We are Jews, immigrants & allies taking direct action to stop violence and persecution against immigrants. We fight to end deportation, detention, and ICE.

The last few days have weighed heavily on our hearts, as we watch the heart-wrenching loss of life in Israel/Palestine.

As a movement of Jews, immigrants, & allies, we have many among us who are experiencing personal grief and fear for the safety of friends and family.

1/ For those in our movement who have Israeli loved ones, this level of violence may be horrifying and unprecedented.

For Palestinians who are part of our movement and in our communities, this kind of grief, loss, and violence is likely devastatingly familiar.

It’s time to do something different and big—

We’re coming together for our first ever Migrant Solidarity Assembly.

We’re going to the frontlines in the struggle for immigrant justice: Texas.

And we want YOU there.

bit.ly/assembly-inter… Graphic with blue writing on a yellow and orange background. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen the Biden administration revive the illegal Trump-era asylum transit ban and consider reinstating migrant family detention.

Apparently all those promises made three years ago about protecting migrants…didn’t mean much.

BREAKING: We're back at the house of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and we brought receipts.

In these 115 boxes are Trump's 115 ICE contracts, which the Biden administration promised to cancel. Instead Mayorkas has kept them in place, turning local police into extensions of ICE. NOW: Instead of coming out of his house to dialogue with us, Secretary Mayorkas has sent the Secret Service outside to destroy our message to him.

We brought 115 of Trump's ICE contracts, which Biden promised his DHS would cancel. Instead, they continue to terrorize immigrants.

“If you think he’s illegal, we can make him disappear.”

Yesterday the Washington Post released a bombshell report on Trump's ICE contracts. What they uncovered is horrifying, and absolutely worth reading in full.

Here are three crucial takeaways:

washingtonpost.com/investigations… 1. The police departments who've partnered with ICE through these contracts are the worst of the worst.

Joe Arpaio loves the 287(g) program. Sheriff Terry Johnson does too, because he thinks Mexican's "values are a lot different — their morals — than what we have here.”

You're going to want to read this @washingtonpost investigation on Trump's ICE contracts.

And then you're going to want to join our campaign to make sure @SecMayorkas immediately cancels them all.

This needs to blow up:

❌ The CDC concluded there was no public health reason for banning & expelling immigrants
⛔️ Pence pressured the CDC to start Title 42 anyway to stop immigration.

but...

🚨 @JoeBiden & @SecMayorkas keep defending this policy as a public health measure. Trump CDC official: No 'public health reason' for border clo New testimony in congress shows that a CDC agency head refused to sign the order because it was clear this was just an anti-immigrant power grab. coronavirus.house.gov/sites/democrat… A: Dr. Cetron takes the regulatory authority for quarantine

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.

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.

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

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.

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. William Ortiz, a young man, plays with his infant daughter i

There was a failed coup d'etat yesterday and our leaders are deciding that it doesn't deserve any consequences.

We have two weeks to make sure they've changed their minds by their first day back. 🧵 1⃣Trump must be held accountable.

Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings upon return. The constitution allows for impeachment of former officers. The only real consequence for his actions will be if he is disqualified from holding future office.

Never Again is a sacred promise to study, name, and fight fascism.

It's what drives us to get arrested blocking ICE detention centers.

Now, for the safety & freedom of every person in those camps AND in this country, it means forcing Trump out when he loses.

A thread: Approaching election day (vote!), all the data we’re looking at points in the same likely direction:

1. The majority of voters, including in the states that matter, will choose Joe Biden.

2. Donald Trump will declare victory anyway, and try to cheat to stay in power.

The scenes in Portland are incredibly dystopian. Faceless agents attacking protesters, grabbing people off the street & throwing them in vans.

The agency carrying all this out? Border Patrol. And that’s not a coincidence.

A brief history thread:

(content warning | violence) Border Patrol was created in 1924 as part of the Asian Exclusion and National Origin Acts, which banned all Asian immigrants and set the quotas which kept European Jews from escaping Nazism to America.

It’s been a paramilitary serving white supremacy from day 1.

Trump & ICE are moving closer and closer to their vision of white supremacy.

Here's some of what's going on JUST THIS WEEK: 1) ICE is planning on using a recent ruling to pull children away from their families. They can #FreeTheFamilies at any time, but instead, they choose this:

Hey. I'm Ben, I write a lot of Never Again's tweets, and I never put my name on them.

Today is different. I'm crying, and as a human being I need everyone to know what ICE started doing yesterday, so we can stop them.

ICE calls it 'binary choice'. Really, it's Sophie's Choice. There are still families in ICE camps. Mostly mothers locked up with their children.

It's crowded. It's dirty. It's dangerous.

These mothers are terrified they and their children are going to get sick and die.

ICE could just set them free. Here's what they're doing instead.
