@ellengilmer Americans are asking for meaningful changes like #AmericanFamiliesUnitedAct #HR1698, which directly benefits US citizens by letting our spouses adjust status where current law bars them - an extreme violation of our rights. It's the most broken and overlooked part of our system.

[ABIC Action @ABICaction]

CEO of ABIC Action, @RebeccaShi1985, spoke about how businesses are being negatively impacted by current immigration enforcement tactics and the need for Congress to deliver solutions at a bipartisan press conference Thursday hosted by ABIC Action and @amerifamsunited.

ABIC Action & @amerifamsunited hosted a press conference to release findings from the 2025 AFU National Survey of Mixed-Status Couples.

Speakers, including co-sponsor of the Dignity Act @RepMariaSalazar, spoke about the need for Congress to deliver immigration solutions.

[Rep. María Elvira Salazar @RepMariaSalazar]

Hoy estuve en el Capitolio junto a @amerifamsunited defendiendo a ciudadanos estadounidenses cuyas familias están siendo separadas por un sistema migratorio fallido.

Nuestras leyes deben partir de una verdad fundamental: los ciudadanos de Estados Unidos y sus familias deben permanecer juntos. La Ley de Dignidad responde a esa realidad al incorporar la Ley de Familias Unidas de América y proteger a los ciudadanos estadounidenses de separaciones injustas e innecesarias.

[Rep. Veronica Escobar @RepEscobar]

Our immigration system is broken and hasn’t been meaningfully updated in decades.

That’s why today I introduced a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill known as the Dignity Act.

New: Reps. Salazar & Escobar are pushing a bipartisan immigration bill today in a test of lawmakers’ willingness to engage in broad reform talks with border crossings at record lows — after years of failed attempts and increasingly fractious politics https://t.co/PBKshdR813

.@RepMoskowitz @RepMariaSalazar @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi @indystar @MiamiHerald Representatives, U.S. citizens and their spouses in mixed status families are being terrorized by ICE. Families of U.S. citizens should not be detained or deported. Please pass the Dignity Act!

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

@RepMariaSalazar Spouses of U.S. citizens in mixed status families should be protected from separation, detention, and or deportation! These families are paying taxes to the U.S. and should have human and civil rights.

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi U.S. citizens in mixed status families should not be separated! Their spouses and or kids should not be deported! They should not face detention! Protect them from Trump policies which are not pro-family. Tell Trump respect our rights.

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi Again Senators, high priority should be given to protecting U.S. citizen families that are mixed status. They should be shielded from separation and deportation. Hands off those mixed status families!!

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi Trump and his allies threaten to separate and or deport spouses of U.S. citizens and even the U.S. citizens. Congress, let's block separation and or deportation of U.S. citizen families. These people pay taxes and have human rights!

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi 2025 will be an extremely tough year on U.S. citizens with spouses in mixed status families. Congress can do the right thing and pass the Dignity Act and the American Families United Act, or include them in immigration reform legislation

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi Some U.S. citizens are forced to spend Christmas and New Years without their spouses in mixed status families. This should not happen! I know how that feels. Make this the last holiday season that we cannot have our spouses in the U.S.

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi Trump is a dire threat to 1.1 million U.S. citizens in mixed status families. He would rip apart the families of these U.S. citizens. Please provide safety and security for these families and include them in your immigration reform bill

[Charles Kuck @ckuck]

If all the undocumented immigrants subject to the permanent bar of INA 212(a)(9)(C) and the 10 year bar of INA 212(a)(9)(B), who also had US citizen children over the age of 21, were able to obtain residence, 5 million people who are taxpaying, employed, and job creating immigrants would become "legal" residents.

The Permanent Bar is immoral. Remove the bar, fix immigration.

[John Wright @JohnWri32251666]

.@RepMoskowitz @RepLuttrell @RepTomSuozzi Over a million U.S. citizens with spouses in mixed status families urgently need help. Trump is a threat to all of us too! Please include The Dignity Act and American Families United Act in your immigration reform legislation.

[American Families United @amerifamsunited]

📢 Congress + @POTUS do something to save families NOW!

[American Families United @amerifamsunited]

Today, @amerifamsunited, representing 1.1 million U.S. citizens married to undocumented spouses, filed an amicus curiae, “friend-of-the-court,” brief in the case of Texas vs. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“Let me be clear: this lawsuit, led by 16 Republican Attorneys General, to tear apart American families is cruel and an insult to our nation’s core values,” said @ashleydeazevedo, President of @amerifamsunited . “We hope the court sees that ripping American families apart is not only heartless and cruel, but flatly rejects this lawsuit because this program is legally sound.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

A Biden administration program offering a path to citizenship for up to half a million undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens is on hold while a federal court considers a challenge from 16 Republican-led states.

@johnyangtv sat down with @ashleydeazevedo to learn more.
