🚨UPDATE ON THE KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER PAROLE IN PLACE (PIP) PROGRAM🚨 The temporary pause has now been extended to 9/23/24. Here's what it means ⤵️ #KeepingFamiliesTogether #ParoleInPlace #PIP

The idea that illegal immigrants vote in elections is like the perfect combination conspiracy theory for 2024. Infuriating. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick has been doing great work refuting it. We need every election official in every state to come out and refute it because it's hogwash.

Today marks 12 years since I sent my first DACA application. After 12 years — I am still a DACA recipient and my future in this country remains in legal limbo. Majority of our Aliento youth are fully undocumented. We need to change this, the American public is with us!

“She’d ruled on hundreds of asylum cases over the previous decade—and hadn’t granted asylum in a single one.” To appreciate just how much justice can depend on the judge you draw, you've got to read this maddening story by Monte Reel Sinduja Rangarajan. 🎁@bw link bloomberg.com/news/features/…

That makes 12 proven cases in four decades of an undocumented immigrant voting (out of a billion+ votes cast). Most were like this case, where a person's identity was fully stolen. It's worth emphasizing— this person HAD valid proof of citizenship when they registered and voted!

We hear a lot about issues that divide our nation. But 86% of Americans want candidates who work to bring forth bipartisan immigration reforms.

Everyone needs to understand what Trump's Project 2025 would mean for immigration. Mass deportations = mass family separation and the removal of our friends and neighbors.

I recently came across this forthcoming book by Ernesto Castañeda and Carina Cione. Given their work at Center for Latin American & Latino Studies and ImmigrationLab, this promises to be an excellent resource for correcting misinformation spread about immigration in the U.S. 🧵 amazon.com/dp/B0CYR7TV1M/…

I spent time in Springfield OH reporting on Haitian migration. Some of the nasty misinfo being echoed today was already circulating. I spoke to officer Jason Via, Deputy Director Public Safety: "We haven't really seen any of that. It's really frustrating" npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-…

“The campaign is more than just a celebration of immigrants, it's a reminder of what makes New York, New York,” Murad Awawdeh said. gothamist.com/news/pop-up-ph…

NEW: Finally, and in Texas, where migrants are treated as criminals, a historic landmark to pay tribute to Mexicans who sacrificed all to help the USA put food on tables. They were called Braceros. Listen in to Angela Kocherga compelling story: npr.org/2024/09/09/nx-…

Statement of the Haitian-American Foundation for Democracy Once again, the Trump/Vance team shamelessly exploits Haitians as scapegoats during their bid for the presidency. Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance and several congressional leaders have spread dangerous falsehoods,

Breaking: The city just confirmed it will be closing three shelters currently housing migrant families, a total of 3,030 beds: - Halsted, 2241 S. Halsted (closing Oct 1) - Ogden, 344 N. Ogden (Oct 1) - Lakeshore Hotel, 4900b S. DuSable Lake Shore Dr. (Oct 24) Story to come.

What these children suffered under Trump's #zerotolerance policy was so horrendous it met the UN’s definition of torture per Physicians for Human Rights and @APAPsychiatric called it "state-sanctioned child abuse." Listen to these kids. We can't let this happen again.

The recent dehumanizing disinformation targeting the Haitian American community has no place in our political dialogue. It is leveraged to promote xenophobic policies, it spreads bigotry, & it can lead to violence. Read more on anti-immigrant hate here: humanrightsfirst.org/library/xenoph…
