Happy #NationalInternDay to our incredible legal intern, Jaclyn Flood! 🎉 Thank you for your thoughtful research on international remote depositions, as well as your dedication to strengthening access to justice for migrants. We're so grateful to have you on our team! 🧡

Families belong together. Children deserve protection, not policies that put them at greater risk. We're proud to join a coalition in urging Congress to reject H.R. 9773. Read the joint statement from @humanrightsfirst.org: https://bit.ly/44Itcm6

Orlin should still be alive today. In his memory, we must demand that this never happen again, and ensure that the children of immigrants and immigrant families are protected and kept together.

Orlin Hernandez Reyes should be alive today. 🤍 After ICE separated him from his mother, Orlin died a preventable death. We support #OrlinsLaw to help stop these family separations. Read our statement & learn more: www.justiceinmotion.org/press-releases www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

New bill would prohibit ICE from separating parents from children

The proposal is named for a 3-year-old Florida boy who was killed after ICE deported his mother.

Two tragedies. Two grieving families. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Guerrero should still be here. Their deaths demand transparency, accountability, and independent oversight of ICE's use of force. Remember their names.

Civil rights organizations protect your vote, fight the hate groups threatening your community, and tell the truth about our past. This administration's response? Indict them. We join @SPLCenter in calling for the DOJ to dismiss this case.

In a recent webinar hosted by @projectsouthatl, our legal director outlined the vital work ahead for community advocates supporting our immigrant neighbors: the essential task of documenting every violation so no one is left behind. 🎥 Watch the full webinar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eji3qxDVSY

🚨 Instead of investing in the safety, dignity, and well-being of families and communities, lawmakers chose to lock in $70 billion in funding and strip away congressional oversight for #ICE and #CBP. Justice in Motion is deeply disappointed by this vote and will continue fighting.

A powerful investigation by Garance Burke and Sonia Pérez D. for @apnews reveals that dozens of children who were initially taken from their parents under the first Trump administration, have been separated from their families again. 🗞️ Read the full article in AP News: https://bit.ly/4uP8xbd

Months after Congress touted funding cuts, the Senate passed a $70 billion funding bill for ICE and CBP. Now, lawmakers are pursuing another $30 billion for ICE. In response, NIJC joined more than 100 organizations to urge Congress to reset its priorities. Read NIJC's statement w/ our partners 👇:

Thank you, @repdangoldman.bsky.social for your tireless work protecting due process. Reaching 40 detainee releases is an incredible milestone. Grateful for your leadership and for everyone working on the ground to support immigrant families during such challenging times.

Rep. Dan Goldman@repdangoldman.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I am proud to announce that our immigration triage center has successfully secured the release of 40 of our neighbors from unlawful ICE detention — the 40th being one of the detainees at the MDC that I met with recently.

Almost a decade later, the Trump administration is once again trying to walk back its obligations under the Ms. L settlement agreement – a promise made to families separated under the cruel “zero tolerance” policy. 🎥 Watch the full webinar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eji3qxDVSY

A child shouldn't have to face a courtroom alone just because of a funding gap.  We are grateful to @repdangoldman.bsky.social for leading the charge against the unstable, short-term funding of legal services for 26,000+ kids. Every child deserves a fair chance to seek safety.

Rep. Dan Goldman@repdangoldman.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The Trump administration is accelerating deportations of migrant children while stripping away the protections meant to keep them safe.   Children are being forced to navigate court alone, pressured to give up their rights, and face thousands of dollars in fees just to seek protection.

🚨 #Guatemala: together with international partners, we express deep concern over the trial of human rights lawyer #ClaudiaGonzález, starting 5 May 2026 in Guatemala City. We call on authorities to guarantee due process, judicial independence, and end persecution of lawyers.

On El Día del Niño/Children’s Day, we demand #SafetyNotSeparation because family separation policies haven’t ended. No child should have to navigate the immigration system alone. Visit Treatkidslikekids.org to learn and take action.

Immigrant children are stuck in a system that is trying to deport them by any means possible. Our immigration policies must protect vulnerable kids and their families, not punish them for seeking to be together. Kids need #SafetyNotSeparation. @immdef.bsky.social Learn more: treatkidslikekids.org

A parent’s right to make decisions about the care of their child is sacred. The HELP Act establishes clear standards for ICE to ensure that parents can make decisions for the care of their minor children. Learn more: justiceinmotion.org/press-releases

When Isabela* spoke up, no one listened. No record. No protection. No justice. But her journey didn’t end there. Across borders, she courageously sought asylum, refusing to let silence erase the truth. Read more in our newsletter: 🔗 justiceinmotion.org/#subscribe #SAAM2026 *Name has been changed.

Inside the Dilley facility in Texas, more than 1,000 people, including infants, are being held with fewer legal protections and oversight. Detention harms children’s mental health and development. Congress must move toward ending family detention. #EndFamilyDetention #FamiliesBelongTogether

Kristi Noem's DHS is sweeping up U.S. citizens. DHS has detained over 170 citizens, including children — even deporting two with cancer alongside their parents. Blocking congressional oversight and operating without accountability is unacceptable. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rQMYpp
