NEW FWD.us blog looks at how multiple humanitarian crises make it impossible for Haitians to return to their home country safely. The U.S. must redesignate & extend #TPS4Haiti in order to help save lives & keep families together. #DefendBlackImmigrants fwd.us/news/temporary…

The situation in Haiti is increasingly dire, with violence, instability, & famine forcibly displacing thousands from their homes. Redesignating & extending #TPS4Haiti is critical to providing safety and stability for vital members of American communities.

Failing to provide Haitian nationals in the United States with protections, beginning with #TPS and including additional safe and legal pathways, would have devastating human consequences.

The U.S. must follow through on its commitment to building a humane and working immigration system, beginning with redesignating & extending #TPS4Haiti. Learn more: fwd.us/news/temporary…

Governor Kathy Hochul's pick of Judge LaSalle is anti-immigrant, make no mistake. His record shows disdain for immigrants and youth, and he rejects due process rights critical to safeguarding from ICE arrest. State Senators who stand for true immigrant justice must say NO to LaSalle.

THIS MORNING: Join us in telling New York City Council that NYC should not be acting as an arm of immigration policing - hear from community members and advocates share why the 3 #ICEOutNYC bills to be discussed later that morning are crucial for the safety + stability of our communities

Thank you Council Member Shahana Hanif Carlina Rivera and Keith Powers for supporting #ICEoutNYC. Local law enforcement has no place serving as another arm of the immigration policing regime and we look forward to working together to strengthen the 3 bills to keep our communities safe.

E-mails obtained by @IDP and BAJI + ongoing testimony from community members leaves no doubt: NYC has a culture of colluding with ICE to detain + deport immigrant New Yorkers. It’s time to get #ICEoutNYC and pass the 3 bills before the Council NOW! bit.ly/3k9SHc5

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live. Thousands of families in Southern Towers are being displaced because of #CIMGroup’s exploitative housing practices. We must protect tenants’ rights and #ACT4SouthernTowers!

For yrs we’ve tracked how NYC flouted existing detainer laws and continued to funnel pple into the hands of ICE. Today @immdefense and @Bajitweet released emails between NY Dept of Correction and ICE showing deep collusion. Full statement + memo: immigrantdefenseproject.org/the-immigrant-…

It’s time for @nyccouncil to send a clear message that our city will not be a pipeline to detention + deportation. We need to get #ICEOutNYC now by passing 3 bills: Intros 184, 185, and 158 to stop the collusion and create a way for those harmed by violations to seek justice.
