Just-out YouGov polling shows Trump's approval on the economy continuing to plunge — and his handling of immigration turning negative very sharply. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Trump now at net disapproval on immigration. Expelling people who lawfully entered the country to seek protection is not popular! Renditioning people to a foreign prison gulag is not popular! As the public sees Trump's actual immigration policies, support will keep dropping.

The Cambodian & Thai govts have engaged in transnational repression to silence dissent by facilitating assaults, abductions, enforced disappearances, and forced returns to persecution of their own citizens living outside their country. Elaine Pearson @HRW hrw.org/news/2025/04/2…

Heartbreaking reports of civilians killed and injured by Russian missiles and drones in Kyiv and across #Ukraine – one of the deadliest attacks since 2022. Several children are among the wounded. Just last week, our Kherson office was hit. This escalating terror must stop.

WOW. This is incredible. It signals open defiance of the Supreme Court, which ruled that the government MUST give people "reasonable time" to be able to "actually seek habeas relief" — to be able to ACTUALLY, not theoretically, sue. 12 hours is not enough for that. Period.

Attacks intensifying in Ukrainian cities and in frontline regions, as civilians bear the brunt. Civilian casualties spike (increase of 70%) and people continue to flee their homes. UN Refugee Agency latest update from Kyiv ā¬‡ļø unhcr.org/news/briefing-…

First up in the series is an explainer on the Leahy Laws, with an emphasis on how they compare to #GlobalMagnitsky sanctions and the role civil society can play in triggering action under both programs. Read our explainer belowšŸ‘‡humanrightsfirst.org/library/the-le…

Perverse and illegal. Law enacted by Congress spells out requirements for a safe third country, and Libya does not meet those requirements. (Nor does Rwanda).

There are more political prisoners in Russia today than in Soviet times. Any deal to end the war in #Ukraine must include also release all political prisoners, prisoners of war, and return Ukrainian children. ⁦Vladimir Kara-Murza⁩ ⁦McCain Institute⁩ #SedonaForum
