“.@potus has an opportunity to chart a new path. It’s legislation now or the prospect of deportation for DACA recipients like us and…many of our neighbors and loved ones."

The Supreme Court ALLOWS the Biden administration to terminate the controversial Trump-era asylum policy known as "remain in Mexico." Red states argued that Biden was obliged to keep the policy, but SCOTUS says in a 5-4 ruling that the administration can end it.

🚨Lawmakers are threatening to override the CDC's decision to end Title 42.🚨
We need YOU to email your members of Congress to:
❌Reject efforts that would keep Title 42 in place.
✅Restore a fair, humane, & orderly asylum process at our border.

We need your help! ICE is still transferring community members detained at Etowah 🚨 Call the NOLA Office of Public Engagement w/ the sample script below: 504-310-8822
Leave a message if they don't pick up! #FreeThemAll #ShutDownEtowah

ICE will no longer send immigrant detainees to Etowah County Detention Center in Gadsden, Ala., “as soon as possible,” citing “a long history of serious deficiencies.”
The agency will also limit its use of three other facilities across the South. wapo.st/3NoBtSg

“Let’s get it done, once and for all.” Tonight’s State of the Union Address only confirms the urgency for just immigration reform. @POTUS has the executive authority to provide immediate relief to immigrants across the country. We cannot wait any longer.
ACIJ retweeted
Also shout out to our partner organizations who helped make this possible: @HICA_Alabama, @ALimmigrant, @al_irp, Beloved Community Church, @ShutDownEtowah, @AdelanteAlabama, and a local United Methodist Church who provided van drivers.

Next up in our #Heroes series is our very own 🌟 Bilal. He and his family fled war in Afghanistan & started new lives in the US thanks to our asylum system in the 90s. Now he works to restore asylum & give other fams a chance. Join us & #WelcomeWithDignity bit.ly/wwdignitypledge

The Senate Parliamentarian’s callous decision to block protections for immigrants in #BuildBackBetter is unacceptable. Senate Democrats promised to deliver and they must. They have a moral and political obligation to include green cards for close to 8M in BBB. #FreedomTogether

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Immigration reform is included in the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better framework.
This is another big step toward fulfilling promises and recognizing the essential role of immigrants in the U.S. #WeAreHome

This week we were in DC w/ thousands of immigrants from all over the country to demand Congress take action and protect immigrants in the budget reconciliation package, as well as investments in the care economy, and green infrastructure. #WeAreHome youtube.com/watch?v=BEjH2Vsl…

More than 5 million undocumented immigrants have made immeasurable sacrifices risking their lives as #essentialworkers during the pandemic. More than two-thirds of them served on the frontlines of #COVID19. They deserve a path to citizenship now! #WeAreHome #FreedomTogether

#HR6 and the #FarmWorkforceModernizationAct would provide a pathway to citizenship to more than 4 million DREAMers, TPS and DED holders, and farm workers. These bills are a step forward for our communities. Now the Senate must improve and pass the bills. cbsn.ws/38SNpJe

We call on the @POTUS-@VP administration to issue a new #TPS designation for El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua & Haiti, countries that has been ravaged by climate catastrophes, violence and the #COVID19 pandemic. Join us and sign the petition ➡️ bit.ly/3bCW1UU

Immigrant inclusion in any #COVID19 relief package is a moral imperative & economic necessity. Immigrants continue to be at the forefront of the fight against this crisis but continue to be neglected. It's time to provide EVERYONE with the resources needed for our survival.
