Meet Byron.
They are one of the thousands of people that the Migrant Protection Protocols have forced to stay in Mexico.
Thousands of families remain stuck at the border. The Biden Administration has to step up.

After fleeing Guatemala, Byron sought safety in the US but was turned away. He’s been trapped in danger in Tijuana for 2 years on the asylum waitlist and under “Remain in Mexico.
We join Byron in calling on the Biden Admin to act with urgency!

We KNOW that conditions inside of immigrant detention centers are inhumane.
Caging immigrants is inhumane.
Deporting immigrants is inhumane.
We must #AbolishICE and end all forms of detention!

.@GregAbbott_TX has NEVER cared for immigrant children in his state, so why is he claiming now that he wants to shut these because they are terrible places?
Hint: He's up for re-election in 2022.

.@GregAbbott_TX showed us that he continues to be Trump’s puppet.
His visit to the border was not about keeping anyone safe, but a big spectacle in order to drum up support for his re-election.
Join us, as we prepare to hold him accountable in 2022 👉🏾raicesaction.org/join-us.

Replacing the heads of @CBP will not structurally change the function of CPB: to maintain the status quo of white supremacy and terrorize immigrants.
We must #AbolishCBP.

Private prisons continue to be places of rampant abuse and inhumane treatment.
Corporations should not be able to profit off of the caging of human beings. #FreeThemAll

This is welcomed news from the Biden Administration, but it has yet to undo all of the disastrous policies set by the previous administration.
Biden needs to #EndTitle42, and restore asylum!

Family separation is still happening.
The new administration has not done enough to make sure families seeking asylum remain together.

Black liberation is tied to Immigrant's liberation.
The BREATHE Act addresses systemic issues both in criminal and immigration detention practices.

in 2010, the DREAM Act failed in the Senate because of the filibuster.
Keeping a rule that denies thousands, if not millions, of people immigration relief is shameful. @SenatorSinema has the power to change this.
The filibuster needs to end. #EndTheFilibusterNow

Where in the world is @SenatorSinema?
Sinema missed the vote on investigating the Jan. 6th insurrection, but claims she's standing up for our democracy. It's time for her to do her job.
