This week, together with over 290 organizations from around the world, we sent a letter to President Biden demanding immediate action in response to the Israeli government’s latest authoritarian assault on Palestinian civil society #StandWithThe6 bit.ly/Palestine-Bide… text reads dear mr president this week, together with over 2
On Aug 18, Israeli military forces raided the offices of 7 Palestinian organizations in the occupied West Bank, sealing the doors shut and seizing technology and confidential material
This has been enabled by the administration’s refusal to act, and reject the the Israeli government’s designation of these human rights organizations as “terrorists”, claims which the international community investigated and found to be baseless
The lack of response from the Biden administration enabled and empowered the Israeli government to sustain and escalate its repressive behavior.
A threat against the Palestinian human rights mvmt is a threat to all movmts for social justice. Share the letter & join us in demanding that @POTUS take concrete steps to protect our colleagues & to eliminate the conditions that make their vital work so necessary. text reads dear mr president this week, together with over 2

Israel’s designation of leading Palestinian human rights organizations as terrorist is a continuation of a long-standing project by the Israeli government and its supporters to isolate Palestinian civil society advocates and criminalize the promotion of Palestinian rights.
These organizations are pillars of Palestinian civil society, and we are proud to have joined many of them in their crucial work to expose and seek accountability for Israeli human rights abuses.
Our partners have been raided and harassed, have had their staff arrested, and have otherwise been targeted for years by Israeli authorities and their proxies.

Tomorrow, for the second time in under a month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are planning to deport a group of Cameroonian asylum seekers back into an active war zone where they face imminent persecution and death. Image
Even as the Trump administration has consistently demonstrated its racist antipathy to African and other Black migrants, in recent months we have witnessed a dramatic escalation of its anti-immigrant policies.
Hundreds of Cameroonians and other African asylum seekers have been deported to countries with ongoing internal conflicts.

BREAKING: In a settlement to a major federal lawsuit, ICE has agreed not to deport the immigrant activists who sued the agency after suffering retaliatory arrests, and to instruct officers not to target people “for exercising First Amendment rights.”
Immigrant farmworkers with Vermont-based human rights organization @MigrantJustice led a march today to Burlington’s federal courthouse to claim victory and file the settlement in Migrant Justice v. Wolf.
“The actions of ICE against Migrant Justice and its members cannot be divorced from the federal government's, including ICE and other enforcement agencies’, disgraceful history of unlawfully targeting, surveilling, and disrupting grassroots movements.”

BREAKING: Along with @civilrightsorg & 79 other civil rights groups, we urged President Trump and Acting Secretary Wolf to immediately provide the maximum protection possible through a Deferred Enforced Departure or Temporary Protected Status designation for Cameroonians.
The move is necessary to ensure that the United States does not return anyone to a country, like Cameroon, that has become temporarily unsafe for its residents.
We call on Trump and Wolf to honor the foundational American values of offering safety and security to those in need by granting the designation right away.

Offering help, safety, and security to those in need is foundational to U.S. values.

Last night, we asked a federal court to vacate the conviction and life-without-parole sentence of Ahmed Abu Ali in light of new evidence stemming from the Saudi government’s cover-up of the torture and murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
In 2003, when he was a 22-year-old university student, Mr. Abu Ali was detained by officers of the “Mabahith,” a secret domestic police agency in Saudi Arabia—the same agency involved in the murder and cover-up of Khashoggi.
During interrogations by the agency, Abu Ali “confessed” under torture to involvement in a Saudi Al Qaeda cell, which later served as the basis for his U.S. prosecution.
