When violent enforcement escalated, we responded with litigation and persistence. We challenged unlawful raids, fought to restore counsel for children, forced action on asylum cases, and showed up nationwide to demand accountability.

This year felt like a decade. I wanted to highlight some of the immigration reporting I've done over the past 12 months:
In January, I wrote about the big money fueling the right's plot to end birthright citizenship.

When raids began in SoCal in June 2025, ImmDef & CLUE launched the Detained Immigrant Bond Fund. We raised $850K, bringing 85 people home this holiday season. With average bonds at $10K, we can free just 5 more—unless you help us step up again.
