"Not everyone is qualified for asylum, or cancellation of removal, two common forms of relief requested in immigration court. But everyone deserves a fair and impartial jurist to give them due process through a full and fair hearing." #ThinkImmigration https://t.co/NmzfFQY0jH

The Trump Administration is dismantling the immigration courts brick by brick, further chipping away at due process protections. I join @AILANational in calling to move the immigration court system out of DOJ and into an independent Article I court. https://t.co/u0ekePTiHa

The Administration asked SCOTUS to rewrite over 150 years of birthright citizenship precedent, and the skepticism from the Court was unmistakable. The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: children born in the U.S. are U.S. Citizens regardless of parentage. https://t.co/HJ1MbOPQ2F

We thought our members should be aware of this disturbing incident in which DHS descended on the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture, without warrants or reasons. Thank you @DeliaRamirezIL and other local and state officials for responding. #AILAStandsWithImmigrants

NEW from @AILANational: Reports across the country of people being targeted, arrested, and detained at immigration court. “The courts must be a place where justice is pursued, not perverted,” states AILA President Kelli Stump. https://t.co/qjC0F1cuj5

[AILA Chicago Chapter @AILAchicago]

The President is attempting to vilify immigration lawyers for fulfilling our duty of zealously advocating for our clients. This is an attack on due process & attempt to silence those who work to protect the most vulnerable. NEW from @AILANational:
