Beyond educational lessons, the Sidewalk School provides a safe space to be a child for refugee & migrant children whose lives are in limbo waiting to seek U.S. asylum in dangerous Mexican border towns b/c of harmful U.S. policies. Consider supporting their work!

Volunteers with AFSC provide critical food, water & support to people seeking asylum stranded hours to days in difficult conditions at open-air detention sites in Southern California waiting for Border Patrol. Please consider donating!
As Border Patrol continues to hold people seeking asylum, including children, in open-air detention sites, conditions under the hot sun and chilly evenings exacerbate health concerns. Consider supporting aid workers by sending them items from this list: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

New in The Border Chronicle 🦂🔥 Can President Biden Really Shut Down Asylum at the Border? A Q&A with Immigration Expert Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick theborderchronicle.com/p/can-presiden…
If El Paso Border Patrol found 22 criminals in the 982 people apprehended that would only be 2%. But this is a weekly recap, 982 is the daily average. 982 X 7 days = 6,874. If they only caught 22 criminals all week, that is just 0.3% of the people they apprehended.
Weekly Recap. El Paso Sector agents continuously working day in and day out for a better border community. #weeklyupdate #borderpatrol #immigration #honorfirst #texas #newmexico
An agent turned around and followed 2 femme aid workers for miles yesterday when they were heading home. This is the type of intimidation that happens when you simply feed ppl and keep them from dying.
We are urging the Biden administration to halt deportations to Haiti as it’s experiencing a state of emergency after armed groups took over large parts of the country.
🎉 🧵BREAKING NEWS! We're thrilled to announce a MAJOR legal victory for immigrant children held in open-air detention sites (OADS) at the border! A court has ruled in our favor, affirming that these children are entitled to key protections under the law. apnews.com/article/border…

It’s wild that the border is a major national issue while you rarely hear any stories about the lives and journeys of asylum seekers in national broadcast media.
"Haitians have hardly failed to notice that they are being forced to seek refuge in the country that has made their own unliveable." My new @LRB piece is about Haitians at the US border, the rhetoric of "invasion" & "surge," & the limits of asylum law. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

Interesting exchange today. Sidewalk School shared news of SB4 with migrants in Reynosa shelter. A migrant woman asked if Trump was behind the policy. After informed it was crafted by the Texas governor, migrants asked if it was an election year.
Me (Felicia Rangel-Samponaro) telling asylum seekers about SB4 going into effect a couple of hours ago in the state of TX.
🚨UPDATE: SCOTUS has extended the pause on #SB4 pending further order. Our request to temporarily stop SB4 from taking effect is being considered by the court and we’re not backing down until this anti-immigrant bill is gone once and for all!
BREAKING: We + @CGRS_Asylum filed a lawsuit compelling @CBP to hand over records regarding their open-air detention sites (OADS). Through our suit we hope to get an understanding of exactly what the hell CBP is up to at these OADS + what their policies are regarding them.
