No more ICE abuse and violence. No more funding for ICE while people lose health care, struggle to pay rent, and kids go hungry. We demand dignity, due process, and safety for everyone. We demand #EndTheICEAge endtheiceage.com

Yesterday we joined advocates and partner to demand NO MORE abuse and death at the hands of ICE and NO MORE ICE funding while people lose health care, struggle to pay rent, and kids go hungry. We demand an end to the ICE age, where everyone has the dignity and safety they deserve: endtheiceage.com

No one is safe when ICE is present – whether on the streets or in one of the agency’s more than 200 abuse-ridden detention facilities. All across the country, ICE agents are sowing chaos and tearing families apart. Abolish ICE now! gofundme.com/f/justice-and-support-for-johan-sebastians-family

⚠️ ALERTA: La decisión de la Corte Suprema en el caso Blanche v. Lau genera nuevos riesgos para los residentes permanentes que regresan a los Estados Unidos tras un viaje internacional si tienen ciertos cargos penales pendientes. 🔗 Comparte el recurso: bit.ly/SCOTUS-LAU

Open cases show up in border officers' system. They may also ask questions about suspected criminal activity. Green card holders with open criminal cases should consider consulting an immigration attorney before travelling internationally to understand the new risk.

NOW: Green card holders with *any* past criminal convictions may face risk of detention, deportation, and loss of their green card when returning to the US from international travel. Green card holders with open criminal cases may also face a risk when returning from international travel

What does it matter? Generally green card holders are free to travel internationally, and they have protections when they return to the US - but there are exceptions. Certain convictions put green card holders at risk of detention + deportation if they leave the US and return

First: what did the court decide? The court decided that in *some* situations border officers can treat green card holders returning from travel as if they are seeking (new) admission -- all based on an open criminal case (regardless of conviction)

🚨 [RESOURCE ALERT] Last week's SCOTUS decision flies in the face of due process and the presumption of innocence everyone is afforded -- including green card holders returning home to the U.S. after traveling abroad. IDP created a community alert to understand what's happening 🧵:

COMMUNITY RESOURCE ALERT: Last week's SCOTUS Blanche v. Lau decision creates new risks for green card holders returning to the US from international travel if they have certain open criminal charges. Share the full resource widely with community members: bit.ly/SCOTUS-LAU

Everyone deserves basic dignity and respect. As we continue seeing increased attacks against immigrants, remember that the immigration and criminal legal systems work together to criminalize and incarcerate - and the fight for immigrant justice requires us to disentangle them!

📢 Tuesday's 6-3 #SCOTUS decision on Blanche v. Lau case flies in the face of due process and the presumption of innocence everyone is afforded -- including green card holders returning home to the U.S. after traveling abroad. IDP-specific community resource and FAQ coming soon.

Every father - no matter their status, deserves safety, dignity, and liberty. This #FathersDay we uplift all fathers, dads, and papas that bring joy and care in our lives. We continue fighting for a world where no family is separated due to the US’s cruel and inhumane immigration system.

It's #FathersDay weekend but we're thinking of all the fathers waiting for their children to come home, waiting to go home to their children, or fighting to stay with their children. This Father's Day, we want the gift of clemency so families can reunite and stay together 💗

🚨 Congress and Trump are giving ICE and CBP $70 BILLION -- that's on top of the $170 BILLION they gave these two agencies last year, bringing their budget to $240 BILLION. Act now. Tell your Senators and Representatives: focus on our communities; no more money for ICE and CBP: bit.ly/NOmore4ice

The Senate passed ANOTHER mass deportation bill to funnel almost $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP and the House is expected to vote on it TOMORROW JUN 9th! 📢 ACT NOW: Tell your Congressperson to VOTE NO on the budget reconciliation bill. We have 24 hours. http://bit.ly/NOmore4ice

‼️URGENT: Senate is considering a mass deportation bill that funnels ~$70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP. They even snuck in a $350 million slush fund for ICE to unleash chaos in sanctuary cities and states. ACT NOW: Tell Congress vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill: bit.ly/NOmore4ice

Hundreds of New Yorkers came together this past weekend to remind legislators and @governor.ny.gov that any immigration package passed without the New York for All Act is NOT ENOUGH. We need #NY4All now!

New Yorkers made it clear across the state this weekend that New York must end law enforcement collusion with ICE and CBP -- and until the legislature passes #NY4All and @governor.ny.gov signs it into law, they can't claim they're meeting this moment of mass deportations and ICE violence.

NY ACTION: We're coming together 5/29 & 30 to call on legislators to act + protect immigrant NYers. Until they pass #NY4All and @governor.ny.gov signs it into law, NY will continue to let law enforcement agencies collude with ICE to carry out Trump's mass deportation agenda. Find an action near you

🚨NEW: The immigration package included in NYS budget deal leaves the door wide open for law enforcement to collaborate with #ICE to tear families and communities apart. With days left in the state legislative session, IDP calls on legislators to pass #NY4All and @governor.ny.gov to sign it into law!

Law enforcement agencies act as an arm of ICE 👏all👏the👏time. Despite all the talk about protecting immigrant NYers @governor.ny.gov announced a budget deal with an immigration package that continues to allow widespread law enforcement collusion w/ICE. Instead of talk, we need to pass #NY4All now!

We agree @governor.ny.gov - law enforcement shouldn't be doing ICE's job. That's precisely why New Yorkers need you to pass the New York for All Act to prohibit local and state resources from being used to fuel the mass deportation agenda. Protect immigrant New Yorkers - pass #NY4All now!

Last wk @governor.ny.gov announced a budget immigration package that includes what she calls "protections against ICE" but the truth is it doesn't prohibit the use of state + local resources - including law enforcement, from being used to collude w/ ICE. We need comprehensive solutions like #NY4All

Across the US and here in New York, ICE relies on discriminatory + aggressive policing to racially profile + target immigrants. Despite this @governor.ny.gov's immigration package would continue to give law enforcement free rein to feed the arrest-to-deportation pipeline. What we need is #NY4All!

Everyone regardless of where you were born or where you live, deserves safety and dignity. This #MothersDay we're thinking of all the immigrant mothers, moms, and mamas that light up worlds and continue fighting for a world where no one is left behind 💕

It's #MothersDay weekend and we're thinking of all the mothers, moms, and mamas for whom the greatest gift would be clemency from @governor.ny.gov so families can reunite and stay together 💗
