We uphold the humanity of immigrant communities in California by transforming systems to achieve racial, social, and economic justice.
"Shiu-Ming Cheer, deputy director of immigrant and racial justice at the California Immigrant Policy Center, said the directive calls for greater transparency than what the LAPD’s monthly reports currently provide." https://bit.ly/451q7O0
Reports of possible unlawful conduct by immigration officers increased in June, LAPD says
The 12 incidents documented in an LAPD report are the most since reporting began earlier this year.

What would it look like to evaluate ICE by how it affects children's health and well-being? This report on the #MentalHealth of kids in immigrant families, created with @caimmigrant.bsky.social, remains just as relevant today as when it was published: childrenspartnership.org/wp-content/u...
We demand justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastián Guerrero, and everyone else taken by ICE. No matter where you live — Maine, Texas, or right here in California — you deserve due process and independent review when a government agent takes a life.
"The urgency of this moment is six people, in the last year, six people have died inside California's private detention facilities," said Bruno Huizar of the California Immigrant Policy Center. https://bit.ly/3SZsiyS

This 4th of July, we celebrate freedom, dignity and opportunity — values immigrants have always fought hardest to make real. Immigrants didn't just come to this country. They helped build it. Every single day. Our communities are stronger, safer & more vibrant because immigrants are part of them. 🇺🇸
“The federal government doesn’t have the capacity in these areas,” explained Bruno Huizar, detention and deportation policy manager for the California Immigrant Policy Center. https://bit.ly/4p1l0Xi
Planned Gilroy detention center will increase arrests, advocates say – Voices of Monterey Bay

We are thrilled to celebrate the first year of our Regional Organizing Cohort (ROC) in Fresno! 🎉 Congratulations to all of the participants!
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the 2026-27 state budget. It protects critical supports for immigrant Californians at a moment, but serious gaps remain. We will keep fighting until California fully protects the health, safety, and economic mobility of ALL immigrant families.
Today’s Supreme Court decision makes it clear that if you are born in the United States, you are an American citizen. While we are relieved, we are not celebrating. Not while people with TPS are being pushed toward deportation and asylum seekers are being turned away at the border.
Today, we celebrate the immigrant fathers, grandfathers, and father figures whose courage built new beginnings and brighter futures for their families and communities. Thank you for your sacrifices, your strength, and your love. Happy Father's Day! 🌟
Today, on World Refugee Day, we honor the courage, resilience, and contributions of refugees worldwide — and recommit to fighting for their right to safety, dignity, and a place to call home.
Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience & joy. Today, we honor the legacy of those who fought for liberation — & affirm that the struggle for Black freedom and immigrant justice are deeply intertwined. We recommit to a future where every person can live with dignity, safety & opportunity
Fourteen years ago, nearly 800,000 young immigrants gained the chance to live, work, and build their futures without fear. Fourteen years later, they're still waiting for permanence. It's time for Congress to deliver a real pathway to citizenship. #HereToStay

On Monday, #CAleg Assembly released their #CAbudget plan. Health and immigration advocates are deeply disappointed at the decision to double down on the worst of the @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social 's cuts and throw immigrants under the bus, particularly without the fiscal outlook to justify it.

We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Muslim American community following the horrific attack on the Islamic Center.
Earlier today, Gov. Newsom released his May revised budget proposal for the fiscal year 2026-27. While we give the governor credit for funding programs that support immigrant communities, this proposal falls far short in investing in the health and safety of immigrants.
Our 2026 Immigrant Day of Action proved one thing loud and clear: we are READY. Ready to fight. Ready to show up. Ready to win. #ImmigrantDayofAction #ida2026 #immigrants #immigration
