Jacinta kicks-off national 'Deportations Under Biden' #EyesOnICE forum,“Since 3/1 @conmijente w/ #WeareHome campaign & partner orgs have been organizing #EyesonICE forums across the country to lift up the stories & demands of the ppl who’ve confronted detention and deportation.

Jacinta w/ @conmijente shares the plans for the final #EyesonICE forum, “On May 3rd we'll have our closing forum, where we have invited @AliMayorkas to attend. We hope he’ll join us.”

Jacinta w/ @conmijente continues, "127,457 ppl have been deported or expelled under the Biden admin so far. @POTUS has the executive power to stop them and reign in ICE and CBP to end the harm they inflict on our communities." #EyesonICE

FIRST ACTION: Sign the petition to make sure that he & @POTUS make the changes to the immigration system that our communities deserve.#EyesONICE

@SecMayorkas can undo the harms of the Trump system. Thats why he should hear from the ppl directly impacted.

.@GuerlineMJozef w/ @HaitianBridge: "The Biden-Harris administration continues to use 'Title 42' a harmful program implemented by Trump administration. It particularly impacts #Blackimmigrants. This must end."

What is 'Title 42'? Learn more from @HaitianBridge report. #EyesonICE #DeportationsunderBiden quixote.org/wp-content/upl…

.@GuerlineMJozef from @HaitianBridge, "The Biden administration must revoke 'Title 42' it is a harmful program that is anti-Black. Black immigrants are being deported at very high rates. Children are being denied refuge." #EyesonICE

Haddy Gassama w/ @UndocuBlack at national 'Deportations Under Biden' #EyesonICE forum: "Immigration is a Black issue. Black people are criminalized by the immigrant and criminal justice system."

Ziad, a Black migrant, an asylum seeker expelled to Mexico: "My message to President Biden is, the ppl who are being deported and expelled are human beings. They are Black women, single mothers, and new born children. They've crossed so many borders." #EyesonICE

More from Ziad a Black immigrant organizing at the Mexico border after being expelled, "I want to speak for my Haitian brothers and sisters. Deporting Haitian people given the current conditions of their home country is cruel. They need TPS. Give us asylum." #EyesOnICE

Sandra Solis, organizer w/ @Puenteaz: "Title 42 is being misused in AZ and across the country. It is being abused by local law enforcement and harming people who are already vulnerable." #EyesOnICE

Dr. Michele Heisler w/ @P4HR, "There has never been a public health rationale for the 'Title 42' ban. Only ppl who are seeking asylum are being prevented from entering the US or are being expelled. It is a xenophobic program." #EyesonICE

Paul, an immigrant from Haiti who was deported under the Biden administration, "I was told I was being deported to Haiti, a country I had never been to and that I was not a citizen of. I was sent to a detention center. In 10 days, I was driven across the country."
#EyesonICE

Paul continues, "I was denied information until they told me it was my time to go home. I was then forced into a white van, shackled. I was then put on a plane and then I sent to Haiti. I don't know if I will ever see my friends or loved ones again." #EyesonICE

Paul's message to Biden's Administration and @AliMayorkas, "You made a promise to stop deportation and close detention centers.These detention centers are caging of innocent ppl. You can use your executive power to uphold your promise."

Jacinta w/ @ConMijente,"It is important to include the voices of people who've been deported and who are currently in detention centers. Hear from Robert Panton who's been unfairly detained." @NIJC #EyesonICE

Robert Paton's testimony from a detention center. He continues to be detained although he has done his time. @NIJC #EyesonICE

. @LeeVanderlinden w/ @NIJC #EyesonICE, "I had a client, who had survived trafficking, be detained for no reason. When I took it to the local ICE & demanded she be let go given her vulnerable status I was denied. She was later released but the immigration system is flawed."

Angel Santos sharing his experience at #EyesonICE after being deported to Mexico, a country he left at 13, even though he hadDACA. This happened b/c of a minor offense on his record. The criminalization of our communities must stop. #EyesonICE

Angel Santos went on to explain the abuse he and other immigrants experienced at the detention centers: "There were no COVID-19 precautions. People were being deported even when their cases were open."

Angel Santos' demand of @POTUS and @AliMayorkas, "I am a father of 3 boys. I do not want them to grow up without a father, the way I was. Keep your promises. I was wrongfully deported. End deportations and close detention centers."

That’s a wrap! Join us at our upcoming #EyesonICE forum w/ @AdelanteAlabama this Saturday, 4/3. Hear from immigrant workers who’ve been impacted by abusive enforcement and deportation at the hands of ICE and are fighting back ✊🏽.Register: bit.ly/ALforum #InvestigateDHS
