What Susie said. Plus it was more law and order all the time. And the level of cruelty is already not okay. Still Trump & Co are hypocrites and liars.

27 Cameroonian asylum seekers have been allowed back into the US after they were deported in 2020.
Their experiences highlight the need for reforms within the US immigration system and the need to protect Cameroonians from deportation.

Denver's new migration approach: treat ppl like ppl help set them up. “This is investing in ppl to set them up to be independent thrive. We know that when we set people up for success, ppl really do succeed." Sarah Plastino, program lead in apnews.com/article/denver-mi…

🚨 (1/2) Since San Diego's Migrant Welcome Center closed, @ImmDef & partners like @HaitianBridge & @AlOtroLado_Org have assisted 33,715 asylum seekers left on the streets by CBP since Feb 22.
Despite limited government support, we persist because it's our mission.

The Haitian Bridge Alliance convened in Geneva, Switzerland last week to speak ahead of the United Nations. In front of the committee, we called out the deliberate and forceful deportations to Haiti that the Biden Administration persists in carrying out.

Will "Crossing the Line" be in Your Hand, or Banned, Two Months from Today? No matter. Walls of all sorts can be torn down, tunneled under, or tip-toed around.

Asylum is meant to protect people from politics (political persecution, oppression, etc).
Countries are increasingly denying asylum seekers because of politics (electioneering, fear-mongering, etc).
That leaves asylum seekers stateless, in the cold, dead.

Aaand we have our answer as to whether DOJ will sue to stop SB4 like it did to stop SB1070 under Obama.

JUST IN -- The Biden administration has warned Texas that it will sue the state if it enforces SB4, a law signed by Gov. Abbott that would allow state officials to arrest, jail and prosecute migrants on illegal entry criminal charges, according to a letter obtained by CBS News.

New — The drastic border and asylum restrictions considered by President Biden reflect a seismic political shift on immigration.
It's a shift that would've been unthinkable 3 years ago, when Biden promised to "restore" the asylum system.

About half of all farmworkers in the US are undocumented. The people some are calling for mass deportations to target are literally the people ensuring that you have food on your plate.

“…at the southern border, we don’t have the luxury of things just being political and theory. They’re real lives, they’re real moms, dads, sisters, and brothers…”

WATCH 🎥: “I urge you to contact your Members of Congress and the Biden administration and urge them to vote NO on anti-immigrant measures.
Comprehensive and humane immigration reform should be separate from any spending bill,” @mlimongarza said. #SaveAsylum

That the IDF murdered three hostages bearing white flags is horrifying but also consistent with their usual behavior. This has been documented several times in the case of Palestinian civilians, it's just that Western media doesn't cover it.

5 years ago, we spent Christmas in Tornillo, protesting a prison for migrant children. Now, under a Democratic admin, things might get much, much worse. Pls @POTUS @SenSchumer @ChrisMurphyCT @SenBennett_52 #SaveAsylum #WelcomeWithDignity
