1/ #CHC has continuously requested that @USCIS work to clear its backlog and modernize its systems by streamlining processes and removing unnecessary procedures.
2/ We are glad to see the Administration’s recent move to increase the automatic extension period for those who already qualified for automatic extension of their work permits;
3/ however, we remain concerned that this new rule leaves out a number of applicants who urgently need work permit renewals to help support their families.

Of 2,000 asylum seekers in this camp, only 40-50 get full meals each day.

They share 2 wooden shower stalls, 10 toilets, and have no cleaning supplies.

They’re living outside, exposed to the elements, without running water and limited food.

Iris and her baby have been living at this camp since July.

She was turned away from the US by CBP, assured that she and her child would be able to live in a shelter.

Instead, she’s begging on the street, waiting for her asylum interview in December.
A Mexican immigration official stated, “The US is the one who is lying to them. I tell them the shelter doesn’t exist. The US should be the one giving them aid — that’s who they are asking for asylum.”

NEW -- @USCCRgov has released a groundbreaking report revealing the depths of cruelty of the Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant agenda, including the detention, #FamilySeparation, #ZeroTolerance, & #RemainInMexico.

#DontLookAway – read the full report: usccr.gov/pubs/2019/10-2…
@USCCRgov The USCCR report found that the Trump Admin:
❌ Created a humanitarian crisis
❌ Separated families & traumatized children
❌ Discriminated against Latino migrants
❌ Inflicted inhumane, prison-like conditions
❌ Denied justice & legal rights

#DontLookAway #JusticeForOurChildren
@USCCRgov The Commission shares the accounts of migrants who suffered under the Trump Admin’s policies.

Upon arriving in the US, migrants were humiliated, shouted at, and held in horrific conditions.

They waited in ICE custody – cold, hungry, and without medical care or translators.

Here are the facts directly from @OIGatHHS – Trump’s #FamilySeparation agenda traumatized children and caused lasting harm to their mental health.

#DontLookAway from what this administration is doing to innocent children.

@OIGatHHS .@HHSgov faced unique challenges in addressing the mental health needs of separated children, who suffered fear, abandonment, post-traumatic stress, & anxiety. Some cried uncontrollably from “acute grief.”

Of course they did – the Trump Admin tore these kids from their parents.
@OIGatHHS @HHSGov Stunningly, this report reveals that ORR staff did not know how to seek approval or consent to treat traumatized children with psychotropic medication. The lack of clarity on this process is unacceptable and disturbing.

Since the beginning of the Trump Admin, @DHSgov has abused their power and stolen millions from critical national security projects & accounts to fund Trump’s deportation agenda in @ICEgov. Here are just a few of the accounts they’ve robbed from ⬇️
@DHSgov @ICEgov Last year, ICE stole $9.8 million from FEMA. That same year, Puerto Rico slowly recovered from Hurricane Maria and wildfires devastated communities across California.
@DHSgov @ICEgov ICE also took $29 million from the US Coast Guard and over $34 million from TSA. These agencies are on the front lines of keeping Americans safe and interdicting drug trafficking.

.@realDonaldTrump,

Thanks, but no thanks.

I decline your invitation to attend your Hispanic Heritage Month White House reception.

Your rhetoric, actions & policies betray the values upon which #HHM was founded.

Let me explain...

-@RepLujanGrisham
Your administration has undermined every bipartisan, bicameral effort we have pursued to help our nation’s Dreamers by making hyper-partisan and radical demands. /2
Every Hispanic Heritage Month proclamation specifically included September 15 in order to celebrate the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. /3
