As adults are detained during routine screenings, reunifications have collapsed: HHS released just 118 children last month, down from 5,000+ under Biden. Instead of protection, the Trump admin is pushing vulnerable children deeper into danger.

Here’s what’s happening: • Children have been offered $2,500 to self-deport • DHS is now fining kids $5,000 if they arrived w/out inspection; children in NY, MI, TX & PA have already received this fee • Nearly 3,000 parents, caregivers & sponsors have been arrested this yr

🚨 DHS & ICE are escalating their attacks on unaccompanied children 🚨 These kids flee violence, abuse, trafficking, & extreme poverty yet the Trump admin is targeting them & the families who try to care for them 🧵

Trump has expanded ICE partnerships to 1K+ agreements & is pushing for 1 million deportations a yr Cities are pushing back w/ policies, documentation tools, & community organizing, proving local resistance can still protect imm families 🔗 Read more:

This resistance is spreading:  • Minneapolis banned ICE from using any city-owned property for raids  • Chicago declared city spaces “ICE-Free Zones”  • Newark blocked reopening an ICE jail  • LA County is offering emergency aid to workers afraid to leave home due to raids

Sanctuary Cities 2.0 ✊🏽 Local leaders are finding new, lawful ways to push back against Trump’s mass deportation agenda In New Orleans, where “Operation Catahoula Crunch” is underway, officials say being undocumented is a *CIVIL ISSUE* & they won’t help ICE enforce civil law 🧵

Otherwise, we are doomed to remain on the back-foot seeking to undo the harm done now rather than charting a better course that sees immigrants as the human beings they are.

It is CRUCIAL that we not simply push back against the flagrant xenophobia being propagated but also FIERCELY advocate for a better, more just framework for immigration; one guided by a commitment to dignity and justice ⚖️ ✊🏽

This admin’s racist claims + conspiracy theorizing about Black and brown immigrants only serves to lay the foundation for extremist political + racial violence further endangering those simply trying to live in peace.

In other words, we've long moved beyond incendiary rhetoric and are now seeing the plans behind the vitriol manifest into real world terror.

massive for-profit detention camps, the vicious attacks on political dissent — These are being sold to the American public through manufactured hysteria, fear, and hate with no basis in truth.

Allowing white supremacy to unashamedly dictate immigration policy. Openly racist immigration bans, violent roving patrols of masked deportation forces terrorizing brown communities, dismantling legal pathways for relief, eliminating safety nets for immigrants,

Those scapegoating claims have been debunked, no matter how convenient they are to divisive ops + ruling class expediting bad policy w/ distracting culture wars. The current admin succeeds in normalizing what we’ve warned about:

The truth is, immigration enforcement policy has never been about "reducing crime", "protecting our national security", or "boosting the economy." 🧵

NEW: Another purge of immigration judges just happened, this time in New York City. This latest purge includes one of the smartest people I know, an immigration judge who dutifully served on the bench for 10 years. She was unceremoniously fired in violation of civil service laws.

Businesses are posting “No Federal Agents” signs as tourism, workers, & entire communities brace for impact. 🔗 Read more here:

The operation will be led by Gregory Bovino, known for extreme tactics in Chicago & LA,  including tear gas, pepper balls, & helicopter raids. In New Orleans, families are preparing like it’s a hurricane: stockpiling food, making childcare plans, & avoiding work/public spaces

📢 A Border Patrol–led immigration crackdown is set to hit New Orleans & southeast Louisiana today 📢 Dubbed “Swamp Sweep,” around 250 federal agents aim to arrest 5,000 ppl over the next month 🧵
