Arizona Must Resist the Supreme Court’s Immigration Ruling I was 16 when Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 in 2010. I remember the fear in our communities. I remember the silence in neighborhoods, the way people stopped gathering at the park, the wa...

Arizona Must Resist the Supreme Court’s Immigration Ruling
We’ve lived through SB 1070 before and we know the damage it brings

Thank you to @belensisa.bsky.social for sending over her latest words in a new opinion piece for @thelatinonewsletter.org

Every day Xóchitl, a DACA recipient and community organizer, spends in detention is time she’ll never get back with her family.

She deserves freedom, dignity, and the right to stay in the only home she’s ever known.

I don’t think people realize what it means as an immigrant to watch the community in LA fight to protect their neighbors.

For decades, we have been demonized, criminalized and dehumanized. Feeling like we have no one on our side. Thank you, LA for seeing us & doing something.

Door knocks and DNA tests: How the Trump administration plans to keep tabs on 450,000 migrant kids President Donald Trump's administration is conducting a massive, multi-agency review of 450,000 migrant children who crossed the U.S.

“Now you have a situation where the government is checking on the wellness of children and encountering their undocumented parents and deporting their parents. I don’t know what about that is good for children.”

Our Policy & Legislative Affairs Director Mary Miller Flowers on @apnews.com

Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in state, fed, & local taxes in 2022.

And we still pay a higher income tax rate than Trump and his billionaire cronies. Don’t let propaganda turn you against immigrants, turn your anger towards those at the top&their greed. It’s past time to TAX THE RICH.

FYI Deporting a 10-year old child recovering from a brain tumor & her undocumented parents is not making our country safer. More from @theyoungcenter.bsky.social below 👇

I hope the Trump supporters are ready to roll up their sleeves with all these jobs they wanted so badly

🧵Usually if you’re on this website it means you have a case pending or are in the process of applying to adjust your status. This proves once again it’s not about “waiting in line” or “doing it the right way”. They want even those going through the legal process to self deport.

🧵Just checked my account on the official USCIS website and see this

I say this not to wallow, but to acknowledge that we are grieving together & from grief comes power & hope even if it doesn’t feel like it most times. What’s happening right now is not normal.

Sometimes its difficult to turn on the news or even experience the world without the constant feeling of heartache and sorrow for:

- our children, yes even immigrant & trans kids
- our beautiful Mother Earth
- the wild life & animals who call it home
- a future where we all thrive & are somebodies

News flash: democracy isn’t only about getting people elected. It’s also about keeping them accountable to those who helped put them there - US.

Krysten Sinema was the example of what the people of AZ are capable of. Kelly & Gallego shouldn’t forget about that. 🤨

Snitching on people to ICE is such a bitch move.

I look forward to the day when I no longer have to speak or read President Cheetos name.

Shout out to my comms and pr people today and in the next four.

Today it’s us, immigrants. Tomorrow it will be you too.

What is Trump trying to achieve by authorizing immigration raids on school campuses? Who is he trying to arrest at a school?

I’ve said it many times, but I’ll say it again: when Trump talks about “criminals” he means all immigrants. There is no good or bad one to him.

Your support this #GivingTuesday is vital towards ensuring that all children are reunited with their loved ones, no matter what side of the border they choose.

Help us raise $65,000.00 by midnight today.
