For @just_security, our own @akilaGJC and @Grant_GJC dug deep into a root cause of the coup in #Myanmar: impunity.

BREAKING: The #GlobalGagRule is once again repealed, ending a deadly violation of our human right to abortion care.

The Biden administration took a critical step today, but they did not go far enough. This must only be the beginning.

ICYMI: After a long multi-year legal battle, a series of court orders has made it clear that teenagers who are undocumented or seeking asylum in the U.S. MUST have access to abortion care while being held in custody. Read more via @buzzfeednews. https://t.co/vx8FnZa5Be.

Immigration detention can have life-or-death consequences, esp. amid the #COVID19 pandemic. As the federal gov't prepares to once again ramp up enforcement in our communities, it risks contributing to the growing humanitarian crisis in detention centers. https://t.co/5k9rVxfhl3

[Amol Sinha @AmolSinha]

This is a big deal. When @GovMurphy signs this bill into law, we will be the first state to enact legislation like this. So proud of all my @ACLUNJ colleagues along with @SandSJ_NJ @NJ_CAIC and all the directly impacted families who made this happen. https://t.co/EuOtbpC3ZA

Check out this important piece from GJC legal intern Sarah Coniglio about a @IntlCrimCourt case that all advocates for gender equality should be keeping an eye on. https://t.co/0R6cMGTRQs

[TRAC Reports @TRACReports]

"Immigration courts that have long faced backlogs are even harder hit by COVID-19 pandemic closures. Research group Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, estimates at least 368,000 hearings nationwide had been delayed by the end of May."

Leaving the world's foremost public health organization in the middle of a pandemic to shift blame for its own failures says everything about the priorities of the Trump administration.

[TRAC Reports @TRACReports]

Despite TRAC's appeals to the EOIR, Immigration Court records continue to disappear each month.

In the middle of a global pandemic, several state governments in the US are moving to restrict reproductive healthcare.

Along with @genderhealth, we're in @CNN with a urgent message:

Abortion is essential healthcare. Abortion is a human right. https://t.co/FG2clTTAU8
