Thank you for sharing this. It’s tragic that our immigration policies keep families separated for so long but I’m glad you made this happen.

When I became a permanent resident in the late 1980s, the application fee was $60. Under the new Trump Admin proposal, it will be $1,120. When I became a citizen in 1994, the application fee was $95. The administration wants to make it $1,170. More bricks in the "virtual" wall.
STORY: The Trump administration on Friday proposed an unprecedented series of new fees for asylum-seekers and immigrants hoping to stay in the US, aiming to become one of just four countries in the world to charge for an asylum application.

Important thread on the death of Johana Medina. So much to be angry about, including the fact that ICE says she “illegally” entered the U.S. in the same paragraph they say she presented herself at a port of entry. It shows that ICE sees all forms of seeking asylum as suspect.
This is the timeline ICE provided into Johana's detainment and death.

@CBP
claims that they were not "detaining" people but this is only true if you define "detain" to mean only to be placed in a locked room. These individuals were in a waiting area and could walk to the parking lot but were not free to go: 3/
Social media posts that CBP is detaining Iranian-Americans and refusing their entry into the U.S. because of their country of origin are false. Reports that DHS/CBP has issued a related directive are also false.

They were not being allowed to enter the U.S. (their only home) and CBP was holding their passports so they couldn't back to Canada even if they had wanted to. So yes, they were detained. The people I made contact there were held up for questioning for as long as 2 1/2 hours. /4

My colleague Matt Adams will appear before the U.S. Supreme Court tomorrow morning. While we are honored to represent our clients in this case, it's profoundly disappointing that the Biden Administration will be asking

Tomorrow's hearing at the

I can vouch for this. Have been working with several parents in Seattle area whose children were detained by ORR, including at Tornillo. It’s taken months for them to be released to their parents.
There are 1,300 kids ready to leave to live with sponsors who have already been identified. But these children remain at Tornillo each day because this administration has deliberately prolonged the process of releasing them.

Washington State friends:
The U.S. Senate is considering agreeing to Republican demands of "drastic border and asylum restrictions" (see below). I urge you to call
@PattyMurray
at 1-866-481-9186 and
@SenatorCantwell
at 202-224-3441 and ask them to oppose any such proposals.
New — The drastic border and asylum restrictions considered by President Biden reflect a seismic political shift on immigration.
It's a shift that would've been unthinkable 3 years ago, when Biden promised to "restore" the asylum system.

In a 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of an extreme interpretation of the mandatory immigration detention statute. We are deeply disappointed in their ruling, and outraged by the impact it will have on immigrants and their rights. (1/3)

And, of course, this is in addition to the outrageous aspect of this proposal that would charge asylum seekers to obtain humanitarian protection, which would make the U.S. only the fourth country in the world to do so.

Strange days when I hope Ann Coulter is right about something.
No court will allow a president to claim it's an "emergency" to violate a law he just signed.

One final point: it should be noted that part of the reason for these unreasonable increases is that DHS is taking money from USCIS to shift to ICE. This means some immigrants are being asked to pay more so other immigrants can be deported.
