@RepZoeLofgren@AGRobBonta@DHSgov@SecMayorkas Thank you @AGRobBonta and @RepZoeLofgren - the record is clear immigration detention causes harm, trauma, suffering and even death. It is time to end the concentration camps of abuse inflicting harm. Please continue to pressure and prosecute violations of their own standards.

Immigrants should NEVER be used as bargaining chips.
Republicans are trying to use immigrants as a political football as they push for their cruel, unworkable border bill.
We won't let them. It's time for an immigration system that centers justice, dignity, and humanity.

We grieve the loss lives. We call on the US to stop sending weapons and military equipments. We demand for immediate ceasefire, and unrestricted humanitarian aid to reach those in Gaza! @POTUS@KamalaHarris@SpeakerPelosi@GavinNewsom @BarbaraLeeForCA @RoKhanna@SecBlinken
@POTUS We call for a Ceasefire and the US to stop sending new weapons and military equipment to Israel which will escalate and result in more death and destruction of Gazan civilians. There must be an unrestricted humanitarian aid corridor and a future of equality and freedom for all.
