Gotta love the feeling of getting off the @SFBART after a long day fighting for asylum-seekers as an immigration attorney, only to take a seat outside the Castro Valley station & look down to see racist, nazi-esque graffiti!
Moms know when their children are REALLY sick. Moms know the extreme danger of a 104.9 fever. This mom BEGGED for an ambulance for her sick little girl. Border Patrol responded with a cold shower.

Five & 1/2 months trying in vain to use a glitchy & discriminatory app, CBP One, to save your son’s life. Now, patiently waiting in line in the cold, begging for protection, only to be turned away for hours.

She could be your daughter, lil sis, the kid you babysit for. These families are doing everything you claim they’re supposed to do—knocking on the metaphorical door & asking for help. And we are turning them away. This is a disgrace.

Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas just held big meeting to train on what post-Title 42, new “asylum ban” rule looks like, per a USCIS employee 1/

We are gravely concerned at @RESCUEorg of the ongoing harm to migrants and asylum seekers resulting from Title 42. I share my thoughts here, along with the always brillant @taylorklevy and @adam_wola theworld.org/media/2022-12-…
asylum-seeker tent camp; U.S.-Mexico border; freezing temperatures; hope remains…#SafeNotStranded
The fight continues. A single district court in Texas has once again wrongfully stepped in to try to dictate asylum & foreign relations for a nation. The court’s decision is morally unacceptable and the Biden Admin should not add new people to an inhumane program. #RMXMustGo
Great information from @HIASMX with a legal explanation of the “leave Mexico within 15 days” document given to Venezuelans deported to Mexico under Title 42.

Copy of Mexican paperwork given to the Venezuelans deported to Mexico by @SecMayorkas & @POTUS under Title 42. No time for a full translation, sorry, & not a Mexican lawyer. Ordered to leave country within 15 days. Many ppl reporting Border Patrol took belongings, $$, documents
The Venezuelans deported to Matamoros, Mex today under Title 42 were given this paper. They are being “offered” busses to Mexico City by Mex immigration & told they will get shelter & can apply. Many won’t qualify & they also have 15 day orders to LEAVE Mexico.
Title 42 is state-sanctioned torture started by Trump & EXPANDED by @POTUS & @AliMayorkas. 100s of Venezuelans deported to Mex last two days. Have 15 days to leave Mexico. No shelter space. Cartel kidnappers circling. Man is having seizure on the Matamoros bridge right now.

Love to hear it.
At any given time, at least half of the asylum officer corps is plotting their escape
the truly enraging thing about this is he will never win in his gross political posturing despite throwing migrants under the bus, or more aptly--literally to the cartels--the Right will never be satisfied & now he has put himself on record as in favor of Trump's policies.
shame. shame on whoever had a hand in this hateful declaration and shame on the leader who put his name to it.
Just reminded by wicked smart lawyer @taylorklevy that the regulation does provide a family unity exception such that if she gets withholding of removal, the judge could grant her asylum so she can bring her children to the US! So let’s hope she can can win that protection!
Seeing this is just wild. As someone who spent a lot of time in border regions as a kid, I would never have believed this is what it could look like today It's a nation gone mad
📷 Happy New Year! 🎉 A heartfelt thank you to all who supported JAC in 2023. We couldn't do this without you! 🙏 As JAC its 5th year, we look forward to continuing to work alongside you all in service of immigrant justice, towards a future in which everyone can thrive. ✨
My legal advice is to not live within, and avoid travel through as possible, the 5th circuit.
My first A1 story for the New York Times - really exciting to a nerd like me. Ten years ago, I didn’t think I’d last long in this industry. I’m so appreciative of those who told me to keep going, like @emilytgreen. Onward!
WATCH: @Arosaflores joined @mehdirhasan to discuss Senate #immigration talks “When you look at this deal, you look at policies that we know drive up border encounter numbers...they are looking at Trump-era policies that didn’t work, and it certainly won’t work now.” #SaveAsylum
This isn’t about the border - this a political stunt by Republicans. Proud to stand with my @HispanicCaucus colleagues to make it clear that we will not allow migrants to be used as political pawns. Support for our allies should stand alone.
I stood with @RepBarragan and the @HispanicCaucus to express alarm and opposition to reports that @POTUS is considering a deal with Republicans to essentially ban asylum and enact Trump-era immigration policies that would be devastating to communities across the U.S. and across…
BREAKING: DHS Officials Warn that WH/Senate proposals would “break the border” #SaveAsylum nbcnews.com/news/border-po…
Words can’t describe my increasing anger against this administration. I truly beg folks to just spend a single goddamn day in an ICE facility with recently arrived asylum seekers. Like, actually listen to people. You’ll see that this shit is nonsense, inhumane, and deadly.
Restarting Title 42 is a *terrible* idea for many reasons. It not only prevented asylum seekers from accessing protections, it also set off a surge of repeat crossings. Ending it *reduced* so-called "got-aways." So it'd be less protection, more crossings. x.com/david_j_bier/s…
NEW: Ending Title 42 halved successful covert illegal immigration. Congressional GOP leadership wants to ban asylum as was the case under Title 42, but it is now proven that this policy was horrible for real border security. Asylum *improves* security. cato.org/blog/ending-ti…
This is so important. Programs such as MPP, T42 and any non-Mexican border returns to Mexico require agreement by the Mexican government. Legislating anything that mandates a foreign government do something is not workable.
2/ The real message here is that many in the current border/Ukraine negotiations in seem to have taken for granted Mexican cooperation.
Seriously. You can’t just shut the border. That’s now how anything works. Once migrants are on US soil, Mexico has its own inviolable right not to permit the US to send them back. Without Mexico’s permission, the US can only deport people via plane, and there’s only a few planes.

@taylorklevy @DHSOIG Yeah. It seems like the PACR/HARP screenings continue to be routinely two-week affairs.
The reason I didn’t have a complete breakdown at the NY Asylum Office was that my assignment there was temporary and I could look forward to being assigned elsewhere. Also, the director there did not have the authority to fire me because I worked for another division in RAIO.
