A story by @HoustonChron sheds light on Abbott's persistent efforts to dehumanize and traumatize immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"The Biden admin must act now and stop Abbott's callously inhumane and punitive border enforcement," said our @mlimongarza.

In the two months since an 8-year-old girl died in Border Patrol custody we have learned:
-she had a 104.9 fever the day before she died
-a nurse denied her mother's pleas to send her to the hospital
-a court monitor said the death was preventable

We are in court again today making clear that Trump’s racist efforts to end humanitarian immigration protections for 400,000 people is not only unconstitutional, but also inhumane #TPSJustice #ResidencyNOW

President Biden must continue to utilize the TPS program to provide humanitarian protection to people affected by natural disasters, ongoing political turmoil, and other extraordinary circumstances.

Diana Konaté, ACT Policy Director:
"In an effort to deny our communities critical legal protections, between 2017 & 2018, the Trump administration terminated TPS for Sudan, Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nepal. "
