Last week, President of @fwd.us, Todd Schulte, spoke alongside @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social & other Members on why we must fight to close Dilley & end family detention. More than half of those detained are children. Congress should not provide another dollar to expand detention facilities like this.

150k Haitian TPS holders in FL face losing the ability to work & being torn away from their families & homes. Last month, SCOTUS cleared the way for the Trump admin to end TPS. Last week, they announced the termination of TPS for several countries. @haitianbridge.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4fx563R

GOP Ohio Gov. DeWine and other GOP leadership are asking Trump not to deport Haitian TPS holders following last week’s TPS termination. Ohio is home to 14k Haitian TPS holders who heavily contribute to the economy and the workforce. Read more: https://bloom.bg/4bkmiqP

About 350,000 TPS holders from Haiti and other countries lost their work permits and protections from deportations this week. Following last month’s Supreme Court ruling clearing the way to end TPS, industries nationwide are bracing for the loss of vital workers.

People released from detention centers shouldn’t be forced to pay exorbitant transportation costs to be reunited with their loved ones. An investigation by @charress.bsky.social in the @msindy.bsky.social reveals predatory transportation practices that financially exploit immigrants.

Earlier this week, the admin announced a sweeping change to asylum cases. Under the new USCIS rule, officers no longer have to interview certain applicants before sending them straight to immigration court — up to 444K cases out of a 1.4M backlog could be affected.

“One day I was a senior in high school, pursuing my passion for soccer, surrounded by my family. And the next, I was detained without reason." Ricardo Hernandez-Navarrete was 2 days from his HS graduation when he & his mom were arrested by ICE.

ICYMI: The latest from @newsweek.com cites @fwd.us data on the economic impact of terminating TPS for Haiti, especially in FL, where 93,000 Haitian TPS holders support industries like food service, agriculture, healthcare, warehousing, and security.

The Trump administration is moving to systematically strip hundreds of thousands of people of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), threatening to uproot families who have built their lives legally in the U.S. for years. This cruel move will cause immense human and economic harm.

Today, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov called up the SECURE Act on the Senate floor, which would provide a pathway to lawful permanent residency for TPS holders. Thank you, Senator, for your advocacy. This comes at a crucial time when TPS holders are losing status and are at risk of deportation.

Since 2020, the Alabama DOC has spent more than $68M defending itself in litigation. See @alreporter.com coverage of #TheAlabamaSolution brief exposing how the department defends excessive force instead of stopping it buff.ly/fjQOpYO

Analysis shows excessive force suits against ADOC officers cost taxpayers $20M

The cost to defend and often settle cases against ADOC officers accounts for 63 percent of the state's liability fund.

ICYMI from Indiana Public Media: About 7K TPS holders in Indiana face uncertainty in light of the recent SCOTUS decision allowing the admin to terminate TPS for Haiti and Syria.

New cruel tactics reveal the same results we’ve seen for years in the criminal justice system: deterrence doesn’t work, and it carries a deep human toll along the way.

Today, @fwd.us joined @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @repyassansari.bsky.social, @repfletcher.bsky.social, @pressley.house.gov @repluzrivas.bsky.social & @anitakpatelmd.bsky.social for a press conference following a congressional delegation tour of Dilley Detention Center

Families don’t belong in detention. @fwd.us President Todd Schulte discusses the harm of family detention and the horrible conditions that exist at Dilley and in detention centers around the country.

What’s happening inside this facility is unacceptable. I’m calling on Trump to #ShutDownDilley and release these children immediately. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social @fwd.us

Last night, I arrived in Texas for a congressional oversight visit led by @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social. Today, we’re heading to the Dilley ICE detention center—the nation’s only dedicated family immigration detention center.

On my way to the Dilley ICE detention center, where teenagers, babies, and families are imprisoned. I’m here to conduct critical oversight with @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and demand Dilley be closed NOW.

Innocent children don’t belong in prison. We must #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.

300k+ Haitian TPS holders face losing status and immigration enforcement actions. Terminating TPS will have massive economic consequences beyond the human impact on families and communities.

Last week, @fwd.us Press Director, Rachel Hooper, joined hundreds of journalists and media professionals at the @morelatinosinnews.bsky.social national conference in NOLA.

We’re looking for an External Affairs Intern who’s passionate about communications, social media, advocacy, and ready to put their skills to work advancing impactful solutions on criminal justice and immigration reform.

Today, the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social hosted a field hearing in Houston about the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo at the hands of ICE. Thanks to the leadership of CHC Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social, @benniethompson.bsky.social @sylviagarcia.house.gov & other MOCs for their leadership.

ICYMI: Rep. Chuy Garcia wrote an op-ed for @thehill.com, highlighting the consequences for 1.3 million TPS holders if the administration terminates their status. Thank you for including @fwd.us recent data showing that TPS holders contribute $29B/year from and pay nearly $8B/year in taxes.

ICYMI from @themarshallproject.org: ICE hasn’t released information about detaining immigrants since April 2026. Without official numbers, the full scope and consequences of the Administration’s mass deportation & expanded immigration enforcement are impossible to know.

Happening today: Zaira Garcia is in Houston to attend the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' Field Hearing regarding the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE.

Congress needs to act immediately to protect the 1.3 million TPS holders and their families from the devastating consequences of detention, deportation, and family separation.

Host or join nationwide vigils to honor Lorenzo's and Johan’s lives and the lives of all the others whom ICE has killed. 🗓️ WHEN: July 25, 2026 ⬇️Register below
