    Just shameful. We estimate there are 88,000 allies and family members in the Special Immigrant Visa application process. 2,000 is just a drop in the bucket. If that’s the best we can do, it will be a permanent stain on our nation’s reputation.

    The U.S. government have likely rescued less than 2,000 Afghan interpreters and their family members at this point. U.S. officials said on Friday that the number was about 1,200.

    HUGE NEWS! We just won our case against the Trump administration and its executive order that would have allowed state and local officials to block refugee resettlement in their jurisdictions! This is a massive victory over those who would use refugees as political pawns!

    Dear @FLOTUS, I really do care. So do millions of Americans, and billions around the world. Why don’t you or @realDonaldTrump? Sincerely, Krish Vignarajah, Former Policy Director for @MichelleObama #KeepFamilesTogether

    NEW: The Biden admin just announced the Welcome Corps, allowing Americans to privately sponsor refugees & offer resettlement assistance to newly arrived families. This is a forward-thinking approach to leveraging the generosity of the American spirit. 1/ state.gov/launch-of-the-…

    My latest for @baltimoresun: we must hold accountable each and every official who forsook basic decency, core American values and humanitarian law to allow our government to traffic in kidnapping. In the Land of the Free, families belong together.

    THREAD: Since we're in the middle of a national dialogue on the pervasiveness of racism in U.S. police departments, let's talk about how immigration enforcement (ICE + Border Patrol) have also militarized xenophobia to oppress minority communities of color.

    I dedicate my latest to my own mother, who made the impossible decision to flee our home, as well as the thousands of asylum-seeking mothers desperately seeking to protect their children today. We must do better by these courageous, selfless women.

    Nobody wins in the cruelty contest between DeSantis, Ducey, and Abbott. Asylum seekers (including children) LEGALLY crossing the border had to flee the only home they’ve ever known. Shame on all those who would exploit vulnerable migrants for naked political theatre.

    The governor of Florida paid to fly about 50 migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard. 3 migrants told NPR a woman lured them onto the plane, saying they'd be flown to Boston to get expedited work papers. "She offered us help. Help that never arrived." n.pr/3QMWXZw
