This is alarming! The Trump administration is politicizing the education of young children. We all know the established fact that English Only programs for our young children are ineffective.
Head Start is the largest U.S. investment in early childhood education
A Trump administration proposed rule would strip 1,400+ standards from the program & add an English-only instruction mandate that could hurt the 1 in 3 preschoolers who are Dual Language Learners
Unaccompanied kids now spend over six months in ORR custody, up from a month. Advocates found something that works: habeas petitions.

Immigration attorneys, the Children's Due Process Project matches kids stuck in ORR custody with pro bono counsel who can file habeas petitions. There are still more children than attorneys.

An anonymous DHS whistleblower revealed that DHS officers were directed to illegally access sensitive voter data.
They’ve disclosed that known U.S. citizens are being swept up into the initiative, based on faulty and rushed data that DHS compiled using “supplemental magic.”
I’m doing everything in my power to stop this.

Civil rights groups are demanding answers after a man from El Salvador died in ICE custody over the weekend.
Activists joined the family of Edwin Lopez-Cornejo on Tuesday and called for an independent investigation. His 12-year-old daughter, Ashley Cornejo, fought back tears as she spoke about the loss of her father.
"We're both dead, but the only difference is that his heart stopped beating. And I'm going to grow up without a father," she said.
Federal officials say Lopez-Cornejo, 41, died following a medical emergency, though no official cause of death has been released. It marks the second death in less than a year at Delaney Hall, the Newark, New Jersey, detention center that has seen months of protests over its treatment of detainees.
Texas private school vouchers latest: White Texans made up greatest share of applicants (45%) and recipients - 41% -just like we predicted. https://t.co/9rNgoRPkUY via @houstonchron
There are 2 statements by the Harris County District Attorney @SeanTeareHCDAO on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo case that you should hear for yourself:
1: About how his investigators are trying to identify the ICE agents. (He says it’s been 6 days and the federal government hasn’t shared the identities with his office.)
2: And the answer to my question about the impact of ICE’s tactics on his ability to fight crime. (“We are not able to hold violent criminals accountable as well because of the tactics of ICE. Full stop,” he said.)
We reached out to DHS for comment and have not heard back.

Menos de una semana después del último asesinato, agentes de ICE se han cobrado otra vida, esta vez en Maine
Joan Sebastian Guerrero debería seguir con vida
Exigimos una investigación independiente, imparcial y transparente sobre este asesinato, pero eso no es suficiente
La presencia del ICE en todo EEUU ha sembrado el miedo, ha separado familias y ha arrebatado vidas
Los líderes políticos deben actuar
Deben exigir #IceOut antes de que otra vida sea arrebatada
