We can't accept another day of Trump's immigration policies.

The images from the border, the terror that immigrants still feel in our communities - it has to stop.

That's why we're at DHS headquarters, shutting down every gate, telling Biden's admin to #KeepYourPromises

Biden promised to dismantle Trump's cruel immigration system, and replace it with one that's "fair and humane."

Instead, his admin is doubling down on one of Trump’s main tactics: using fear and suffering to try to keep immigrants out.

It’s exactly what we all voted against.

We’re at DHS to ask Secretary Mayorkas a simple question: are you going to #KeepYourPromises and cancel Trump’s border policy & Trump’s ICE contracts? Or will you embrace the racist anti-immigrant agenda you were elected to fix?

Can you ask him too? bit.ly/Keep-Your-Prom…

How much of America’s “immigration system” do you think actually goes towards helping people immigrate here?

Half of it? Nope.

A tenth? Nah.

A hundredth? Not even.

It's about 0.9%.

1/7

The 2021 budget gives $12.8 BILLION to ICE & Border Patrol.

Only $127 million goes to USCIS, the agency processing citizenship, asylum & refugee claims.

When less than 1% of the money goes to immigration, we don't have an "immigration system."

We have a deportation system.

Yes, Biden's undone a few of Trump’s most visible anti-immigrant policies.

But history shows, changing the party in the White House isn’t enough to fix the system.

D's (Clinton + Obama) have actually admitted fewer immigrants while deporting more people than R's (Bush + Trump).

*record scratch* *freeze frame* yup that’s me. you’re probably wondering how i ended up in this situation.

Honestly though, there's not much to wonder about? We freaked white people out about immigrants and used voter suppression to keep everyone else from voting, it's not rocket science.

I'm honestly surprised it worked though. My colleagues kept saying the quiet parts loud: "Everybody shouldn't be voting", "immigration is how we're going to win", that kind of thing.

ICE is racing to deport Black people to Haiti as fast as they possibly can. And they're not letting ANYTHING get in their way.

A thread:

You might think that if you aren't *from* Haiti, aren't a Haitian citizen, and HAVE NEVER BEEN TO HAITI IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, that would probably stop ICE from deporting you to Haiti.

Paul Pierrilus thought that too. But last month, ICE proved him wrong.

What about being super, super young? Could that stop you from ending up on an ICE Air flight to Haiti?

Nope, sorry, ICE literally deported a two-month-old baby to Haiti in February.

Meet Valerie Ortiz.

On January 8th, her dad William left their LA apartment for what he thought was a normal day: working one of his 3 jobs, returning home to be with his wife & daughter, and caring for his disabled mother.

But he never made it home.

ICE was waiting for him.

William came to Los Angeles in 1977 as a fifteen year old boy.

He was fleeing El Salvador, which was descending into civil war. He was reuniting with his mother, a U.S. citizen.

He's lived in LA for 44 years; it's his home, it's his family, it's his life.

ICE wanted him gone.

With her dad in ICE detention, Valerie was completely distraught. She couldn't imagine life without him, for herself or her family. It would be the end of the world as she knew it.
