Disturbing reports from courthouses across California.

If someone is doing what they were supposed to and attending their court hearing, this is not the answer.

We need real solutions to our broken immigration system, not just fear, intimidation and family separation.

BREAKING: Video shows ICE using a new tactic of dismissing immigration cases – including for innocent people – then immediately arresting people outside of the courtroom. This is sickening.

As a border resident, I need y'all to know that shutting international bridges aka closing the border devastates border communities like Eagle Pass. Especially at Christmas time it cuts holiday revenues by 10-30% AND it keeps family members and friends from being able to reconnect. Don't hurt US

In Douglass, AZ, Frontera de Cristo and community members hold a weekly vigil at the port of entry in memory of those who have died crossing the US-Mexico border. They have done this every week for 24 years without fail.

We took our fight for #dignity & #humanrights to the #SCOTUS by filing an amicus curiae brief in a major police shooting case, Barnes v. Felix, to hold law enforcement including #CBP, accountable for decades of unchecked killings & abuse.
