And he’s going home because @NorResist is posting his bond. It takes a lot of people and effort to fight the massive immigration incarceration machine. Big thanks to @aaaj_alc @NorResist @CCIJustice for doing the hard work everyday alongside those subjected to this violent system

[Lakin & Wille LLP @lakinwille]

The other had been in immigration incarceration for nearly 2.5 years, separated from his wife and children. Finally he’ll be able to go home because @CCIJustice got him bond. Our immigration system is a violent one that must be dismantled. #freethemall, #endimmigrationdetention.

One was arrested at his home nearly eight years after he was released from criminal custody—ripped apart from his family and community. We, and @aaaj_alc, got a judge to agree that subjecting him to mandatory custody was unconstitutional. 2/3

[Lakin & Wille LLP @lakinwille]

A rare day of good news: two of our clients ordered released from immigration incarceration—both granted bond hearings after we, along with @aaaj_alc, went into federal court and challenged their detention. (1/3)

Ninth Circuit Practicum students notch key victory https://t.co/0Cu0RUPNJ6

Forgot to mention that the fight continues alongside our ally and co-counsel @sfdefender

[Lakin & Wille LLP @lakinwille]

Tough loss this week at the Ninth Circuit: https://t.co/gXFGYUCAD2. But the fight for Justice for Ms. Avilez and others continues—the constitution cannot authorize the detention of immigrants without bond hearings. We will continue the fight to #FreeThemAll

Big win today at the Ninth Circuit in a challenge to DHS’s use of bunk red notices to deny our clients relief! Ninth Circuit: “No, that red notice that is riddled with errors and says nothing does not amount to probable cause”: https://t.co/3iPCC9vrvH

[Lakin & Wille LLP @lakinwille]

This is vile and disgusting. We must stand up against anti-black racism everywhere.

[Detention Watch Network (DWN) @DetentionWatch]

Biden is not “reinventing migrant detention” rather, ICE’s “alternatives to detention” are shamefully detention by another name.

W/o a reduction of people in ICE custody, the permanent closure of facilities & cuts to ICE’s budget, the admin's forthcoming memo will ring hollow.

[Mano Raju 力儲文 @ManoRajuPD]

This groundbreaking settlement is the product of tremendous bravery and perseverance from everyone involved, especially those trapped inside ICE facilities. https://t.co/ax79EEJRUA via @sfdefender @ACLU_NorCal @ACLU_SoCal @lccrsf @CooleyLLP @lakinwille

Please share this quote from my father through #MLKDay2022:

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”

[Asian Law Caucus @AsianLawCaucus]

NEW: We’re suing ICE for the unlawful arrest of Brian Bukle, a Black resident of Riverside County who has been a citizen for 50+ yrs.

The lawsuit underscores ICE's systematic violations of ppl’s constitutional rights & the urgent need for the #VISIONAct.

Being consoled and reassured by a client that whatever happens, we tried our best, is extremely humbling. If only those trying to deport him had a fraction of this humanity.

[Lakin & Wille LLP @lakinwille]

Humbled to be a part of this lawsuit on behalf of asylum seekers who are unjustly suffering from a ridiculous bureaucracy that doesn’t function and doesn’t prioritize the people it is set up to serve.

[American Immigration Council @immcouncil]

We've sued. ➡️

The Council and @asylumadvocacy sued @USCIS for failing to timely renew work authorizations for asylum seekers—who depend on this documentation to support themselves and their families. https://t.co/RGGU3f8SsV

The Biden administration promised just $5.5 million in aid to Haiti for the people it was paying a private prison company $15 million to deport.
