Force-feeding is being increasingly used against people on hunger strike to protest ICE detention conditions.

Read this new article by @guardian about one person who was forcibly fed for months and deals w/ lasting physical and mental trauma: https://t.co/GsNjMMiAB5

Immigration courts should afford due process but a new rule by the Trump administration would make courts more hostile & biased, allowing judges to impose fines only against immigrants & their advocates.

NIJC calls for this rule to be withdrawn. See more:

500 people detained at largest ICE detention center (for which the govt just gave private corp GEO Group $47mil contract) are on hunger strike to protest prolonged detention & filthy conditions. Some detained for months or years awaiting hearings.

A new federal rule lets USCIS send asylum seekers, including kids, directly to immigration court - taking away their right to asylum interviews.

NIJC has sued and submitted a public comment to immediately withdraw the rule. See more: https://t.co/u5J0VOuOdE

#Break | Cinco recomendaciones del National Immigrant Justice Center: plan de seguridad, calma ante agentes, verificación en paradas de tráfico, no abrir sin orden judicial y buscar un lugar seguro ante operativos.

Información esencial para actuar con claridad y protegerse.

ICYMI: the court records show more than ICE's announcement did. Before ICE arrested Julian Curo-Churata in Maryland on June 27, he had an asylum application in immigration court and had shown up for his June hearing.

🏛️ Thanks to the @HispanicCaucus and @CAPAC as they lead members of Congress in opposing an interim rule letting USCIS refer certain asylum cases to immigration court w/o even interviewing the person seeking protection.

Kansas City’s immigration court backlog has topped 49K cases, making it a hub for fast-tracked "mega master" hearings- a trend we've seen in Chicago for months. @KCStar follows sisters leading volunteer court watchers to hold the system accountable: https://t.co/zyJVg7D1x2

All over the United States, people are enduring inhumane detention conditions in facilities funded by YOUR tax dollars.
@ackocher made an interactive map documenting the dozens of deaths in ICE custody since 2018.

Yesterday, I joined @SenatorDurbin and @NIJC to observe hearings at the Chicago Immigration Court.

What we saw was a mockery of justice. Children are being deported WITHOUT their parents.

We’re not going to let them get away with this.

[National Immigrant Justice Center @NIJC]

@SenatorDurbin & other officials joined NIJC & partners to sound the alarm on due process violations targeting kids at immigration court. The Trump admin is fast-tracking deportations by gutting legal counsel & expediting court proceedings. Learn more: https://t.co/2P4S2mmCRs

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

I will continue to work with @NIJC and @ChildrenLglCntr to end this Administration's disgusting attacks on children and relegate their actions to the dustbin of history where they belong.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Today, I attended a "mega master" immigration court hearing in Chicago—the latest ploy in Trump's cruel deportation campaign that has sown fear into our communities & derailed due process.

The cruelty this Admin has inflicted on immigrants, especially children, is unfathomable.

Amid relentless attacks on due process—ramped-up immigration enforcement, and inhumane and indefinite detention—immigrant communities are being forced through an unjust immigration system without a fair chance to defend themselves.
