330K Haitian TPS holders have been building lives, raising kids, working, contributing, and planting roots in communities across the country. 50K U.S. citizen children depend on their Haitian TPS parents. People are not temporary. Congress must vote YES on S. 4814.
SCOTUS has cleared the way for the Trump Admin to end TPS for 330K Haitians and up to 1.3M people from 17 countries. S. 4814 would require DHS to designate Haiti for TPS through 2029, giving hundreds of thousands of families stability. Tell your senators to vote YES on S. 4814.
ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston during a traffic stop. He was a hard working father and devoted husband. These extrajudicial killings will continue until ICE is abolished and the terror unleashed on immigrant communities stops. #AbolishICE
🚨 ICE Kills Again, Must Finally be Abolished "Our communities deserve to live free from fear, and that means ending ICE’s lawless terror by finally abolishing the agency." Murad Awawdeh
