White words on a black background read:
50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.
~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.
~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

"Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then
forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in
the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster. His head
was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons
along the way. By the following day, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia had visible bruises and lumps all over his body.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs
They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.
Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

The immigrants caring for the elderly are losing their jobs
More than 41% of home health aides in the U.S. last year were foreign-born.
Immigration and the care economy are uniquely linked. As I told @emilypeck.bsky.social the relationship between a care worker and the disabled or aging person is the foundation of care. The actions of the administration stoking understandable fear in immigrant communities will impact care.
