I join my colleagues in calling for answers about the deaths of 8 year old Felipe Alonzo-Gomez and 7 year old Jakelin Caal. CBP and DHS must ensure the health and safety of children at our borders. #JusticeforFelipe #JusticeforJakelin

I always knew my father was a card holding member of Cesar Chavez’s @UFWupdates Union when he was a farm worker in California. Thanks to my cousin I recently learned my grandpa (pictured here) was also too and a Bracero who came to this country from Mexico to work the fields.

Instead of paying for a wall, Congress should pay for doctors and medical facilities to keep children in CBP and ICE custody alive. If you take custody of a child you are responsible for that child.

If all Christians knew about “Posadas” they would understand that the birth of Jesus, the center of Christianity, is essentially about opening our doors to migrants. Here is the song many of us Latinos sing during the Christmas season. (Thread).

Fuck bieng woke if you staying in bed.
Fuck being woke if it's all in your head.
Fuck being woke if you still peddaling a colonized view.
Fuck being woke if you using your intellect to flash brilliance instead of acting twoards resistance.

Good read from @ThePlumLineGS on why Trump's obsession with a wall is mainly to appease white Evangelicals. The last of his base. https://t.co/w1R7RuO16C

Join @JulianCastro as he announces his plans for the 2020 Presidential Election.

It will be a historic day to say the least. 🇺🇸

U.S. Immigration has confirmed that an 8 year old Guatemalan boy has just died in ICE custody. The second child death this month in ICE custody. What a disgrace.
