@brittny_mejia Who ever thought it was a good idea to characterize the park in this way…Shameful. The park does a lot of positive things for the community as well.

Unless DHS stated they were at the park because of “crime and drugs” than reducing the park like this is unnecessary.

@watson_julie @j_dingdingding your story on Julio César Chávez Jr. incorrectly states he entered “the United States ILLEGALLY.”

I looked up DHS announcement and it states “In August 2023, he entered the country legally with a B2 tourist visa that was valid until February 2024.”

@ABC7 CORRECTION: the protest in koreatown is near the intersection of Beverly and western. NOT Beverly and wilshire—that intersection doesn’t exist.

Jan. 6 comes up and Trump comes back with "on Jan. our borders where secure." This is a masterclass on how to broadcast xenophobic lies any chance you can. #Debates2024

[Jorge Rivas @thisisjorge]

so far #Debates2024 has been an immigrant fear mongering showcase hosted by CNN, with zero corrections from moderators.

Came to the picket line outside the W Hollywood and saw this guy in the blue shorts yell at hotel workers and then throw an egg at one.

Apparently it’s at least the second time someone has thrown something at them today. #SoCalHotelStrike

Baffled to hear @NPRinskeep's two-way fluff with @AmyEPope. Used Trump tape from eight years ago, but failed to mention that Pope engineered the confinement of mothers and babies under Obama. Pope is presented as a kind, understanding hero to migrants. Basically, a fluff piece.

Good reporters elicit good information in interviews. Here, @IAmAmnaNawaz gets Sec Blinken to unwittingly reveal that the US intends to experiment in conflating asylum and guest worker policies in Mexico as part of its overall strategy to externalize US immigration enforcement.

Maria Jose was my client. Her tragic passing highlights how vulnerable transgender immigrants are. Please keep her in your thoughts.

A year ago, I wrote about a 93-year-old woman who fell behind on her property taxes. So the government seized her home, sold it—and *kept the profit.*

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear her case. But there are many stories like hers, and they'll shock you. A thread.

If you want to understand what's happening in Brazil, watch our documentary about Bolsonarismo -- the movement that exists beyond Bolsonaro himself, and which he no longer controls. It's on YouTube here: https://t.co/Lx8q6FKSTo

California — the birthplace of the farm labor movement and counterculture pot — has largely ignored the immigrant workers who grow, harvest and trim America’s weed.

@paigestjohn and I looked at the exploitation of cannabis workers:
