"As we celebrate the Supreme Court upholding the constitutional right to birthright citizenship, our hearts are with the TPS holders facing the imminent loss of their right to live and work in the United States as a result of the Court's decision last week. Many have children born in the U.S.--whose rights to citizenship have been upheld today--and face potential family separation unless Congress acts now." - Ghita Schwarz, IRAP Senior Director of U.S. Litigation
"Today’s decision is catastrophic for Syrian and Haitian TPS holders, the country, and the rule of law. Congress must act swiftly to restore TPS protections before this decision endangers 1.3 million of our neighbors.” - Lupe Aguirre, IRAP

"He was out there somewhere, forsaken in the city where he had sought sanctuary. His damaged eyes blurring the foreign world around him, he was lost in the snow-caked Buffalo sprawl, underfed, underdressed, speaking a language few understood."
A half-blind refugee is left in a parking lot by Border Patrol agents who mistakenly had detained him. For six days, his family searched the cold streets of Buffalo.
