📢 Join us Nov 14 for an @ICMPD webinar! I’ll unpack how CBP One’s opaque systems fuel exploitative economies within digital migration tools. If we’re going to use digital governance, let’s build tools that work transparently and uphold migrant rights.

Review by @FalloneAndrew says “Border Abolitionism” by @smartitaz is a durable resource for scholars & "those who wish to understand the long genealogies of contemporary movements advancing the rights of people on the move.”

This is shocking even by the hypocritical standards of the #EU. This blatant denial enables further crimes against humanity to occur with total impunity in #Libya. The #FFM’s findings must be taken seriously. For more legal analysis on this read our report https://t.co/Ls5bhPonEd

I look forward to giving a public lecture with @amnesty in Ely tonight explaining the outsized role of political framing in determining access to refugee protection, based on discriminatory ideas of 'legitimacy' and 'deservingness.'

I look forward to discussing the fascinating findings of @saswitt's new book 'Unruly Speech: Displacement and the Politics of Transgression' on March 14th with the @Cambridge_Uni Borders, Colonialism, and Migration Group and @CamMigSoc.

📢As @POTUS visit to the #USMXborder is being announced, these are some of the escalating abuses being documented by civil society in #ElPaso, all derived from the continuation of #Title42 restrictions. Thanks @BorderCrim @andriani_fili Mary Bosworth. https://t.co/dPkNg8ICsX

[GE Sanchez (now on Bluesky) @_gesanchez]

This is one of my main concerns when people speak/write about the criminalization of solidarity: how it silences the systematic criminalization of migrants as facilitators of smuggling activities.
