.@USTradeRep45 put sanctions on Mauritania over human rights abuses. Yet, 45 deported so many Black Mauritanians to a country that tried to kill them, leaving them there with no documents + subject to arrest, torture, abuse. Many fled again to other countries for safety.
Others preemptively fled to Canada when they saw what was happening in US. Spouses + children left behind. Everyone says "families belong together" + they do. Including these families. #ReuniteUS
Awa Harouna of Cincinnati bravely told her family's story on Netflix' Living Undocumented w @fireroad602. Her dad, Amadou Sow, was nearly deported in 2018.

He + others lost initial asylum cases bc US asylum process has been broken, lacking any semblance of due process, forever. Losing in court doesn't mean someone is NOT a refugee. @NILC @nakasec @NCJW @NeverAgainActn @NNIRRnetwork @thenyic @CamAmerCouncil @FWDus @RAICESTEXAS
This letter is important bc it is official recognition of human rights crisis in Mauritania that forced ppl to flee + continues today. Abbas Diallo was murdered by security forces over a curfew violation.
