The Trump administration's rush to detain immigrants on an unprecedented scale is creating dangerous, deadly conditions. Camp East Montana is ICE's largest detention center — and the conditions inside reveal significant human rights abuses. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/07/20/locked-away

The Trump administration is once again weaponizing the gov't to make immigrants afraid to seek health care & other federal programs. This new rule sows fear & chaos to ultimately reshape America into a country where only the few who are white and ultra-wealthy are welcome.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits.

We’re suing ICE for withholding records about the Trump administration’s unlawful removals of people with pending immigration cases, stays of deportation, and court-ordered protection. ICE failed to provide the information required by law, so we’re taking them to court.

To stop ICE's violence, Congress must take back the money that pays for it. They wrote these violent agencies a blank check, and they have the power to revoke it. Tell your representatives to take back ICE & CBP's $240 billion slush fund: https://bit.ly/4vtpRCl

*Contains details related to suicide* Congress gave ICE & CBP billions of dollars to ramp up detention. The consequences: overcrowded facilities, inadequate health care & deaths in custody. More than 50 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. https://bit.ly/4eTUZG4

“He Didn’t Need to Die.” How an Immigration Detention Center Repeatedly Failed to Address a Mental Health Crisis.

Geraldo Lunas Campos repeatedly raised concerns about his mental health before he died at Camp East Montana. Records paint a portrait of how the Texas facility’s staff failed to adequately respond.

Communities across the country are proving that state action can make a real difference. As the Trump administration escalates its mass deportation agenda, states are advancing laws to protect immigrant communities, defend our rights, and limit immigration enforcement.🧵⬇️

Yesterday ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father, husband, and beloved neighbor who spent 35 years building a life in the U.S. Our hearts are heavy with grief for his family and all those suffering at the hands of ICE, CBP, and this administration's unrelenting cruelty.

Graphic with text that says, "Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should not only still be alive - he should be enjoying the beauty of the life he built." With a quote from Ronaldo Salgado that says, "My father was a private man, a man who dedicated his life to work. He worked the last 30 years of his life building homes in the Houston suburbs. Part of his dream was to build a house for himself and his family, just like the hundreds he had built for himself over his career... He achieved it and after it was built and up until the last weekend, you can find him every evening after work, resting on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. That's how I want the world to know my father. Not as someone who got shot and killed, but as a family man, a man who understood that good things come to those who put in hard work. I am deeply heartbroken to see that the man who taught me the value of hard work, family values, and education will no longer spend an evening on that porch."
