Immigrants abused by notorious gynecologist call on Georgia medical board to revoke medical license: dailykos.com/story/2020/12/… #ShutDownIrwin
"In declarations, the women depict a grim system in which violations of bodily autonomy and informed consent, unnecessary medical treatments, and rampant medical neglect are commonplace": splcenter.org/presscenter/wo… #ShutDownIrwin
"Attorneys w/SPLC’s Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative supported the women in filing the complaints after months of interviews w/them. Of the women who filed complaints today, three have been deported, one has been released, and six remain detained at ICDC." #ShutDownIrwin
"This system was designed to dehumanize. And these abuses of reproductive rights, informed consent, and language access are endemic to ICE detention.” #ShutDownIrwin

New reporting revealed officials wanted to separate kids no matter how young. TV news largely ignored it.

While MSNBC devoted some time, “Fox News, ABC News, NBC News, and CBS had zero reporting on the story, while CNN devoted just 9 mins to coverage.” mediamatters.org/immigration/ne…
“Kirstjen Nielsen and Jeff Sessions later claimed that the admin had never intentionally sought to separate families. The NYT piece—based on a forthcoming report from Inspector General Michael Horowitz—reveals that those claims were lies.”
“Since the initial reporting, from the morning of October 6 through the morning of October 8, all English-language cable and broadcast news networks aside from CNN and MSNBC have completely ignored the New York Times report.”

Amnesty International USA: “Given the current conditions in the country, it is extremely likely that anyone who is returned to Cameroon will face a high risk of being detained, beaten, disappeared, tortured, or possibly even killed." #FreeCameroonians
Refugees International urges halt to imminent deportation of Black immigrants:

"Most fled government persecution or civil war at home and will face the very real risk of violence, torture, and even execution upon their return." #FreeCameroonians
“Refugees International is alarmed by reports that the Trump admin will begin deporting large groups of asylum seekers from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo this week. These asylum seekers are currently being held in ICE detention centers." #FreeCameroonians

New reporting reveals Trump administration officials intentionally separated migrant families. Broadcast and cable news largely ignored it: mediamatters.org/immigration/ne…
“Since initial reporting, from the morning of Oct. 6 through the morning of Oct. 8, all English-language cable and broadcast news networks aside from CNN and MSNBC have completely ignored the NYT report. Fox News, ABC News, NBC News, and CBS had zero reporting on the story ...”
“Additionally, neither Trump nor Pence has been asked about the admin’s immig policies during recent debates.

Cable and broadcast coverage of the report is yet another example of the networks’ negligence in reporting on the cruelty of the Trump admin’s treatment of immigrants.”

The Trump admin is again slashing the number of refugees that will be admitted to the U.S. in the new fiscal year to just 15,000, the lowest number yet in the refugee program’s history: dailykos.com/stories/2020/1… #RefugeesWelcome
Amnesty International USA: “The number of refugees that the US welcomes each year is a measure of who we are and where we stand in the world in terms of our commitment to human rights. Under the Trump admin the US is gravely failing." amnestyusa.org/press-releases… #RefugeesWelcome
“The vast majority of ppl in this country support welcoming refugees as their new neighbors. But the actions of Trump demonstrate again and again that they do not listen to the ppl who eagerly want to do more—instead, they want to keep the door shut to anyone seeking safety ..."

It's been 100 days since the Supreme Court ruled on #DACA. Trump is still defying the order. dailykos.com/story/2020/9/2… #HomeIsHere #HereToStay
Following the Supreme Court's #DACA ruling 100 days ago, 18-year-old Ximena Zamora should have been eligible to apply for the first time. But the Trump admin is flat-out refusing to accept new applicants, in defiance of the court.

#HomeIsHere #HereToStay
"Zamora rejoiced in what she thought was a victory and prepared to apply for #DACA. Her joy was short-lived.

DHS’ acting secretary, Chad Wolf, issued a memo on July 28 that excluded first-time applicants like Zamora from applying for DACA." #HomeIsHere #HereToStay
