Biden promised to end family separation and condemned the previous administration for caging children, yet his administration has continued to expand detention on all fronts, including child detention. More than a year since President Biden took office, his administration continues to rely on large scale unlicensed influx & emergency intake sites that prolong child detention and expand the detention machine.

In the middle of the night, Congress released the final text for its $1.5 trillion federal funding bill.

This bill
-increases spending for ICE
-maintains CBP funding
-funds to detain 34k people ICE detention
-increases ICE’s falsely named “Alternatives to Detention” by $10 mil At nearly 3,000 pages, there is not enough space to explain the horrors this bill is proposing to fund.

Point blank - this bill further restricts, surveils, and harms immigrant communities. Do not believe congress members who say this funding is to provide protection and safety

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Immigrant leaders are outside the ICE offices in Washington DC demanding @DHSgov and @POTUS STOP all deportations NOW. DHS has full discretion to stop any more deportations from happening and prevent harm in our communities! Under the Biden administration, ICE & CBP have deported over 26,000 people, including thousands of Black immigrants to countries including Cameroon, Haiti & Jamaica. Immigrant youth will not be silent as these agencies continue to advance their racist & xenophobic agenda.

Trump and his administration just announced plans to roll out a new rule that would allow them to detain undocumented children and their parents for an INDEFINITE amount of time in concentration camps. This is an act of white supremacy.
buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo… The new rule seeks to replace a 1997 court settlement known as the Flores Agreement.

This is just another tactic from white supremacists to open doors that allow them to hurt more Black and brown immigrant communities. #CloseTheCamps #LetOurPeopleGo
