We continue to promote accountability for the Lukashenka regime's human rights abuses and complicity in Putin's war. I announced 14 regime officials for visa restrictions. @USTreasury sanctioned 12 persons and identified Lukashenka's aircraft as blocked property.

#Belarus Political prisoner, @RFERL journalist and my friend Ihar Losik attempted suicide in prison. He's been on a hunger strike, then cut his hands and neck. He was rescued. His wife Darya was also jailed. How painful. The release of political prisoners is a matter of urgency.

We @immcouncil got data showing that USCIS basically allowed desperate Afghans and their friends/family to pay the agency millions of dollars following the fall of Kabul to seek humanitarian parole... and then just sat on the applications or denied nearly all of them.

Ales Bialiatski, human rights defender from Belarus, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Belarusian regime's desperate attempt to silence critics with long prison sentences is appalling but not unexpected. #FreeViasna @viasna96 https://t.co/nYeiUJ61ri

This country consistently holds protesters to a higher standard than police.

Russian forces routinely tortured detainees in Izium, Ukraine, to extract information from them.

Survivors described being subjected to electric shock, waterboarding, severe beatings, threats at gunpoint, and being forced to hold stress positions for extended periods.

"Russia claims...these children don’t have parents... But the AP found...officials have deported Ukrainian children to Russia...without consent, lied to them...used them for propaganda, and given them Russian families and citizenship."

The LA Times is calling for Nury Martinez, Kevin de León, and Gil Cedillo to resign. They must. So must labor chief Ron Herrera.

That’s where the accountability and healing Los Angeles desperately needs and deserves will begin.

Must read!! Superb brief filed by @karahartlzer in CA9 anti-discrimination challenge to the criminal illegal reentry statute. Bottom line: there's no question it was enacted based on anti-Mexican racial animus. Sorry for long 🧵but there's A LOT here. 1/ https://t.co/F3aeUeJNiN

Periodically, I’ll think about how the only reason America implemented free breakfast programs for schoolchildren was because the Black Panthers had a similar program and the government was worried about them winning hearts and minds.

BREAKING: California has just become the 2nd state in nation to make prison phone calls free for incarcerated people & their families. This is a huge win & step toward putting prison profiteers out of business. Congratulations @WorthRises & @BiancaTylek. Thank you @CAgovernor

Oh my GOD. The warden who gunned down two migrants (and maybe a third) was the warden of ICE’s West Texas Detention Facility.

I was there in 2018 when it was housing parents separated from their kids. It is a bleak, awful, place—where the water is foul and the treatment fouler.
