This Intl Women’s Day beautiful, strong Tina is in my ♥️. Unjustly deported to Morocco after 20 yrs in the U.S. she lost DACA b/c of a single conviction she received as victim of domestic abuse. Now she lives in exile torn from her two kids, fighting for a #ChancetoComeHome 🧵👇🏽
Deported mom returns to San Diego after more than a decade sandiegouniontribune.com/new…

It's been a day in immigration court land. 🤯Within hours of one another we got dueling decisions from 2 different courts in cases involving Title 42, an absurd, cruel policy that has made a mockery of our asylum laws. Here's a 🧵on what happened today. /1

If states can shield their laws from review by federal courts, then CA will use that authority to help protect lives.
We will work to create the ability for private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts in CA.

Gov. @GavinNewsom, these are the stories of people who were transferred into ICE custody during this pandemic. They were given no information, no way to protect their health or the health of others. youtube.com/watch?v=YNR241np…

“The Governor @GavinNewsom and Attorney General @AGBecerra bear responsibility for the substantial risk of serious harm that ICE transfers pose to persons in state and local custody…we owe it to the parties and the public to resolve the heart of the matter.” #SaveLives – at California, USA
NEWS: The California Supreme Court today rejected our lawsuit to force Gov. @GavinNewsom to halt local law enforcement transfers of people into ICE detention where the cramped conditions put them at heightened risk of #COVID19. aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…

This #MothersDay2020, all families deserve to be together. Gov. @GavinNewsom, you can make this a reality. Issue a moratorium on all transfers to ICE now! #StopICEtransfers #KeepFamiliesTogether action.aclu.org/ca-gov-halt-…
Thank you @miriamkrinsky @chesaboudin @GeorgeGascon for your leadership in calling on the CA Supreme Court to stop California from continuing to senselessly transfer people into ICE’s death traps.
1/ Today, 10 current and former DAs & law enforcement leaders came together to file an amicus letter brief w/ the CA Supreme Court challenging transfers to dense immigration detention facilities. fairandjustprosecution.org/w…

We agree, this is why we’ve asked Gov. @GavinNewsom and @AGBecerra to take action to protect vulnerable people trapped in jails, juvenile facilities, and prisons - and prevent transfers to ICE: action.aclu.org/ca-covid-act…

People imprisoned by ICE are being charged for soap. Most of the time all they have access to is shampoo. In Adelanto Detention they are currently on hunger strike because they are forced to clean their common areas without soap in the middle of a pandemic bit.ly/2xu1tti

1⃣Halt transfers of individuals into ICE custody
2⃣Drastically reduce the # of people held in juvenile facilities & county jails

#BREAKING: We've filed a class-action lawsuit against ICE to demand a drastic reduction of people detained at #Adelanto during the pandemic.
Putting people at such heightened exposure to #COVID19 is not only inhumane, it also violates the 5th amendment.

Efforts to get ICE to release “medically vulnerable” detainees remind me of Gov Cuomo’s advice not long ago telling people to take less crowded subway cars. They will look shockingly inadequate really soon. #COVID19 #freethemall @kamalaharris @pramilajayapal @aclusocal @aclu 1/
It is unconscionable and barbaric that ICE continues to detain ppl without any measures to protect against the spread of COVID-19 and the loss of lives in its—entirely unnecessary— immigration prisons. Support the hunger strikers fighting for life! #FreeThemAll
BREAKING: A rising movement from inside Mesa Verde Detention Center has spread, leadings to a massive hunger strike and sit-in at two different cells! The demands are clear: in response to COVID-19, all migrants detained at Mesa Verde Detention Center! #FreeThemAll
Thank you @SpeakerPelosi and @sdACLU @mylangarica @MitraEbadolahi for addressing this unspeakable treatment of a woman in labor. She and her baby needed immediate medical attention, not shackles and incarceration.
Reports of abuse and neglect inflicted by U.S. immigration agents on a pregnant Guatemalan woman in labor during asylum processing are deeply concerning. @DHSOIG must immediately begin an investigation into this unacceptable behavior. speaker.gov/newsroom/4920-0
