Americans are experiencing immigration issues as sacred values, or moral imperatives that cannot be easily traded off. Our new report examines how these values turned immigration from a mundane policy issue into the hotly debated topic it is today. bit.ly/3bhgu1x


No one better than @MichelleBrane to lead this important effort!

NEW: Biden admin to name refugee advocate @MichelleBrane of @wrcommission director of task force to reunite separated families, say sources. "If selected, Michelle would be a fantastic choice," said @ACLU’s @leegelernt With @JuliaEAinsley + @GeoffRBennettnbcnews.com/politics/immig…

Biden's new immigration executive orders will: 1. Create a family reunification task force. 2. Begin to lift restrictions on asylum at the border. 3. Repair the legal immigration system. bit.ly/3oKLZFQ

Just in: DHS says it encourages all individuals, regardless of immigration status, to get the Covid-19 vaccine and notes ICE and CBP "will not conduct enforcement operations at or near vaccine distribution sites or clinics."

So nice to see a return to sound, protection-oriented decision-making. Extending Temporary Protected Status for Syria is critical, but redesignating it too expands those protections to all Syrians already in the U.S. who risk the same harm if returned. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHS…


Immigrants show up for their immigration court hearings. The data in this new report makes this fact clear. Legal counsel and strong orientations to the system are critical, but the use of detention to make people appear is not.

83% of nondetained immigrants with completed or pending removal cases attended all their hearings from 2008-2018. This report presents key findings from a recent study of the rate at which immigrants appear for hearings in U.S. immigration court. bit.ly/2Yq1BE6

The secretive Electronic Nationality Verification program has been used by @DHSgov since 2019 to speed up deportations of Hondurans, Guatemalans, and Salvadorans. Here are the documents we obtained through FOIA that reveal how this program works. bit.ly/39rKPLb

BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s pause on deportations, delivering a blow to one of the administration’s first immigration actions. Story tk.

The GAO report confirms that CBP held people for over 7 days in 80% of all cases under PACR and HARP. Conditions in these “iceboxes” are terrible, as families are often forced to sleep on cold concrete floors and may go days without showers or a hot meal. bit.ly/3sXxvG0

Every undocumented immigrant was a priority for deportation under the Trump administration. This included families, long-time residents, and Dreamers. It devastated communities. President Biden just announced he will revoke that executive order. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

There are still more than 15,000 people in ICE detention—despite the severe danger to COVID-19 they face. The Biden administration’s 100-day deportation moratorium is urgently needed. During that period, @ICEgov should safely release as many people as possible.

BREAKING: DHS announces deportation moratorium — it begins on Friday.

Deferred Enforced Departure is being extended for thousands of Liberians who have lived in the U.S. for many years. This gives people more time to apply for citizenship under a December 2019 law without risk of deportation.

Here's the memo on DED for Liberians:

Watching inspirational and heartwarming inauguration programming while reading great executive orders on immigration is my new happy place.

Since 2017, the travel ban has torn apart thousands of immigrant families from 10+ Muslim-majority countries. Reversing this unjust and unnecessary ban means families will no longer be kept from reuniting. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Q: Why did President Biden propose a path to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants in the United States? A: Because there is no line to obtain citizenship for the millions who are a part of our communities. bit.ly/2aWznf5

If we want to rebuild America’s immigration system into one that is welcoming, our work must go beyond the courts and Capitol Hill. We must change the divisive rhetoric that dominates the immigration debate. #BelongingBeginsWithUs

We’ve all experienced moments when we felt like we didn’t belong. For people who moved here from another country, that feeling can last more than a moment. Together, we can change that. #BelongingBeginsWithUs. Visit BelongingBeginsWithUs.org to get started.



It's high time for a generous and visionary legalization bill like we will see today.

Over 2 decades, Congress authorized $333 billion on immigration enforcement. Over the same time, Congress did not pass a reform bill for 11 million undocumented immigrants. It's time to send a bill to Congress that focuses on immigrants—not enforcement. time.com/5930687/us-imm…
