Striking detail via @dmac1: "The high expectations" of execs at GEO Group & Core Civic after Trump's reelection "have soured in recent months, as the Admin has courted start-ups & explored new methods" for immigration jails: https://t.co/VSWLdQuTGT

Trump’s so-called “Gold Card” is a scam. Here’s why:

NEW: Our team @immcouncil just released a major new report on Trump’s first six months. We look at three big immigration questions:

- Who are we allowing into the US and who are we excluding?
- How are we treating the immigrants here?
- Who are we forcing to leave, and how?

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

When Trump pushes illegal and inhumane immigration policies, it’s on us to fight back.

Glad to see @immcouncil filing a lawsuit — and Congress must pass my No Round Up Act to stop Trump’s cruel mass deportations. https://t.co/eEw45YEOVd

A study by the American Immigration Council found that mass deportation could result in the removal of millions of construction, hospitality, and agriculture workers—reducing the GDP by $1.7 trillion. https://t.co/Ipo5GSwqpA

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

@BudgetModel .@immcouncil estimates that a one-time operation to deport the ~11m undocumented immigrants now living in the US would cost at least $315 billion
Would also reduce annual GDP by 4.2%-6.8%. In comparison, the U.S. GDP shrank 4.3% during the Great Recession https://t.co/oZtMEb2Rkq

The truth about FEMA disaster funding as Trump is accusing the Biden administration of doing something his administration did.

BREAKING: A top immigration policy group releases new study on the devastating consequences of mass deportation, reporting a $88 BILLION yearly cost, economic devastation, and thousands of family separations.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

Leading Republicans are proposing a mass deportation regime with a $1 TRILLION price tag over ten years.

There are better ways to support American families with those resources, like constructing 2,900,000 new homes.

RT if you agree.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

As Donald Trump pledges to deport all immigrants within the U.S. without legal status, a new report by the American Immigration Council, finds any mass deportation effort in a one-time operation could cost the federal government at least $315 billion. Adriel D. Orozco, senior policy counsel with the American Immigration Council, joins @majorCBS to explain the findings.

[American Immigration Council @immcouncil]

1/5 🧵 Mass deportation is not just an economic issue; it's a deeply human one. About 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the U.S., contributing $46.8 billion in federal taxes and $29.3 billion in state and local taxes in 2022.

“By building a fairer system that gives people more options to come through legal channels, contribute to our society and grow our economy, we stand to benefit immensely,” @JorgeLoweree writes.

Politicians often say migrants should just get in line and come here "the right way." But for most people, there is no line. Check out this op-ed from @immcouncil's @JorgeLoweree explaining what people miss about our backlogged legal immigration system.

#BREAKING: We’re suing #Iowa for a new law that criminalizes anyone who has reentered the state after being deported— including children— even if that person is now authorized to be in the U.S.

As we hit the second anniversary of the Afghan evacuation, a look at why Congress hasn't passed the bill that would give the ~80,000 Afghans we brought here a way to remain in the U.S. permanently. https://t.co/pjOO5oxArp

I spent the last 2.5 months talking to Afghans across the globe about the fallout from the U.S. evacuation, hearing fears about new lives here or their dire circumstances abroad.🧵

The refrain “We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws” was used to pitch restrictions on asylum from both the left & right last week following the end of Title 42.

Once by DHS Sec. Mayorkas, the other by a GOP lawmaker.

My latest.
