No, #COVID19 didn’t cause the @USCIS budget crisis, but policies that prioritized enforcement over adjudication, drive down efficiencies, and ratchet up delays sure did. Learn more: https://t.co/u3JiXdSLJe

@GovMikeDeWine @DrAmyActon @OHdeptofhealth @DRCOhio: Why are you ignoring the COVID hotspot in ICE detention at Morrow County Jail? The whole place is infected and needs to be shut down! https://t.co/QXXdvfCLAW

[AILAOhio @AILAOhioChapter]

Ohioans are demanding Morrow County Sheriff Dept. end the inhumane conditions in their jail and SHUT IT DOWN. Despite receiving almost $70/day per ICE inmate, they are not providing hot food, sanitation, proper medical care, or clean laundry. Sign here: https://t.co/ysXBqHi1pm

FIVE DEAD OF COVID-19 in Louisiana ICE detention. Are we waiting for THIS across Ohio before you act, @MikeDeWine ?

Every agency that incarcerates people in Ohio should make soap, hand sanitizer, healthcare & phone/video calls FREE for detainees. #DetaineesDeserve @butlersheriff @OHFCSO @GeaugaSheriff @CuyahogaSheriff @SenecaCountyOH @MorrowCountyHD @GovMikeDeWine @DrAmyActon

Please, @GovMikeDeWine, you are doing so much to keep *most* of us safe. Ohioans' family members in ICE detention deserve the same. Help our clients be #SafeAndTogether.

2 ICE detainees in isolation at Morrow County OH Jail w #COVID19 symptoms. No doctor in jail, no tests as far as we know. One of the men can barely walk. Jail is now 70% ICE. When is @GovMikeDeWine @OHdeptofhealth going to do something about this? #SafeAndTogether

[AILAOhio @AILAOhioChapter]

As #coronavirus spreads, detained immigrants remain separated from their families. They're being held in close quarters in detention facilities without basics like soap. Release these immigrants so they can be #SafeAndTogether w/ their families.

[AILAOhio @AILAOhioChapter]

.@OHSupremeCourt Chief Justice O’Connor: Does directive apply to #ICE detainees? Most could be released administratively tomorrow. Asking on behalf of immigration lawyers worried for their clients' lives. #SafeAndTogether #FreeThemAll @OHdeptofhealth @GovMikeDeWine

The National Archives recently gave ICE permission to "delete or destroy documents detailing the sexual abuse and death of undocumented immigrants." Read about it here: "Why You May Never Learn the Truth About ICE" https://t.co/YqVX5N7Ab7

[AILAOhio @AILAOhioChapter]

Immigration judges are tasked with cases that can determine life or death. To ensure they make fair and just decisions, the courts must be removed from the DOJ so they can operate independently. #JudicialIndependence https://t.co/SlFZAxyreB

“The Encouragement Provision” could potentially criminalize the advice an immigration attorney routinely and ethically provides to clients. In this #AILAQuickTake, @cyrusmehta explains more: https://t.co/7bvlskKCEa

Powerful opinion piece on the societal implications of Trump's proposal to collect DNA from detained immigrants.

Through forced DNA collection of immigrants, the government is taking a big step towards full population surveillance. https://t.co/qQtx7rwnsU

In case you missed it: A new @USCIS policy makes it more difficult for the children of certain overseas service members to become American citizens. This measure is just one example of how the administration has harmed immigrant troops and veterans. https://t.co/it0r5to1DI

[AILAOhio @AILAOhioChapter]

Read @AILANational's policy brief which sheds light on the misinformation in @DOJ_EOIR's "myth vs. fact" document and presents evidence to push back against the document's claims. https://t.co/seU9Ikmjmy
