UNITED NATIONS INVESTIGATES THE UNITED STATES FOR CONTINUED HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
“They are sending a very dangerous message to other countries: that if you don’t cooperate with UN experts they will just go away."

This is cruelty. “They arrive here without being told that Guatemala is their destination, ... They are asked, ‘Do you want refuge here or do you want to leave?’ And they have literally minutes to decide without knowing anything about what that means.”

This is shameful.

@PBR does propaganda for the US Border Patrol. It's members practically describe their experience as if they were handling yet another animal.

Kids tied to chairs, bags over their heads. Punishment turned to abuse at juvenile facility housing immigrant kids in Virginia.

Kids stripped of their clothes, locked in solitary confinement. Battered by adult staff members. Desperate thoughts of suicide. https://t.co/uyy74d4KDB

This is atrocious.

We need due process in a humane way for all asylum seekers coming to the US.

Immigrant caravan crosses into Mexico, walks along highway toward hundreds of national guardsmen with riot shields and body armor and vans from the National Immigration Institute https://t.co/jcyDD5D3mv

...possibly changing plans at the last moment.

Word is that Guatemala’s Supreme Court has banned the deportation scheme, so we might have caught them having to change course.

We are witnesses. #EndMPP #WitnessAtTheBorder 3/3

...and the other World Atlantic, charter flight companies.And there the planes were. And there the buses were. Perhaps we missed some of them boarding. Another bus, still quite full of people, drove away. One plane, we later learned, was headed to Louisiana...2/3

[Witness At The Border @WitnessBorder]

Brownsville-South Padre Int’l Airport is a major hub in the operation to carry refugees away to Guatemala, we have learned. We went out there yesterday evening, tipped off that there were buses full of likely deportees preparing to board two planes, one Swift Air... 1/3

The caravan in Chiapas moves "forward with hope, with humanity, with a desire for peace, fleeing violence and extreme poverty.

We express our solidarity with all displaced persons and call on everyone to avoid violence or repression."

I just introduced bipartisan legislation to formally end the NSA’s phone surveillance program and overhaul collection of Americans’ private records to protect constitutional rights. Liberty and security aren’t mutually exclusive.

They defeated us, but they didn’t vanquish us. We are stronger today than we ever were, and we are coming again. We are on the main track. We are not after a few pennies more a day this time. We are after the whole works.

[ProPublica @propublica]

For years, @Microsoft has moved billions in profits to Puerto Rico to avoid taxes.

When the IRS pushed it to pay, Microsoft protested that the agency wasn’t being nice.

Then it aggressively fought back in court, lobbied Congress and changed the law. https://t.co/n5SPdOBHOb

RIGHT NOW indigenous youth are blockading the Ministry of Energy and Mines in Victoria BC. We refuse to move until MLA’s meet the demands of Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs. We will do whatever it takes to defend our lands and rights. CGL and RCMP withdraw from Wet’suwet’en lands.
