Thank you @SenWarren. NIJC is proud to stand with you to protect asylum seekers and immigrant communities.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Republican demands are so extreme that if passed they would be the most severe immigration restriction since the 1920s racial quota laws. Mass deportations & gutting the asylum system not only betray our values, but create more chaos at the border. This is the wrong direction.

@nayna_gupta @VP Congratulations! Your mom has raised an amazing daughter who advocates for justice for all, particularly immigrants. I am honored to work with her at NIJC! I look forward to meeting your mom.

Congratulations to this woman from Central America & her children on their big asylum win! We're happy to see them move forward with their lives, free from harm & the threat of deportation. They're pictured here with their NIJC legal team Andrea, Brittany, and Lisa! 🎉

When @DHSgov started forcing asylum seekers through rushed processing in CBP custody they promised there would at least be access to counsel. There isn't, and the admin never intended there to be. This AM from the AP @elliotspagat: https://t.co/VpLuGGde7c

Honored to be part of this delegation calling for the end of the asylum ban, which violates U.S. and international law.

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

.@NIJC ED @NIJCmccarthy & I are in Brownsville after witnessing the new asylum ban in effect for people in Matamoros waiting - but still unable - to ask for asylum, a right guaranteed them by US law. We saw the dangers & anti-Black racism they endure. The US must rescind the ban.

[Mary M. McCarthy @NIJCmccarthy]

@19grand @USEnvoyNI This is great news.

[National Immigrant Justice Center @NIJC]

Thank you for your support! You have defended and brought hope to thousands of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. As you celebrate, we wish you happy holidays and a wonderful new year!

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

Justice Sotomayor reminds us SCOTUS has found in a "legion" of cases that DHS has broad discretion to decide whether to begin or continue removal cases. Provisions of law that say DHS "shall" take custody don't interfere w/ that. @NIJC amicus on this 👇 3/ https://t.co/7PQ4SZLMxJ

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

This AM: SCOTUS arguments in US v TX. Q = can DHS exercise prosecutorial discretion? To kick off this thread - from @NIJC archives, an evidence-based description of why La and Tx's standing argument (that immigrants harm communities) is racist (& hogwash). https://t.co/pMxDS9DkhJ

@KatieConboyPhD @siobhan_ogrady @washingtonpost Congratulations!

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

We are grateful to @JoaquinCastrotx who sponsors this briefing. Congressman Castro is leading advocacy urging the Biden administration to immediately investigate and remedy the pervasive abuses facing those in ICE detention with mental illness. We urge other Members to join him.

@JuliaNeusner Shameful. What has happened to our country?

[Eleanor Acer @AcereEleanor]

Powerful & inspiring. @AmericaFerrera & @sunny on the right to seek asylum & how @POTUS must #EndMPP & #EndTitle42:

➡️This is about who we are as a country
➡️You can't make an inhumane policy humane"
➡️Don't send people back to a country where they are going to be persecuted

We cannot forget the harrowing circumstances that mothers, fathers, and children suffered under Trump family separation policies. NIJC responds to @POTUS comments on settlement negotiations for victims of family separation: https://t.co/mow1rReyof

This month we represented a permanent resident named Teddy Birhanu in petitioning SCOTUS for a review of rules that led to his deportation to Ethiopia after he was arrested while in a mental health crisis. Lawyer Keren Zwick shares his story here: https://t.co/MiyrcI2O66 1/
