My recent piece, Manufactured State Immigration Emergencies as State Vigilantism 👇
https://t.co/bemh9C096o

TX & other states declared “emergency” as justification for usurping federal immigration power. Overlooked, norms-shattering legal move long before “invasion.” 🧵:

Among AG Paxton's legal troubles, in 2021 @knightcolumbia & @ACLUTx sued him for violating the First Amendment by blocking Texans who criticized him on Twitter.

As a result, he unblocked all accounts & agreed to stop blocking people

@NCamiloSanchezL Congrats!!! 🎉

Dying in a fire in a migrant detention facility is NOT a “risk of irregular migration.” @StatePRM’s tone deaf tweet is on brand with this administration’s border policies.

Today President Biden is marking the 20th anniversary of the creation of DHS. This is a moment for reckoning and recommitting to reform. Our @ACLU report https://t.co/LquMjANURG

In January, I visited one of world's most dangerous jungles. Nearly 250k migrants passed through this jungle last year in order to reach the US.

I met Mohammad Ahmadi. He had been a colonel in the Afghan Army in charge of elite commando units fighting the Taliban.

Jeff Self, the Border Patrol chief who spearheaded a pilot program to separate migrant families, appears to have been listed online as a fellow at @UTEP according @BobMooreNews, who also reports that the chief's name has been removed from the site.

The CPB was recently covered on Al Jazeera’s program @AJFaultlines, where our team took a closer look at the secretive units operating within the agency.

Watch the short documentary and share your thoughts.

Watch @AJStream at 3pm EST today for my discussion w/ @joshrushing @guerreroandi @ReeceJonesUH about holding Border Patrol accountable!

Also don’t forget that this is not the first time Border Patrol makes weak claims of “rock throwing” to justify excessive use of force.

In 2019: “The AP saw rocks thrown only after U.S. agents fired the tear gas.”

A sophisticated response from @BPUnion …

A federal agent’s ability to “defend themselves” does not include firing pepper bullets across the border at protesters or forcing migrants off US soil without arrest and processing.

This is cruel.

People seeking asylum in the United States must be treated with dignity and respect — not forcefully pushed away. https://t.co/lDDq5XmByy

[Shaw Drake @ShawDrake1]

Border Patrol says our client’s son died after losing control during a chase. Dispatch audio and a witness says Border Patrol clipped the car.

A secretive unit investigated. Will a child’s mother get the truth and justice? Watch @AJFaultLines ⬇️

[Fault Lines @AJFaultLines]

Fault Lines investigates secretive units within the #US #BorderPatrol accused of covering up agent misconduct. At least 145 people have died in deadly pursuits or use-of-force incidents with USBP. No agent has been convicted in those deaths.

CBP detention facilities are not safe for anyone — let alone pregnant, postpartum, or nursing people and their families.

People with reproductive health needs must be released so they can receive the medical care they deserve.https://t.co/fcyOdUBEEK

[Shaw Drake @ShawDrake1]

NEW: We sent a letter with 130 orgs and medical professionals to @CBPChrisMagnus this morning demanding that the agency put its own promise into policy - expedite the release of pregnant, postpartum, and nursing people.

Letter: https://t.co/ygyu1eMDJS

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: We and over 130 organizations and medical professionals are demanding CBP Commissioner Magnus take immediate action to uphold the reproductive rights of migrants.

CBP custody has no adequate reproductive care — pregnant, postpartum, and nursing people must be released.

It's been 3 weeks and 6 victim/witnesses of the #Hudspeth shooting are still in @ICEgov custody. @LasAmericasIAC represents these folks and we call for their immediate release as part of ICE's own victim centered approach. https://t.co/xOZ6b0CQTt
