"Americans should be asking ourselves if we’re willing to scar a generation of young people so that this administration can pursue its anti-immigrant policies. Abandoned and powerless children are not the 'worst of the worst.' They deserve nurturing and compassion, not hate." bit.ly/3UevQha

Immigrant Kids Deserve to Keep Their Lawyers

The Trump administration has jettisoned the way thousands of immigrant children receive legal help. On Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services ended the contract with the Acacia Center for...

Trump still hasn’t paid nonprofit attorneys over $65 million for their work to represent immigrant kids this year. Meanwhile his administration spent $50 million on the UFC fight, and $102 million on DC beautification efforts like the botched reflecting pool. 1/2

Our hearts break for the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Thinking of: Those living in fear of never seeing their children or parent again. Kids who have lost parents. Moms + Dads who are separated from their families bc of cruel immigration policies. You are more than your immigration status.

In our case Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, SCOTUS ruled that the Trump Admin could turn away asylum seekers at the border. Our Water Drop Program Coordinator @broloelcordero.bsky.social breaks down the devastating impact this decision will have on those seeking safety. 👇 fox5sandiego.com/news/local-n...

Supreme Court ruling says asylum seekers can be turned away at border

The Supreme Court has ruled that asylum seekers can now be turned away at the border, which could lead to them taking dangerous routes and going through inhospitable areas.

This decision will keep vulnerable people in danger while encouraging unauthorized migration. Just awful.

🚨Breaking: Today, SCOTUS delivered a devastating blow to asylum rights. In our case, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court ruled that the gov can block people from seeking asylum at official border crossings—turning people away w/out the chance to seek the protection they have a legal right to request.

In light of today's Supreme Court Ruling, a lil reminder about the constitution (from our trip to Tijuana with @alotrolado-org.bsky.social )

🚨 We just filed a FOIA lawsuit against ICE. Why? Because we found a secret attorney watchlist hidden on an ICE website—packed with Latino, Asian, and African names… including one of our own. The government is targeting immigration lawyers. Again. We’re demanding answers. Now.

Immigration detention does not just deprive people of their freedom. It can also deprive them of access to critical medical care. We've seen this firsthand. One client with a serious heart condition was repeatedly denied medication while detained. ICE detention is deadly.

From festering infections to untreated cancer, ICE detainees across the US describe medical neglect

Immigrant detainees across at least 33 states allege in court documents that the government is failing to provide them with adequate medical care.

Dehumanizing people and trolling is all they have.

Over 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during Trump’s immigration crackdown. Most are U.S. citizens. Through our reunification work at Al Otro Lado, we’ve seen this trauma firsthand. “Family values” apparently stop at immigrant families. www.nytimes.com/2026...

What it’s like at the wall

Al Otro Lado’s Water Drop Program is running low on supplies. Temps in the Imperial Valley are soaring, + migrants crossing the desert risk death from heat + dehydration. A bottle of water or can of food can save a life. Be someone’s lifeline. Act now: www.amazon.com/registries/g... 🌵🙏🏽 #WaterIsLife

Deaths in ICE detention are already at record levels this year. When people are trapped in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions and denied medical care, death becomes part of the system. We’ll keep fighting to free as many people as possible from detention.

ICE releases delayed detainee death reports as 2026 total rises to 17

The reports, covering four January deaths, were posted after the agency missed a 90-day deadline required by Congress.

Children are ending up in foster care because their parents are being detained. That is not incidental. It is the outcome of these policies. States are now scrambling to respond.

States change custody laws to keep children of detained immigrants out of foster care

As parents become separated from their children because of ICE arrests, legal advocates worry immigrants’ children are at risk of being placed in foster care systems.

A sitting president threatening that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” is a threat of genocide. We join with more than 200 organizations and experts to say not in our name.
