NEW, IMPT & very cruel and tragic news:
USCIS/DHS just posted that TPS for Haiti, Syria & Yemen terminated, so ~350,000 individuals will lose their deportation protections and their work authorization is immediately invalidated, barring immediate court reversal... 1/2
Congress must act immediately to protect our neighbors and pass the Dream and Promise Act to secure a pathway to citizenship for TPS holders and Dreamers.

🚨Breaking: Today’s decision to terminate TPS for Haiti, Syria, and Yemen will be devastating to families, communities, and our economy. This cruel move will cause immense human and economic harm.
Read our statement from @FWDus President @TheToddSchulte
Today, Senator @ChrisVanHollen called up the SECURE Act on the Senate floor, which would provide a pathway to lawful permanent residency for TPS holders.
Thank you, Senator, for your advocacy. This comes at a crucial time when TPS holders are losing status and are at risk of deportation.
Since 2020, the Alabama DOC has spent more than $68M defending itself in litigation. See @ALReporter coverage of #TheAlabamaSolution brief exposing how the department defends excessive force instead of stopping it https://t.co/TTyXJL4nBm
Congress can protect TPS holders by passing the Dream and Promise Act, which would provide TPS holders with a pathway to citizenship.

ICYMI from Indiana Public Media @inpubmedialive: About 7K TPS holders in Indiana face uncertainty in light of the recent SCOTUS decision allowing the admin to terminate TPS for Haiti and Syria.
Not only will they lose their work authorization and be unable to support themselves, but employers will also lose workers who fill critical positions.
Congress can protect TPS holders by passing the Dream and Promise Act, which would provide TPS holders with a pathway to citizenship.

New cruel tactics reveal the same results we’ve seen for years in the criminal justice system: deterrence doesn’t work, and it carries a deep human toll along the way.
The US military has killed 200+ people in ongoing boat strikes across the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean, allegedly targeting the flow of drugs into the country, but the DEA now admits the killings have failed to change the price, supply, or purity of cocaine in the US.
Thank you, @JoaquinCastrotx, for your leadership to end this cruelty and to all of the MOCs and advocates who continue to use their voice to call for Dilley’s closure and to fight for the families facing the horrors of this Administration’s immigration enforcement.
Dilley Detention Center imprisons children and families. There have been multiple reports of inadequate medical care, unsafe conditions, and restrictions on communication. Dilley must shut down.
Families don’t belong in detention. @FWDus President, @TheToddSchulte discusses the harm of family detention and the horrible conditions that exist at Dilley and in detention centers around the country.
I visited the Dilley detention facility for an oversight visit back in May, and what I saw was disturbing.
These are human beings. They deserve dignity, due process, and basic humanity.
What’s happening inside this facility is unacceptable.
I’m calling on Trump to #ShutDownDilley and release these children immediately. @JoaquinCastrotx@FWDus
I just arrived in Texas for a congressional oversight visit led by @DemWomenCaucus and @JoaquinCastrotx.
Tomorrow, we’re heading to the Dilley ICE detention center—the nation’s only dedicated family immigration detention center.
