The #DreamAndPromise Act will provide long overdue protections to DACA, TPS, and DED recipients. Disappointingly, the legislation also contains harmful criminalization bars that will exclude many immigrant youth. We need bold and inclusive legislation that leaves no one behind.

DHS continues to grow its massive immigration detention system using a web of corrupt contracts that breed impunity for abuses. We echo @DetentionWatch's call: Time to #CutTheContracts & shut down the #FirstTen immigrant detention centers. Watchdog agencies have long documented improper contracting practices & farcical inspections practices in the immigration detention system that is plagued with systemic racism & abuse. #CutTheContracts #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

UPDATE: Today a CA federal court issued final order in our lawsuit w/ @ACLU_SoCal ruling immigration detainers issued by ICE out of its Pacific Enforcement Response Center violate the Constitution & are null & void (even if PERC moves to another state). immigrantjustice.org/court_cases/go… 1/ Immigration detainers are requests ICE sends to local and state law enforcement asking them to keep immigrants detained after their authority expires so that ICE can come and take them into custody. 2/
