NEW: Under Biden, ICE extended contracts for troubled immigration jails in 2024, paving the way for Trump's mass deportation plans. All those facilities have faced allegations of "horrific" conditions. Part 2 of my investigation for @GuardianUS: theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…
.@Guardian story out today on our vote of no confidence in CEO Margaret Huang. SPLC Union members had heartfelt things to say about how the layoffs devastated them and our communities. Anonymous @splcenter leadership only had nonsensical corporate-speak. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…
For the @dallasnews, my friend and colleague @Sarah_M_Rich and I are out with a new piece getting to the root of this country’s collective misunderstanding of our past and current immigration policy. I hope you’ll find a moment to read this weekend: dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
🧵 Southern Poverty Law Center lays off employees amid restructuring Entire Immigrant Justice Project (IJP) was gutted, a significant blow to #immigration justice! As previous media strategist for SPLC IJP, here's a thread of their significant work: apnews.com/article/splc-a…
SPLC leadership is leaving migrants hung out to dry in states that are already resource deprived, and right before the likely election of a fascist who will undoubtedly rely on these same states to enact his campaign of mass detention and deportation.
Not that anyone has let data get in the way of immigration policy lately, but this seems a good time to remember some impt info recently released from TRAC, as it undermines much of the rationale for the Biden Admin's new rules.
ICYMI: Some v important data to add a dose of evidence to the border debate, which has no shortage of rhetoric & fearmongering but *is* short on facts. And those facts are compelling! 2/3 of asylum applicants in court found legally entitled to remain. More from @TRACReports⬇️
By reviving a Trump-era asylum ban, President Biden has abandoned our obligations to provide people fleeing persecution, violence, and authoritarianism with an opportunity to seek refuge in the U.S. My full statement on @POTUS' executive action:
Notable - from nearly five years ago:
Trump is fighting tooth & nail to deny those fleeing dangerous situations their right to seek asylum in our nation. We should uphold our moral responsibility & enforce our immigration laws with dignity—not turn away those fleeing violence, war, & poverty. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/f…
I had a great conversation with @ryangrim on @theintercept's #Deconstructed podcast about my book, The Case for Open Borders, out next week from @haymarketbooks We touched on the current wheel-spinning "debate" about immigration reform, and much else. theintercept.com/2024/02/02/ope…

The Case for Open Borders
Open immigration policies represent a strategic approach to addressing the migration crisis, argues journalist John Washington in a new book.
🚨NEW: Among other alarming reports from the White House, we are hearing that the #Biden admin is considering mandatory detention of asylum seekers, including families with children. Our new fact sheet outlines why this CAN NOT happen. 👇👇👇 humanrightsfirst.org/library/mandat…
New @NIJC policy brief abt inhumane & deadly conditions in @ICEgov detention, exposing flawed inspection process & how the system is beyond repair. Logical conclusion: punitive detention for people in civil immigration proceedings should end (thread 1/) immigrantjustice.org/research-items…
Haven't updated this one in a while either. Using FOIA data from @TRACReports (thanks @ackocher): Here's asylum grant rates in U.S. immigration courts in fy 2022—a chart that always shows a stunning disparity. Data table: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Chart: borderoversight.org/2023/09/04/asy…
People detained at the Stewart Detention Center and immigrants’ rights advocates have been exposing inhumane conditions for over a decade. Documented abuses include inept mental health care, use of solitary confinement, unsanitary conditions, medical neglect, and more.

SPLC statement by @efrencolivares about death of Salvador Vargas, 61-year-old Mexican man in custody of U.S. #Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia. His death marks 9th death at facility since 2017. splcenter.org/presscenter/sp…
NEW: Another man reportedly detained at the Stewart Detention Center — one of the biggest ICE jails — died on April 4 in a nearby hospital. Stewart is the deadliest ICE facility in the country. ICE's press release: ice.gov/news/releases/… 🧵on Stewart's troubling history:
BREAKING: Another migrant has died at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia. 61-year-old Salvador Vargas from Mexico. At least 11 migrants have died at Stewart. Two by suicide. Yet the Biden administration has refused to close this deadly ICE prison. Shut down Stewart now!
😡!!!
The first border bill the House GOP are set to vote on would impose permanent mandatory expulsions at EVERY border/airport for EVERYONE without a visa or valid entry document—even a child crossing alone or a baby found abandoned, no exceptions. It would be a total end to asylum.
Sen @ossoff: "What would you say to the women who went through this? ICE Health Service Corps Asst. Director Stewart Smith: "It's disheartening." Ossoff: "It's disheartening? Dr. Smith, you have full responsibility, we've established that. This is worse than disheartening."
🚨 The number of people in immigration detention has DOUBLED under @POTUS. There are now 30,111 people detained in abusive immigration detention centers across the country—reflecting an increase of 112% since Biden took office last year. This is an outrage. #FreeThemAll
