When your solution for “fixing the asylum system” is “lock children in jail for an indefinite period of time,” maybe you’re going about things the wrong way.
Individuals in ICE custody don’t have access to a free phone call, which is why @MigrantFreedom created its pro bono hotline.
Now that ICE shut it down, the org is paying for calls until the hotline is restored. Consider donating if you can: https://t.co/jWaP33Gkkm
Today we launched our interactive map of U.S. immigration detention —> https://t.co/mHBbpIsrq9
We invite everyone — lawmakers, journalists, scholars, concerned citizens, etc — to use it as a resource and call to action.
We hope it illustrates why we must be #DONEwithDetention
White male privilege permits you to:

Sen. Joe Manchin has proposed stopping all federal funds that would be used to help the US host the 2026 men's World Cup games until US Soccer agrees to "provide equitable pay" to the men's and women's teams https://t.co/8I3OzjrizI

After I forced myself into a cell w/ women&began speaking to them, one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as “psychological warfare” - waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc.
Tell me what about that is due to a “lack of funding?”
Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities.
It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members Congress.
I brought it up to their superiors. They said “officers are under stress & act out sometimes.” No accountability.
This just broke: a secret Facebook group of 9,500 CBP officers discussed making a GoFundMe for officers to harm myself & Rep. Escobar during our visit to CBP facilities & mocked migrant deaths.
This isn’t about “a few bad eggs.” This is a violent culture. https://t.co/SkFwThHElx
Today we were denied entry into the Homestead Juvenile Detention Facility, a private, for-profit center in Florida where we were told 2,700 children are currently being detained. We need to end detention in this country, and stop playing games with asylum seekers.
VICTORY IN ILLINOIS! Private immigrant prisons & local law enforcement collaboration with ICE is officially prohibited in the state. Congrats to the Campaign for a #WelcomingIL & others who made this victory possible! #CommunitiesNotCages https://t.co/NZnsfTKCSY
@AleLaPlebe Yes, I am tall, thin, and white, and I was at a small protest for a murdered woman here in Querétaro that was completely organized by and mostly full of young brown high school girls. Plz tell me why there was a picture of my hongo ass in the newspaper and none of these girls?!
