For 13 days, immigrants suffering inhumane conditions in a Texas detention center have been on a hunger strike. At least one hunger striker has confirmed connections to Illinois.
I stand with our neighbors putting their bodies on the line to demand DHS honor their basic human rights.
DHS detention has always been inadequate and inhumane. We must end detention, abolish ICE, and dismantle DHS. Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.
This #GivingTuesday, take a minute to explore our 2025 Impact Report, a testament to what your support has made possible.
Together, we strengthened the movement, protected people facing unimaginable barriers & challenged enormous injustice.

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:
“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”
“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”
A month later, he was gone.

Three children who are U.S. citizens — including a boy with cancer — were sent to Honduras by the Trump administration along with their undocumented mothers who were deported. "At no point did these parents have any choice," says immigration lawyer Gracie Willis with @NIPNLG.

I'll end this thread by noting that this husband and wife were prevented from yet another outrage being carried out against them by the hard work and lawyering of @SirineShebaya and @NIPNLG.
They got their day in court. And they won spectacularly, setting important precedent.

Thanks to all who took action, Cesar and Norelia are free, and will soon be home with their children. This family should’ve never been targeted. Thanks to people power and the great lawyers at @NIPNLG, this is a win for human rights. As we celebrate, we will continue to fight for all of those being unjustly targeted, detained, or deported.

Yesterday, Judge Briones, like Judges Harvey, Brinkema, and Berton before him, ordered Cesar & Norelia released. The absurdity of the situation was not lost on him as he ended the hearing and order by noting “Let's see what court you're going to go to next.” 10/
"We are grateful that Judge Briones saw through ICE's baseless accusations & granted Cesar & Norelia’s habeas petition so that they can return home to DC and be with their family," said @SirineShebaya from @NIPNLG. "We hope this will mark an end to their traumatizing ordeal." 11/
