NEW: A migrant child died Wednesday while in custody at a government-sponsored shelter in Florida. This kind of death is exceedingly rare and is the second known death of a child in an ORR shelter, ever. The first was under Trump. Now, it's under Biden.

Of all of the amazing things that have happened over the last few weeks, nothing has been as great as being able to share this day in D.C. with my family. I couldn’t have gotten this far without them♥️

The Biden Administration plans to continue building pieces of the physical border wall along the border in Arizona and California—news that has already mobilized community groups in opposition. https://t.co/2RLks3lPCQ

For more context, read @reichlinmelnick’s breakdown of why plans for wall construction to “close the gaps” near Yuma are both cruel and futile 👇 https://t.co/kgH54YAoxw

[UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy @UCLA_CILP]

The Administration must cease border wall construction immediately. *And* it must take all steps available to it to dismantle the invisible wall as well.

[UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy @UCLA_CILP]

Together, these walls—the physical structure and the one imposed by exclusionary border policies—are deadly.

With no viable pathways towards safety and stability in the United States, people are forced into impossible decisions.
