The #DreamAndPromise Act will provide long overdue protections to DACA, TPS, and DED recipients. Disappointingly, the legislation also contains harmful criminalization bars that will exclude many immigrant youth. We need bold and inclusive legislation that leaves no one behind.

@RepMondaire

Thanks @RepMondaire for highlighting the importance of second chances & the need to eliminate the criminalization bars that will exclude thousands from the #DreamAndPromise Act. c-span.org/video/?c495263…

@RepPressley

Thank you @RepPressley @RepSchakowsky @RepChuyGarcia for highlighting the need for bold & inclusive legislation that leaves no one behind and why the criminalization bars have no place in the #DreamAndPromise Act.

@RepChuyGarcia

👏👏We must work to make sure no one is behind & ALL immigrant youth are included in protections. Shout out to @RepChuyGarcia for his leadership in opposing harmful criminalization bars in #DreamAndPromise Act.

@DetentionWatch

DHS continues to grow its massive immigration detention system using a web of corrupt contracts that breed impunity for abuses. We echo @DetentionWatch's call: Time to #CutTheContracts & shut down the #FirstTen immigrant detention centers.

Watchdog agencies have long documented improper contracting practices & farcical inspections practices in the immigration detention system that is plagued with systemic racism & abuse. #CutTheContracts #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

See our brand new policy brief updating our research on ICE’s immigrant detention contracting and inspection system. #CutTheContracts #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages immigrantjustice.org/policybrief/Cu…

The Trump admin has unleashed a torrent of final regulations and policies targeting asylum seekers - 7 rules in 7 days. Each rule will have devastating consequences. Here’s why: (1/9)

@NIJC

First, DHS finalized a plan to send asylum seekers to El Salvador, mirroring an agreement w/ Guatemala that endangered 1000+ mostly women & children. @NIJC @CGRShastings @ACLU & @humanrights1st challenged this violation of US asylum obligations. tinyurl.com/ybxstqk6 (2/9)

@NIJC

Next, DOJ imposed a fee on asylum applications for the *first time ever* to deter asylum seekers from seeking protection. They also increased fees up to 800% for appeals. @NIJC @CGRS @supportKIND @quinnemanuel filed a suit today. tinyurl.com/yah5jaxr (3/9)

@ACLU_SoCal

UPDATE: Today a CA federal court issued final order in our lawsuit w/ @ACLU_SoCal ruling immigration detainers issued by ICE out of its Pacific Enforcement Response Center violate the Constitution & are null & void (even if PERC moves to another state). immigrantjustice.org/court_cases/go… 1/

Immigration detainers are requests ICE sends to local and state law enforcement asking them to keep immigrants detained after their authority expires so that ICE can come and take them into custody. 2/

The court finds that detainers issued out of PERC, which ICE uses after business hours and on weekends to send detainer requests to 42 states, violate the 4th Amendment because they assess a person’s removability based solely on a database check. 3/
