Four expulsion flights are being sent to Haiti right now. Three more are scheduled to go out today. As the world watches the mass expulsion & racist treatment of Haitian migrants seeking safety, @POTUS and @VP continues to stand on the wrong side of history. We will not forget.

Judge Hanen's decision to block DACA today means Congress must act. DACA was always a stopgap measure. Today's decision shows how incredibly urgent it is for the Dems to legalize the undocumented population. As the President noted "the world is watching."

Javier, his family, community, organizers, lawyers- @unlocal @MaketheRoadNY IRC @nyulaw-had to join forces to prevent this injustice. The Feb 18 interim guidance is meaningless if local ICE offices can still do whatever they want. Bolder change is needed. nytimes.com/2021/03/11/nyreg…

On February 2, 2021, President Biden issued three immigration-related executive orders. Here's what they do:
Reminder: Although Biden has proposed comprehensive immigration reform legislation, Congress has not passed the bill. Please do not hire anyone who says they can help you get legal status/citizenship under Biden's bill.

Biden's proposed immigration bill would replace replace the term "alien" from U.S. immigration laws with "noncitizen." Language is often a prime vehicle to justify violence and we welcome the step towards recognizing the inherent dignity of noncitizens cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/…

Biden wants to remove this controversial word from US laws | CNN Politics

It’s just one small part of the sweeping immigration overhaul President Biden is proposing. But the symbolic significance is huge.

The administration, however, cannot just pay lip service towards recognizing the dignity of noncitizens but must implement policies that immediately end deportation and detention, while also providing a swift pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
