1/As our violently flawed and racist policing system continues to plague Black & brown communities from coast to coast, it’s clear that so many of the laws currently in place do nothing to protect us. And in a few weeks, @DHSgov will release new “enforcement” policies. #EyesonICE 2/These policies will determine every arrest, detention, & deportation that ICE and CBP execute over the next few years, and will have life-or-death impacts on immigrant communities across the country.

These harms must END. #EyesonICE

A4: Roland Sylvain, NY'er and father of 4, has been fighting his deportation for almost a decade. ICE is trying to deport him for the “aggravated felonies” of forgery—for writing someone else’s name on traffic tickets bc his license was suspended at the time—from 20 years ago. 1/ A4: Roland's last fighting chance to stay here with his family is a gubernatorial pardon from @GovernorVA. #RepealAEDPA 2/

A3: Whenever "domestic terror laws" are passed, the most vulnerable communities are always disproportionately punished, even if that punishment was intended for another group. #RepealAEDPA 1/ A3: Whatever the stated intent or target, the law feeds into a system that is programmed to have racially and economically unequal outcomes, so that’s what we get. #RepealAEDPA 2/

1/Advocates are demanding that ICE does not rely on a racist criminal legal system to fuel deportation, & that it eliminate gang affiliation from its final "enforcement priorities." Gang labeling is often based on arbitrary factors & is proven to lead to discriminatory policing. 2/Gang allegations are nearly impossible to challenge in both pre-trial detention AND immigration court. ICE has targeted and incarcerated immigrant youth labeled as "gang-involved” based on flimsy evidence.

1/THREAD: Recreational Marijuana legalization just passed the NYS Legislature! What does this mean for immigrant NYers? #PassTheMRTA #MarijuanaJustice 2/Marijuana-related activity has been a major factor dragging immigrants into the arrest-to-deportation pipeline. After years of organizing by immigrant advocates, criminal legal system advocates, & others, New York passed the MRTA! bit.ly/3fu23ux #MarijuanaJustice

❗BREAKING ❗: A federal judge has put an emergency stop to Trump’s latest attack on asylum seekers. IDP is proud to partner with @NIPNLG, @HLS_Immigration, and @sidleylaw to represent @PangeaLegal, @cliniclegal, @CAIRCoalition and @sfdeportdefense on this lawsuit! Today’s decision puts a halt to Trump’s latest attempt to criminalize immigrants. Trump’s rule—which was set to go into effect tomorrow—would have imposed sweeping new bars to asylum based on broad categories of criminal offenses.

‼️ ALERT ‼️ ICE is showing up at NYC protests: On Wednesday, this man was walking with protestors when 5 agents jumped out of a van with guns drawn & threw him to the ground, 1 wearing a POLICE/HSI (division of ICE) vest. This man is a US citizen of Puerto Rican descent. Agents held him on the ground with 3 guns pointed at him, cuffed him, illegally searched him, tried to search his phone, accused him of having a gun. All they found was his military/veteran id. They held him for 10 minutes looking for something to justify their attack on him.

ICE is acting like they are being humane during the pandemic, but this is just business as usual. 🗑 THREAD 1/ They say they're focusing on "public safety risks." But ICE's mission has *always* been "to promote public safety..." The question is, what does public safety mean to ICE? 2/
