ICE raids don’t create safety. They create fear. They make parents scared to go to work, scared to take their kids to school, scared to seek care. (1/3)

The State Dept says “Do Not Travel,” yet is forcing 350,000 Haitians with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to return in weeks. This is cruel, tears families apart, and damages our economy. We won’t stop fighting for permanent protections. #TPSjustice

The people who nurture and protect our children should be celebrated, not targeted. Yet Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda continues to put child care workers at risk.

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