Urge Congress to act now to protect TPS holders, pass permanent protections that keep families together and allow TPS holders to continue working, caring for their loved ones while contributing to the communities they have called home for years. #SaveTPS#FamiliesBelongTogether
Every child deserves someone in their corner. The Trump administration has withheld $65 million owed to children's lawyers — and their contract expires July 31. Tens of thousands of children will be left to face immigration court alone.
This week, TPS for Haitians is expected to end. No state will feel the impact more than Florida, home to roughly 350,000 -- many of them healthcare workers.
“The workers are suffering, but the patients are going to suffer more.”

Without that protection, many will be deported back to the very violence, trafficking and danger they fled. Tell Congress to protect kids ➡️ https://t.co/XPejbVqfH4
From large cities like Chicago and Las Vegas to small suburbs outside Milwaukee and San Antonio, immigrants have been picked up and detained at courthouses and traffic stops, with daily arrests doubling in the last week of June and continuing to climb. https://t.co/XLU8EbrQk8
NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests.
The WH has wanted more arrests.
The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day — up from 1K earlier this year.
In wake of Sister Letty’s detainment and confiscation of her rosary, Brownsville’s Bishop Flores speaks out: “protocols that make it possible for a religious sister, or anyone, to be detained and handcuffed while peacefully walking to Church on a Sunday morning are wildly disturbing.”
The Supreme Court has allowed TPS for Haitians to end, putting families in Springfield and communities across the country at risk of being sent back to a country in chaos. Congress can and should extend these protections.
Not one penny included in this legislation will help struggling American families with the rising cost of gas, groceries, housing, or health care.
But Republicans were able to scrounge up $70 billion to support the President’s mass deportation campaign that has terrorized communities in Illinois and across the country and targeted immigrants without a criminal record.
It’s a shame that—once again—Senate Republicans have bowed to President Trump rather than help the American people.
DACA recipients follow all the rules and contribute immensely to our country.
Registering every two years.
Paying a fee.
Completing a full background check.
We just voted on *basic protections* for DACA recipients.
But even that was too much for Senate Republicans.
The Senate passed a reconciliation bill that pours billions more dollars into ICE and CBP with zero guardrails or oversight. It moved three years of immigration enforcement funding outside of the normal budgeting process.
If you or someone you know was harmed by a federal immigration officer, there's a legal tool that can help: the Federal Tort Claims Act.
We are proud to join @DemocracyFwd in launching a national initiative to hold federal agents accountable for abuse or misconduct.
A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom.
This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent.
We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.
New: U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas appeared before Congress after he was held twice by immigration agents. Even though his story went viral, and top immigration officials have claimed citizens are not being arrested, he was detained a third time. https://t.co/rWifn2Go2R
Stephanie and Juan did everything they were asked to by our government.
But that didn’t matter. The Trump Administration wrongfully targeted and detained Juan, impacting his entire family.
Pass the Dream Act.
We stand with our Affiliate @LUPE_rgv in their fight for Yenniffer — mother, nurse's assistant and pillar of the community — to be released from immigration detention. Our communities deserve better. https://t.co/NvmgwKJl1J
While all eyes are on Minnesota, ICE raids continue across the country — at job sites, traffic stops, courthouses & more. Fear keeps families from work, school and medical care. We need transparency, oversight and community protections. Congress must act. https://t.co/7LXb0yM9ZE
This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.
They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
