Four expulsion flights are being sent to Haiti right now. Three more are scheduled to go out today. As the world watches the mass expulsion & racist treatment of Haitian migrants seeking safety, @POTUS and @VP continues to stand on the wrong side of history. We will not forget.

Reminder: Members of the NYU community who have legal concerns related to their immigration status can contact the NYU Immigrant Defense Initiative (@NYU_IDI), a project of @NYULaw's Immigrant Rights Clinic.

Email [email protected] if you have questions on your DACA and the recent developments

[NYU Immigrant Defense Initiative @NYU_IDI]

Judge Hanen's decision to block DACA today means Congress must act. DACA was always a stopgap measure. Today's decision shows how incredibly urgent it is for the Dems to legalize the undocumented population. As the President noted "the world is watching."

Javier, his family, community, organizers, lawyers- @unlocal @MaketheRoadNY IRC @nyulaw-had to join forces to prevent this injustice. The Feb 18 interim guidance is meaningless if local ICE offices can still do whatever they want. Bolder change is needed. https://t.co/h7V1a128zt

On February 2, 2021, President Biden issued three immigration-related executive orders. Here's what they do:

Reminder: Although Biden has proposed comprehensive immigration reform legislation, Congress has not passed the bill. Please do not hire anyone who says they can help you get legal status/citizenship under Biden's bill.

Bad news. A federal judge in Texas issued a temporary restraining order blocking Biden's 100-day moratorium on deportations: https://t.co/xv9WPkIvQU

What you need to know about Biden's 100-day Moratorium on Deportations

[NYU Immigrant Defense Initiative @NYU_IDI]

A lot of positive changes happened last week when Biden took office. Here are some of the executive actions Biden has taken so far.

[Alina Das @Das_Alina]

We join 200+ organizations to call on the Biden administration to release people in ICE custody amid the pandemic; enact moratoriums on all enforcement actions, deportations, & transfers. #FreeThemAll https://t.co/EDn1pkokgZ .@POTUS @VP @AmbassadorRice @AliMayorkas @JeffZients

Our reaction to the Biden administration's deportation moratorium and priorities memo: "No human being is disposable."

Full statement ⬇️

[NYU Immigrant Defense Initiative @NYU_IDI]

The administration, however, cannot just pay lip service towards recognizing the dignity of noncitizens but must implement policies that immediately end deportation and detention, while also providing a swift pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

[NYU Immigrant Defense Initiative @NYU_IDI]

Biden's proposed immigration bill would replace replace the term "alien" from U.S. immigration laws with "noncitizen." Language is often a prime vehicle to justify violence and we welcome the step towards recognizing the inherent dignity of noncitizens https://t.co/bADb33FUb0
