New CAP reporting found Americans broadly support policies to modernize the legal immigration system and the benefits it can bring to the country.

From cuts to SNAP to the detention of young children like Liam Ramos, the Trump administration has continued to implement policies that deprioritize the health and well-being of children in America. Hear from @firstfocus.bsky.social's @brucelesley.bsky.social:

@somosvotantes.bsky.social founder and president, @melissa-in-dc.bsky.social, on the priorities of Latino voters: "One of the biggest mistakes that we have made is to set up the issues of immigration and the economy as competing issues when in reality they are incredibly intertwined."

Despite the Trump administration claiming that tariffs would revitalize American manufacturing, they have instead been a source of manufacturing job losses, rising prices, and surging bankruptcies on main streets across the country. https://ampr.gs/4aXT4hk

The Trump administration's chaotic and cruel immigration policies shut the door on access to safety for refugees.
