"The children are being used as bait" Thousands of kids are stuck in immigration facilities—with no end in sight.

Imagine fleeing danger only to be separated for months from the loved one who could protect you. Now imagine that as a 5-yr-old child.

The Trump admin made sponsorship rules more extreme, making it harder for parents to reunite with their children.

Fighting back against the inhumane and unlawful actions of the administration is a means— a means to protect our communities as best we can— but it is also an end in itself. Fighting back is important in itself, even if you lose. To those fighting—Keep going! You’re doing it!

Disappearing someone does not make them forgotten. We won’t stop our efforts to #BringThemBack. Yesterday, we spoke to Andry Hernández’s mother, the woman he called out for while praying as they forcefully shaved his head. She asked us to keep sharing his story so the world doesn’t forget him.

Join us in Riverside! #MayDay

The Alien Enemies Act was used to round up my parents. Trump is reviving that cruelty People like my family — people who have not been charged with any crime — are again being rounded up without due process.

Thank you, Rep. @marktakano.bsky.social, for your continued fight for our client Andry & others forcefully removed without due process & for standing up against the repetition of this dark chapter in history.

There’s a typo on the downtown Riverside one, it starts at 6, not 8!

What about this one: events.pol-rev.com/events/8350f...

Tonight my daughter said “You know the saying ‘fall down 7 times, stand up 8’? You’d only need to stand up 7 times, though...” She’s right (we counted to double check)! Immigrants and advocates, keep standing up.

(4/4) Thank you for standing with our clients.

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves: ⬇️

@immdef.bsky.social client Andry was disappeared with no due process. The Admin claims to go after the “worst of the worst”—they lie. He has no crim record & was legally seeking asylum when he was shipped to prison in El Sal. No due process means it could literally happen to anyone. #freeandry

#freeandry

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75 percent of them.

The vast majority (75%) of Venezuelan men taken to CECOT had no criminal convictions in the United States or abroad according to @60minutes.bsky.social.

Call your representatives to demand that they speak out to protect due process. #JusticeforAndry #FreeAndry

Our @immdef.bsky.social team has agonized over Andry’s case & how to make sure he is not forgotten as he sits in a prison cell in El Salvador. We are grateful to @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social for shining a light on this injustice & for helping us make sure the world knows who Andry is.

As children are pulled into immigration court, many must fend for themselves Unaccompanied minors face a new reality under the Trump administration as they lose avenues to legal representation and fears grow about expediting removals.

“Without an attorney at their side, we will see many children who fled desperate circumstances, who qualify for legal ways to remain in the United States, needlessly deported," ImmDef Director of Legal Services, @mickeydk.bsky.social , shared w/@latimes.
