We're urging @POTUS to stand with immigrants and use TPS for all countries that need it. It’s time to deliver on the campaign promise and establish a fair and humane immigration system. #TPSForCentralAmerica

[HaitianBridge @HaitianBridge]

🚨🚨🚨The Biden administration just sent another deportation flight to Haiti 🚨🚨🚨

The depth of this inhumanity is cruel, outrageous, and fueled by anti-Black racism.

@POTUS @VP @SecMayorkas @SecBlinken Turn this flight around IMMEDIATELY‼️ and #StopDeportationstoHaiti

[Karen Sullivan @KarenESullivan]

We're joining great conversations today at the National Immigrant Inclusion Conference #NIIC2022 , including @cliniclegal executive director, Anna Gallagher, speaking about how expanding legal services for immigrants is essential to realize justice for all.

I was interviewed for this great article by @mikelasusa at @Law360 about Accredited Representatives, how they help meet the need for affordable counsel, and the resources needed to address backlogs at the govt agency providing their credentials.

Black immigrant leaders and allies call on @SecMayorkas to designate #TPS for #Mauritania! Safe return is impossible at this time due to slavery, human trafficking, arbitrary arrest and more. #Act4BlackImms and learn more here: https://t.co/96cewMmdWS

On avg, Black migrants serve the longest length of time in detention & are 6X more likely to be placed into solitary confinement. During #BHM, donate to the Black Immigrants Bail Fund to fight back and free people: https://t.co/WsJFsOkjtl

[Karen Sullivan @KarenESullivan]

During #BHM the Biden Administration must follow through on its promise to #DefendBlackImmigrants by protecting 40,000 Cameroonians from deportation back to extreme danger. Grant #TPS4Cameroon NOW! #Act4BlackImms https://t.co/UutkReh9gG

Today I'm marking #BlackHistoryMonth by joining the Black Immigrant Advocacy Day of Action, celebrating the leadership of Black immigrants in the work to expose and eradicate racism in the U.S. immigration system. Let's #Act4BlackImms! 👉🏾https://t.co/DFDzvCAFWO

Excellent work by the @WelcomeWDignity campaign who placed this ad in the @nytimes as part of a national day of action for Black migrants. End the cruelty. Save lives. Protect black migrants. #WelcomeWithDignity #DefendBlackImmigrants

A really impactful thread from my colleague @cliniclegal, Luis, about the Biden Administration's continuing use of #Title42 to flout our obligation to protect those fleeing persecution, and neglect the human beings who will suffer as a result. #MigrantsRightsAreHumanRights

[Luis Guerra @LuisYGuerra]

The D.C. Circuit court’s decision, which allows the Biden administration to continue to shut the door to people seeking protection and send them back to harm without due process, is beyond disappointing, it is devastating. /1

Policy Advocate @KarenESullivan: “Demand for quality, affordable immigration legal services is rising and will skyrocket if we see a largescale legalization program. However the R&A program is not prepared to help legal services organizations to expand capacity.”

@CLINICexec Anna Gallagher: “Ensuring access to affordable legal representation reflects our values as Catholics and as Americans, as every person deserves a fair opportunity to fully understand and present their case, no matter their immigration or socioeconomic status.”

[CLINIC @cliniclegal]

The DOJ Recognition and Accreditation program helps to ensure access to counsel regardless of immigration or socioeconomic status. Immigrants with legal counsel are 1,100% more likely to succeed in their cases. #AccessToCounsel is necessary to achieve #AccesstoJustice.

#NEW report from @cliniclegal finds the @TheJusticeDept program that provides credentials to immigration advocates is at a virtual standstill, leaving low-income immigrants without legal representation in life-or-death matters. #AccessToCounsel #DueProcess4All
