This plan was devised under the Biden administration. Something similar happened during the Obama years where DHS was refusing to record abuse incidents in detention so that it could claim abuses were not happening.

When it comes to immigration, the line between republican and democrat becomes pretty blurry.

It would be one thing for Biden to do nothing to help immigrants, not keep his promises and such. But it gets annoying when in addition to fake promises, they also come up with new ways to f**k over immigrants.

A majority of those fast-tracked were asylum seekers, fleeing violence. It isn't hard to bully vulnerable people, but celebrating policies that do that "on the books" is pretty low.

The San Francisco Immigration Court last year fast-tracked the cases of immigrants whose...

Democrats save Texas! Never thought we'd be making that statement...

Texas democrats staged a walkout at Sunday night’s legislative session to block the passage of what’s being called one of the most restrictive voting bills in the country. “We know that it's unconstitutional and it was really just created to not let brown and black people vote like...

The detainees are so scared to even request medical care. Seems like the trump admin has been getting tips on its response to corona from detention guards!!

Disgusting and why are we even still detaining people? Some countries even let go of prisoners, and yet we have jails full of people who are suffering!!

When detainees at an Alabama jail got sick — or simply asked to be tested — they were put in solitary confinement.

DACA was only possible because so many young dreamers were deported until people started caring. It is great that DACA is being protected, but now it should also be expanded to include the millions of Dreamers who were too young to apply for DACA.

These need to be protected! Every year 75,000 of these invisible dreamers graduate from high schools around this country, with very few prospects for moving forward in life.

Help us get the word out and use your celebration to bring attention to people who lucked out. . .

With the Supreme Court upholding DACA, I call on you and all elected officials to add to this program the countless other young people who…

Something tells us this isn't all happening by accident. Immigrants were already behind when it came to fighting their cases, can you imagine trying to do that while the world is shut down? This is why we need a Covid-19 Stay of Removal for people like this: https://act.dreamactivist.org/petitions/Mjk/sign

"This week an 8-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a teenage single mother with an infant were preparing for imminent court dates and deadlines in New York, lawyers representing them said. With children trapped indoors in shelters and foster-care homes, many young migrants who don’t have lawyers may not even be aware of ongoing court cases that could quickly end with orders for them to be deported."

Trump administration presses on with court proceedings, rebuffing pleas from attorney and advocates.

Keep in mind these are all immigrants, most of which are detained simply for fleeing a country they thought they'd be killed in. Why are we still detaining people like this during such a crisis?

"In my unit," she explained, "80 women share three toilets, six showers, and eight telephones. We sleep in bunk beds just a few feet apart. There is no hand sanitizer, and the guards come in and out of the dorm without wearing masks or gloves."

"It is unfortunate we had to resort to the courts for this relief; ICE should be doing this on its own," said the San Francisco public defender.

Small victory but it is good to remember what's possible!

"The Montana Supreme Court has banned Montana law enforcement officers from arresting undocumented immigrants on federal civil immigration violations after a Eureka man sued the Lincoln County sheriff for denying him the right to bail himself out of jail."

"This is a major victory for immigrants in Montana,” said Alex Rate, legal director for the ACLU of Montana.

"A pregnant mother from Honduras who was seeking asylum with her four-year-old daughter, described her fear of contracting COVID-19 and dying, due to the inadequate conditions and care at the Dilley facility: “I cannot keep a sufficient distance from other people to keep myself safe from contracting the virus if they have it. I must be close to others all of the time. I share a room, bathroom, and the dining hall. All locations in this jail are communal.” https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/04/usa-covid19-pandemic-authorities-must-release-immigration-detainees/

How well do you think the detention centers are equipped to handle this?

"LUMPKIN, Ga (WRBL) – Seven CoreCivic employees that work at the Stewart County Detention Center have tested positive for COVID-19. According to legal documents obtained by News 3, there are now five detainees who’ve tested positive for COVID-19 and 30 more suspected cases within the detainees."
