another of our staffer were violently shoved into the hotel elevator and were told they could not offer help. #FreeThemALL!
Second video. Reminder: These individuals shoving our staff are hired by @DHSgov to care for CHILDREN. #FreeThemAll
Now we are standing outside the hotel with signs showing our legal hotline hoping the people inside- children and asylum seekers- can reach out to us for help. Some are holding small signs trying to communicate with us. #FreeThemAll

BREAKING: We're suing.

Along with @KIND, @ACLU, and dozens unaccompanied children detained in hotels facing imminent expulsion from the country, we're suing the Trump admin to stop their expulsion, give them legal representation, & allow them to seek asylum. #FreeThemAll
This week, we’ve uncovered potentially hundreds of asylum-seekers and children detained in a hotel in McAllen, Texas. The government is disappearing asylum seekers— even children— without a trace.

Without due process, there’s no paper trail. When we tried to provide legal assistance at a hotel in McAllen where they are illegally detaining people, our staff was violently shoved and removed.

Yesterday, we uncovered that DHS is detaining children in a hotel in McAllen, TX before illegally & immorally expelling them from the US without any due process.

The problem isn't just that kids are detained in hotels; They're also expelled & denied the right to asylum. Thread👇
DHS is using the hotels as secret sites to detain children to circumvent the law. These hotels are black sites to hold children on the way to expulsion without anyone finding out and no due process. apnews.com/c9b671b206060f…
We KNOW that thousands of people have been expelled without their day in court, including children in these hotels. Without due process, there’s no paper trail, so it’s very hard to hold the gov't accountable and get the kids home. Especially since we’re sheltering in place.

BREAKING: Chief District Judge Orlando Garcia today ordered Texas to register three citizens to vote by Monday, based on the information collected from their online driver’s license change-of-address. Effectively, they will get retroactively registered to vote online.
This is not the first time the state has been sued for violating the National Voter Registration Act, commonly known as the “motor voter” law.
The judge will issue a decision on a longer term solution at a later date.

If broadly implemented beyond the three voters in the lawsuit, Texas would be the 40th state to offer some form of online voter registration since Arizona first rolled out its paperless system in 2002.
