Thousands of families were separated under Trump's first term. We meet a father in Guatemala still fighting to reunite with his son years later.

@LatinoUSA @ItsJMartinelli @JusticeInMotion @elfaroenglish @_elfaro_ Be on the lookout next Friday because I’m publishing a second story… this time about a family who was separated during Zero Tolerance, but were reunited, however they were recently deported to Honduras… even though they had legal protection to be in the U.S.

Families once torn apart are being targeted again. Parents who survived the trauma of family separation now face renewed threats as the gov’t defies court orders. We can’t be silent now. #FamiliesBelongTogether Read more from @KQED / @markbetancourt: https://t.co/FqOrRLZ4Kd

Farmworkers are among the most essential yet lowest-paid workers in the U.S. The Trump admin’s new AEWR rule will drive down wages even further. As a @MigrationthtWks member, we call for its immediate reversal. Read #MigrationthatWorks' full statement: https://t.co/WDUskFrxYp

Victory for migrant workers in CA! 🎉 @GavinNewsom signed AB 1362, protecting H-2A farmworkers from fraud, debt, and retaliation by unethical recruiters abroad. A big step toward dignity and justice for the people who feed America. Read our letter: https://t.co/timd7g9WhU

This is a must-read report about much needed H-2B visa reforms that would raise standards for all workers in the U.S. while helping to stop abuse of migrant workers. Congress should act now to protect all workers. #LaborRights #MigrantWorkers #H2BReform

At a State Department panel, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State said "90% of asylum claims are bogus" and urged rewriting refugee protections. This dangerous push misrepresents the Refugee Convention and risks sending people back to danger. Watch: https://t.co/g6K4Ovy1sI

The DOL rescinded the 2024 H-2A rule — rolling back critical safeguards for farmworkers. This move erases protections against wage theft, weakens transportation safety, and lowers housing standards. We call on the DOL to restore and strengthen protections: https://t.co/OjaIJTT6ar

When any worker in the U.S. — regardless of their immigration status — is mistreated, it hurts all U.S. workers. The U.S. government must stop the abuse of #migrant workers by employers. #WorkersRights @nytimes

Every year, tens of thousands of young people are sent on visas to toil as farmworkers, housekeepers and office interns, all in the name of cultural exchange.

A judge blocked the Trump admin from deporting Guatemalan children (many of them Indigenous) without due process. This decision affirms that children’s rights to safety and due process is not optional and must be upheld. via @nytimes / @ZJMontague: https://t.co/68LQqJCuHK

The Trump admin is once again separating families. ICE sent 400+ children to federal shelters since Trump took office, per @washingtonpost / @mariasacchetti. Families belong together. We stand against policies that tear families apart. Read more: https://t.co/kd24Z1FGKe

Thank you to the judge for halting the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia! Disappearing migrants to third countries violates #DueProcess. As Kilmar said, 'I want to thank each and every one of you . . . continue to fight in my name.' #MigrantRights

Today, on #InternationalYouthDay, we honor the rights, voices, and potential of young people around the world. But while we celebrate, we must also confront a harsh reality: far too many migrant children in the U.S. remain unprotected. Learn more: https://t.co/nsZOp3iLMR

Claudia González’s fight for justice continues with a new hearing today. She's long been targeted for defending human rights & standing against corruption in Guatemala. We must ensure her due process rights are respected. Stand with Claudia #LibertadParaClaudia #JusticeForClaudia

Kudos to @SenTimKaine for his commitment to transparency & accountability! He’s demanding that the Trump adm disclose the conditions under which deported migrants are being held. This is an important step to ensure #HumanRights. #Immigration

It’s the latest effort by Democrats in a Republican-led Congress to pull the limited levers available to them to push back on President Donald Trump’s policies and actions.
