The SAVE Act would block millions of American citizens from voting. It failed before, and it must fail again. Tell your Senators: bit.ly/4tmVIor

It’s time to pressure the Senate for the next 48 hours to get #ICEOut of our communities. Tell your Senator to vote NO on DHS funding & hold the line until all demands are met.

The Senate will vote as soon as TOMORROW to increase funding for ICE & CBP.

We've already witnessed the deadly consequences of handing over $170 billion to these rogue agencies. We can’t let them get a single dollar more.

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 work continues. Support us: immdef.org

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.

“There was no way for them to do the aggressive kind of detention and deportation numbers [they want] without having to break a lot of due process and violate a lot of people's rights, which is exactly what we're seeing.”

Day laborers say they feel targeted over anti-loitering speakers installed in the parking lot of Home Depot in Cypress Park.

Aisha Wallace-Palomares captured the sentiment shared by day laborers and community organizers over these speakers at a recent press conference.

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

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.

The Trump administration is sending masked federal agents to round up our immigrant neighbors—even people with #DACA, who should be protected, are being detained.

Lawmakers must provide permanent protections. Tell your Senators to pass the DREAM Act:
