The Trump administration has stripped more than 1.6 million immigrants of their legal status.

"These were legal pathways. People did the thing the government asked them to do, and this government went and preemptively revoked that status."

Immigrants now have fewer legal options to stay in the U.S. under Trump
The 1.6 million number marks the largest-ever effort to strip permissions for immigrants who attempted to migrate to the country through legal means, advocates say.

ICE's repeated denial of essential medical care for people in its custody has become the dire norm at detention centers nationwide, putting lives at serious risk.

Immigration detention shouldn't be a death sentence.

It’s last-minute gift time— but don’t let Starbucks off the hook for failing baristas. Thousands of union Starbucks workers across the US are on strike this holiday season.

The easiest way to stand with them? Don’t buy Starbucks, including gift cards. #NoContractNoCoffee

Temporary Protected Status holders contribute about $21 BILLION annually to the US economy, yet the Trump admin is moving to end their work permits & deportation protections.

Congress must pass legislation giving immigrant workers and their families permanent residency: ☎️ 1-877-267-5060 #TPSAction

Care workers are essential to America’s economy. Cruel immigration policies that strip people of work permits and protections hurt everyone: families lose income, and others lose the caregivers they rely on. #WeMakeAmericaWork

The business of caring for older Americans is in a deepening crisis
Government funding cuts, caregiver shortages and immigration limits are adding new strains to an industry that’s already hard-pressed to meet demand.

Rep Grijalva's responsibility is to ask questions and stand up for the community — not be punished for it, let alone pepper-sprayed by ICE. When violence replaces due process, it puts everyone’s basic rights at risk. Accountability is a must. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Rep. Adelita Grijalva says she was 'sprayed in the face' during ICE confrontation
Grijalva said that she identified herself as a member of Congress and saw "people directly sprayed," including press and members of her staff.

Our country is made stronger by the #BraveOfUS, those who moved to make a better life for our families. But instead of celebrating our contributions, the Trump admin is putting billionaires over working families.

Marka27's exhibit Elevar La Cultura shows the truth: America works because we do.

Minnesota is strongest when we protect each other, not when our communities are targeted and terrorized by ICE and deportation flights. We’re fighting back with prayer, unity, and action.

America has a long history of exploiting immigrant workers, even as it benefits from their contributions to the economy. It’s past time that we create more legal paths that allow them to fix their paperwork and become U.S. citizens.
