State open records laws are doing some heavy lifting these days re migrant busing and flights to Martha's Vineyard. We filed a FOIA to find out more about CBP's role.https://t.co/S7nq32JNOI

Documenting a disturbing pattern of racism and violence perpetrated against Black migrants in immigration detention, this major new study illustrates how detention is inherently anti-Black and racist. #AbolishDetention #ImmigrationIsABlackIssue https://t.co/yoxfuteXk4

Immigrants in detention should not have to struggle to talk to their lawyers. The @immcouncil filed a lawsuit today demanding that @ICEgov stop its arbitrary and unconstitutional restrictions on immigrants accessing their attorneys.

#BREAKING: Today, a judge approved our settlement agreement in the Garcia Ramirez lawsuit challenging the unlawful detention of unaccompanied children who turn 18 while in detention. 🧵(1/2) https://t.co/CuZ58CP8sx

Bringing you some transparency to refugee processing! h/t to @MeyerKateNY who has been litigating this FOIA

Leadership from @CAIRCoalition calling for @DOJ_EOIR to improve access to records for immigrants in deportation proceedings. Due process requires immigrants have speedy access their own records held by the government

[Amica Center for Immigrant Rights @AmicaCenter]

Lack of access to immigration court records puts people at risk of wrongful deportation. We call on @DOJ_EOIR to improve records access before more people are wrongfully deported. #EOIR #EOIRDocsAccessNow #ImmigrationJustice

And sued ICE and DHS yesterday demanding they answer for shockingly bad conditions and lack of access to counsel for Haitians detained at Torrance detention facility. https://t.co/AUUTa8j6kt

Excited about new transparency work happening at the Council. Recently filed a lawsuit asking why Afghan humanitarian parole applications miserably delayed at USCIS. @immcouncil @IRAP https://t.co/6mNB2AUSpm

@MatthewHoppock Noooo

[Emily Creighton @emjcreighton]

Time to take a closer look at immigration court hiring practices #sunshineWeek

[American Immigration Council @immcouncil]

Why are Assistant Chief Immigration Judges assigned to certain cases and which immigration courts do they oversee?
-->We filed a FOIA request with @NILC and @ImmLegalDefense to answer these questions. #SunshineWeek https://t.co/3T2rlWF7Bn

[Emily Creighton @emjcreighton]

Suuuuch a satisfying read (not super common in FOIAland)

[Emily Creighton @emjcreighton]

@terraformastdio @Logically_JC Thx for sharing this. Can you link to original video?

[Emily Creighton @emjcreighton]

@MatthewHoppock Problem appears to be widespread and cropping up on various lists

[Greg Siskind @gsiskind]

Data nerds - @uscis held an interesting and somewhat useful listening session this week about its public statistics offerings. The slidedeck has just been posted at https://t.co/jJEQvfrYVZ

[Emily Creighton @emjcreighton]

Determined to hold ICE accountable for mistreatment of Black immigrants in our vast racist detention system. Proud to stand with @BAJItweet and @CardozoLaw in the important effort.

[American Immigration Council @immcouncil]

Physical violence, medical neglect, and overt racism are being perpetrated against Black immigrants in civil detention facilities.

This cannot be tolerated and @ICEgov must be held responsible. https://t.co/taKFCkV3Y1

[American Immigration Council @immcouncil]

We filed a FOIA lawsuit with @BAJItweet and @CardozoLaw to help tell the full story of this ongoing travesty.

@theferocity Same. I left a flag for my dad yesterday at the art installation by the Washington monument. He died a few months before vaccines became available. And the numbers of flags in the wind. It just knocked me down.
