Pretty consistent message coming from immigrant advocates tonight on Biden's speech:

[Jon Gould @gouldjonb]

Meet the newest - and sleepiest - member of the research team, daughter of @rachelannbowman and Greg Koop. I've worked with Rachel since we were both at @AU_SPA. She'll be entering the faculty job market soon from @ASUCrimJustice and should be at the top of everyone's list.

Another Trump anti-asylum policy that Biden condemned, ended, and is now reportedly planning to revive. This one is vicious - a plan to force asylum seekers through rushed processing that can end in deportation w/in 72 hours, all in CBP jail. https://t.co/v0Y8EKt86U

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

Happening now: Members of Congress in front of the Capitol urging the President to respect the right to asylum and reject, not embrace, Trump-era asylum bans.

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

This memo is frightening; an affront to those who will be harmed by these new policies. The Biden admin is deflecting & now issuing its own half-truths and misrepresentations to respond to legitimate criticisms of its extremist border policies. Some actual facts: 1/🧵

Happy holidays and happy new year from NIJC's Indiana team!

[National Immigrant Justice Center @NIJC]

Days before their finals, these @NDLaw students spent the afternoon running a green card application clinic for 7 NIJC clients who won asylum last year. We are pleased to be able to support our wonderful clients and grateful for law students who make this possible!

[Heidi Altman @heidiraltman]

This AM: SCOTUS arguments in US v TX. Q = can DHS exercise prosecutorial discretion? To kick off this thread - from @NIJC archives, an evidence-based description of why La and Tx's standing argument (that immigrants harm communities) is racist (& hogwash). https://t.co/pMxDS9DkhJ

Eli Lilly and Co.—among Indiana’s largest employers—on the state’s new near-total abortion ban: “Given this new law, we will be forced to plan for more employment growth outside our home state.”

Last week, NIJC attorney Colleen Kilbride traveled to Laredo, TX to represent a Central American woman seeking asylum under Remain in Mexico (MPP)- one of the very few people to have a lawyer in their MPP proceedings. Here’s what she experienced. THREAD https://t.co/WML1TKd9WO

“It’s someone’s life and it’s just a privilege and honor to help someone gain this basic right they need.”

ND Law students spoke with the @Indiana_Lawyer about winning asylum cases through the Law School’s @NIJC externship.
