Children do not belong in detention. They belong with their families, in their communities, and free. Thank you to the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for exposing the conditions facing children and families at Dilley. #EndFamilyDetention #ShutDownDilley

This week, @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social also released its new public interactive dashboard, offering a dynamic view of ICE Air flights in order to strengthen accountability, transparency, and to support advocates and attorneys in defending human rights.

On June 4, 2026, removal flights on U.S. military aircrafts resumed after pausing in September 2025. The Trump administration had previously used U.S. military planes to carry out a total of 88 removal flights between January and September 2025.

There has been a continued escalation of forced third country transfers with a first-time flight to the Central African Republic (CAR), and repeated flights to Costa Rica, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Honduras, Moldova, Panama, Paraguay, and Sierra Leone.

In June, IFM tracked 1,148 flights between U.S. detention centers, known as "shuffle flights." These flights have dramatically increased as part of the administration's cruel mass deportation and detention agenda.

@iceflightmonitor.bsky.social tracked 288 removal flights to 36 countries in June, with a spike in removal flights to Mexico over recent months, amidst a pause on land deportations. This reflects a dramatic shift in the mode of removal from land to air.

This week, ICE Flight Monitor @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social released its June 2026 report, delivering data to shine a light on the abuses of the Trump administration's cruel and lawless detention and deportation campaign.

Bahrain’s authorities are brutally cracking down on the Shia majority, reviving 2011 repression methods: mass arrests, enforced disappearances, citizenship revocations, & custodial torture. @suchitauppal.bsky.social @dooleydooley.bsky.social

Yesterday's House Judiciary Committee hearing was political theater meant to discredit the @splcenter.org & undermine the civil rights movement as a whole. @civilrightsorg.bsky.social We must stand together against this attack on our civil rights & demand an end to political retribution.

From our latest ICE Flight Monitor report, US immigration enforcement flights reached a record high of 1,794—a 122% jump from March '25. People are being shuffled between detention centers, separated from loved ones & legal counsel, deported to danger & sent to unfamiliar places without due process.

Human Rights First's @dooleydooley.bsky.social spent the night outside the #Bahrain embassy in London to mark the 15th anniversary of the arrest of Danish-Bahraini Human Rights Defender Abdulhadi Al Khawaja, who remains wrongfully imprisoned. @maryamalkhawaja.bsky.social

We joined 200+ organizations & experts in condemning President Trump’s threats against Iran. Congress must act urgently to end this conflict & prevent the commission of grave crimes. U.S. officers & servicemembers must refuse unlawful orders. Read the letter: humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/u...

A new report by Human Rights First & @raicestexas.bsky.social exposes how families are imprisoned, threatened with separation, & denied basic rights at the reopened Dilley Processing Center. There is no safe or rights-respecting way to detain families. We need to end family detention, permanently.

This week, the Supreme Court heard Noem v. @alotrolado-org.bsky.social, a case with major implications for #asylum. Our CEO @uzraz.bsky.social gathered with faith leaders and immigrant rights advocates at the Court, declaring, “no turning back” on the right to seek safety.

The only ICE we should be paying for is in our coffee, not in systems that harm. Tell Congress to stop funding harm and start investing in communities. Take action: bit.ly/ICEOut4Good

The SAVE Act would create new barriers to voter registration & undermine access to the ballot. It doesn’t protect elections. It targets historically marginalized communities and silences eligible voters. The bill has passed the House. Urge your Senators to oppose it: win.newmode.net/declarationf...

A broad coalition of multi-issue progressive orgs, from immigration advocates to labor unions, are urging Congress to co-sponsor H.R. 7346, the Drain ICE Act and rescind $75B in ICE funding. Reclaim the funds. Invest in working families.
