Policy at Florida Immigrant Coalition. From 🇦🇷
- The Supreme Court will hear a case over birthright citizenship this week. If we allow this right to be taken away, we will disenfranchise millions of people —Americans in every sense of the word — who are guilty of nothing more than being born to immigrant parents.
- Terminating TPS for Afghans while giving white South Africans of all people refugee status are decisions motivated by racism, plain and simple.
- We are deeply alarmed following the recent reporting indicating that the Trump administration has terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals of #Afghanistan, a decision that puts more than 9,000 individuals at risk of deportation as early as May. 📰 Read our statement: bit.ly/42K6z0e
- Signs now displayed at Miami-Dade’s North Dade landfill. Country increasingly reminiscent of the anti-immigrant persecutory world in Children of Men.
- Arresting an elected mayor of a major city because they are that desperate to conceal conditions inside ICE detention centers
- In a move that surprises no one and confirms how public universities in Florida have become tools for political patronage, Jeanette Nuñez, former Lt. Governor under DeSantis, is announced as the sole finalist to become president of Florida International University.
- The reason why a lot of these contracts deputizing police officers to conduct immigration enforcement were largely phased out in 2012 was due to a barrage of civil rights lawsuits that included U.S. citizens being detained by ICE — similar to what just happened in Florida.
