This ruling is a critical step toward ensuring that people detained at Adelanto have access to basic necessities including nutritious food, clean water, adequate medical care, disability accommodations, and protection from retaliation and neglect.
VICTORY: A federal court has ordered immediate improvements to conditions at the Adelanto ICE prison. Over the last year, already inhumane conditions continued to deteriorate. Now, a federal judge has ordered the government to take immediate action to address these systemic failures.
This administration's goal is obvious: strip children of due process and accelerate the deportation pipeline. We won't let that happen and neither should you. Protect legal representation for unaccompanied kids: tinyurl.com/protect-kids
The court already rejected Trump's attempt to eliminate children's legal representation. Now the government is withholding funding making legal representation of kids impossible. The failure to pay for legal representation leaves children alone in immigration court.
No toddler belongs in government custody, they belong in the arms of their family members and sponsors. The federal government must end its attacks on immigrant children and Congress must hold them to account! Protect legal representation for unaccompanied kids: tinyurl.com/protect-kids
No child should grow up in government detention because families belong together. Lawyers are the last line of defense between a child and deportation. Tell Congress to protect children's rights in immigration court: tinyurl.com/protect-kids
You can’t leave a child alone on the street. You can’t leave a child alone at the mall. You can’t leave a child alone at the park. So why is the federal government wanting to leave children alone in immigration court?
Every death involving ICE must trigger an automatic, transparent, independent investigation. This deadly system must end.
ICE is leaving a trail of death. In 8 days: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero were fatally shot, a 28-year-old man was killed during an ICE operation, and Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva died in custody
What happened in Maine today could happen again tomorrow in any town in the US. No one is safe when ICE is terrorizing our communities. We demand that Congress act now: strip ICE's bloated budget, close detention centers, & get ICE out of our communities. This must end.

What does it say when our highest court allows the federal government to fail on asylum, TPS, transgender rights, campaign finance, the Voting Rights Act, and even dares to question birthright citizenship? The pursuit of freedom demands not only celebration, but accountability.
As the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, we face a defining question: Do our actions still reflect the ideals our Founders wrote, that all people possess “certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”?
As a nonprofit immigration law firm, we see the faith people place in this country’s ideals—and the contradictions beneath them. #FourthofJuly is a reminder that freedom was built on injustice, and that true equity requires confronting how far we still have to go.

Today’s ruling affirms what should never have been in question: every child born here belongs here fully & equally. Birthright citizenship remains law, but we must press forward in the fight for due process, equal protection, dignity & justice is with urgency.
Today is a day not to celebrate the court affirming what we all already knew was the law, but a day to think about what damage this case has done to our democracy & what we are going to do to fight back. ImmDef responds: https://www.immdef.org/blog/scotus-brc

🚨 Las audiencias “mega master” son una trampa 🚨 Las audiencias mega master se están implementando en los tribunales de inmigración, adelantando los casos a fechas mucho más tempranas. Esto deja a la gente en riesgo de deportación. Mantente preparado. ImmDef.org/resources
🚨Mega master hearings are a deportation trap.🚨 Mega master hearings are being rolled out in immigration courts, pushing cases to much earlier dates. This leaves people scrambling without adequate notice or time to prepare, increasing the risk of removal. Stay prepared, ImmDef.org/resources

"Despite the Court’s attempt to sanitize the administration’s actions, we reject outright the notion that ending TPS was “race neutral.” These rulings today put the lives of human beings at risk." tinyurl.com/5db9jhke
"These decisions rip away legal status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian community members while slamming shut the path to asylum at our border for people fleeing for their lives. In doing so, they have dragged Thomas Paine’s vision of America through the mud." tinyurl.com/5db9jhke
"Congress has the power to end this. It must act now to pass a permanent pathway to citizenship for TPS holders and create a statutory right for asylum seekers to vindicate their access the asylum protection we have a legal and moral obligation to provide." https://tinyurl.com/5db9jhke
SCOTUS just handed Trump sweeping power to rip TPS from Haitians & Syrians and slam the border shut to asylum seekers. These rulings shred humanitarian obligations, put 350k+ at risk of deportation & send vulnerable ppl back to danger. https://tinyurl.com/5db9jhke
