🚨The GOP’s proposed $150 billion immigration package is an inexcusable waste of federal resources.
Asylum is a human right— it should NEVER have a price tag attached.
❌Call your reps and demand they vote against this blatant attack on human rights.

🚨LAWG condemns the arrests of Indigenous Guatemalan leaders Vice-Minister Luis Pacheco & Héctor Chaclán.
We demand their immediate release! AG Porras must stop criminalizing HR defenders, Indigenous leaders, & members of the Semilla Party.

The inhumanity demonstrated by Trump and Bukele in yesterday's meeting was outrageous but unsurprising. They have the power to return Kilmar and every soul illegally transported to El Salvador. They are choosing cruelty instead.

This is NUTS. In this country, we do not let our leaders sign secret agreements with foreign dictators to deport people without oversight or transparency. That is illegal.

NEW: The Trump administration thumbs its nose at the Supreme Court, saying that there is nothing the judge can do to order them to bring Mr. Abrego back.
They also refuse to provide any information on the deal with Bukele, claiming it’s classified and maybe also a state secret.

Justice for Sara Millerey demands more than arresting those responsible for her murder. We demand that Colombian officials strengthen protections for LGBTQ individuals & combat anti-trans rhetoric, which motivates this unspeakable violence.

🔍 The IRS and DHS agreement allows ICE to access tax records for individuals with deportation orders or under investigation.
🗣️ Critics argue this violates privacy laws and could deter immigrants from filing taxes, despite paying billions annually.

As El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele visits the White House, the conversation of human rights must be on the table. Amnesty has documented how the Bukele government has systematically eroded the judiciary’s independence, eliminated constitutional protections for human rights, and persecuted human rights defenders like Fidel Zavala.

Imagine being jailed for 800 days, put on house arrest, and now you are back in prison. Another attempt by the Guatemalan #pactodecorruptos to silence the press. Journalist José Rubén Zamora deserves #freedom.
