Javier was formerly protected by #DACA but didn’t renew out of fear of sharing his info. @ICEgov is now trying to deport him.

Javier must be released—and we must permanently protect all 11 million undocumented immigrants now.

“Javier Castillo Maradiaga’s deportation to Honduras planned for early Monday morning was stopped by President Joe Biden’s 100-day moratorium on most removals, but that decision was overturned by a Texas judge and ICE took action.”
“Maradiaga was on track to be deported Friday morning instead, but it has been temporarily delayed. In the meantime, he remains in ICE custody.

Maradiaga has been living in the United States since he was just 7 years old.”
.@RepRitchie Torres: “@ICEgov’s repeat game of threatening deportation and then delaying it abruptly has the effect of terrorizing Javier and his family. End the terror. Send Javier home to his family in the Bronx. Enough is enough."
Sign @MaketheRoadNY’s petition to demand @ICEgov #HaltAllDeportations and release Javier to his family and Bronx community: p2a.co/hxq7pkq

NEW: Sen. @ChrisVanHollen calls on @ICEgov to immediately halt the deportation of Cameroonian and other African asylum-seekers. Image
“For months under the previous admin we heard reports of abuse, physical coercion, and discriminatory treatment of Cameroonian and other African asylum seekers at the hands of ICE, and we still await the details of a DHS investigation."
"Worse yet, ICE is accelerating pending flights for many of these asylum seekers ... who escaped torture and death in their home countries, only to be sent back into imminent danger without fair or complete consideration of their asylum requests."

From letter led by @HispanicCaucus: "An estimated 5m undocumented immigrants ... are serving our country every day as essential workers ... Undoc essential workers have stepped up to serve our country in a time of crisis and should be able to apply for US citizenship."

Trump to end presidency the same way he kicked off run, by attacking immigrants: dailykos.com/stories/2021/0…
Border Network for Human Rights executive director Fernando García: "Rather than spend his last days in the Oval Office addressing the pressing #COVID19 pandemic and ensuring an orderly transition, Trump is doubling down on his xenophobic, white supremacist agenda."
"The wall that he consistently glorifies as his legacy is nothing but a shameful reminder of the suffering, violence and division that he has fostered. Trump does not and has never represented our communities. His presence at the borderland is a provocation ..."

Trump and seditionist @tedcruz wasted no time trying to pin the 2017 death of a border agent on immigrants (the FBI later found no foul play): npr.org/sections/thetw…

But not a peep from Trump today after an officer was killed due to the violent mob he incited.
NPR in 2018: "Shortly after the incident, President Trump tweeted, 'Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!'"
Seditionist "@tedcruz, R-Texas, tweeted that the incident was 'a stark reminder of the ongoing threat that an unsecure border poses.' Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the agents' union, concluded the agents were brutally beaten with rocks."

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
