In 2001, #Durbin introduced the #DreamAct w/Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), in an effort to create a path to #citizenship for younger #undocumented #immigrants who had been brought to the US as children. It never became #law, but it laid the foundation for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [#DACA] program, which was announced by President #Obama in 2012 & protected hundreds of thousands of immigrants from #deportation. #Trump has tried to end the program, & it remains under legal threat.

Continued thread

#Durbin’s departure will reverberate in the #Senate, where he played a prominent role on a host of big issues & was considered a forceful advocate of party positions. He was among the first to push for a path to #citizenship for some #undocumented immigrants brought to the #UnitedStates illegally as children, a group that came to be known as #Dreamers that became the focal point of successive failed efforts to overhaul #immigration laws.

not everyone should be given a trial #Trump #StephenMiller

#MAGA seems to be so concerned on NUMBERS, the numbers _they_ are interested in

The 900k #RussianTroops troops killed and wonded, is not a number that they see 😵
The millions of #undocumented and the billions of USD, is not a number they see 🤑
The number of #climatecrisis events, is not a number they see 🥵
etc etc etc

Mad orange Nazi says he wants to send people with mental health disorders who commit violent crimes to prisons in El Salvador. "They need to be taken out “ its legit a quote from him.. 😔
In Nazi Germany the mentally ill were the first to be exterminated.
They are more likely to be the victims of violent crimes not the perpetrators.

It’s begun.

The #SocialSecurity Admin this week entered the names & SSNs of >6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track #dead people, effectively #erasing their ability to receive #benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates….

The move, requested by #DHS Secy [& dog killer] #KristiNoem, is aimed at putting pressure on the #undocumented immigrants to leave the country.

The Washington Post · Social Security classifies thousands of immigrants as dead, as part of Trump crackdownBy Lisa Rein

Okay yeah so this is happening, so much for taking a #MentalHealth break I guess …

#IRS Chief & others resign after #data-sharing deal w/ #ICE

The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service is stepping down, per 3 people familiar…, after the agency agreed to share #undocumented migrants’ #tax #information with #Immigration & Customs Enforcement, a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records.

"Why are all these homeless people camped in my city?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why are #undocumented Mexican workers being hired instead of Americans?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why do we have such awful #PoliticalPolarization ?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why isn't the weather normal anymore?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why don't we give adequate care to our veterans?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why do I pay $3.50 every time I withdraw cash from an ATM?" - Because you vote Republican

"Why is #college #tuition so expensive?" - Because you vote #Republican (OK, also some other reasons, but heavily the Republican thing)

"Why are people giving me the stink eye in the grocery store?" - I think you know.

#HotTake: Every #human should be entitled by international #law to free, unseizeable #ID documents in the form of a travel #passport to evidence their #identity and have #FreedomOfMovement as well as a chance to #flee.

Why?

The Trump Admin deported a 10 yr old girl recovering from #BrainCancer along w/ 5 of her siblings & her parents. The girl & four of her siblings are United States citizens while the parents are undocumented. #Immigration authorities removed the young girl & her 4 American siblings from Texas, when their #undocumented parents were deported to #Mexico. Now, the family fears that the disruption in her medical care could have life-threatening consequences

#Farmers in #Wisconsin have historically been staunch Republican. Liking USDA programs that cater to them and resentful of parcel taxes that pay for local government services such as public schools. Liking #Undocumented #Labor - as long as they live in the shadows. Twenty or so Midwestern US Senators - mostly Republican - have historically looked after "their" ag sector. No more: they're afraid of Tangerine Turd - whose henchmen are gleefully wrecking everything.

Yeah, that’s gonna happen:

Calling all restaurant workers and owners: Eater has got you covered #immigration #ICE
“'The lives of #immigrants and U.S.-born residents are deeply intertwined, and it is not possible to target #undocumented immigrants without harming citizens and U.S. residents and immigrants of other statuses too,' says Hahn. 'Everything that they are doing is impractical, destructive, costly, it’s going to hurt our #economy. And immigrants are essential members of our #communities.'”

Eater · What You Should Do if ICE Comes to Your RestaurantBy Jaya Saxena

As ICE expands enforcement, undocumented practitioners of minority religions worry whether they will have time to secure their consecrated items or even be allowed to take them during deportation, highlighting concerns over religious freedom and immigrant rights.

"'They used us,' the #Venezuelan activist Adelys Ferro told NPR. “During the campaign, the elected officials from the #Republican Party, they told us he was not going to touch #documented people. They said, ‘No, it is with #undocumented people.' In fact, both #Trump and Vice President #JDVance said they wanted to deport people legally allowed in the country. Some voters just convinced themselves their own groups wouldn’t become targets."

Federal District Court Deborah Boardman, Maryland issued preliminary injunction today blocking Trump’s attempt to #unilaterally eliminate automatic U.S. #citizenship for children born to #undocumented or temporary #immigrants on US soil. The nationwide injunction applies nationally and is more permanent than the 14-day temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 23 by a federal judge in Seattle. #trump #politics #courts #Democracy #constitution #legalresearch #govdocs
