Immigration is an American superpower. I delivered my first Ted Talk, sharing my story and the story of this nation’s legacy of welcome. We need to embrace that superpower so that those who want to come here and contribute have a legal pathway to do so.

As I told @AymanM, we’re witnessing the largest “de-documentation” effort in modern US history. That runs contrary to the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support a balanced approach between border security and functional legal immigration pathways.

Nothing could be more at odds with the balanced approach Americans overwhelmingly favor as it relates to border security and legal immigration pathways. Read our full statement here. 5/5.

These changes are designed to place lawful relief further out of reach, to punish poverty, and to deter even the most desperate families from seeking safety. It’s a deliberate effort to turn our humanitarian protections into a pay-to-play system. 4/.

It imposes steep new financial barriers to lawful immigration pathways. It introduces for the first time in US history a fee to apply for asylum protections, raises the cost of applying for an initial work permit to $550, and increases fees for TPS ten-fold, from $50 to $500. 3/.

The bill also denies access to basic assistance, barring lawfully present refugees and asylees from food stamps, Medicaid, and other federal programs. These are not fringe benefits. This is food on the table. This is healthcare for a child recovering from trauma. 2/.

This Senate bill reshapes our immigration system not through reform, but through restriction alone. It devotes unprecedented resources towards a sprawling human incarceration machine, while stripping support from those who followed legal processes to seek safety. 🧵1/

The DOJ is suing EVERY federal judge in Maryland — just for doing their job. In my new @baltimoresun OpEd, I explain why this isn’t just about immigration. It’s about the rule of law. And what’s at stake for all of us. ⤵️.

Finally and importantly, today’s ruling does NOT decide whether President Trump’s executive order itself is constitutional. That is a question that remains before the lower courts, and the struggle to protect this bedrock right will continue. 4/4.

We have already heard concern from families who are unsure whether their U.S.-born children will be recognized as citizens, and who fear what might come next. This fractured approach is unworkable, unjust, and out of step with our values as a nation. 3/.

Birthright citizenship has been settled constitutional law for more than a century. By denying lower courts the ability to enforce that right uniformly, the Court has invited chaos, inequality, and fear. 2/.

Our @GlobalRefuge statement on today's #SCOTUS ruling. Today’s ruling opens the door to a dangerous patchwork of rights in this country, where a child’s citizenship may now depend on the judicial district in which they’re born. 🧵1/.
