By 2024: El Paso sector had become the💔deadliest place for migrants to cross along the entire US-MX #border.

Jan 2023-Aug 2024: 299 human remains were reported in the sector -most of any sector along the S border, >2X the# of cases reported during the 20 mos prior -before El Paso had adopted OL⭐.

Take breaks, the news is😭...

"Congress appropriated enough💰for ICE to detain 41.5K ppl at any given time.

The Trump admin is detaining nearly 54K ppl, of which 1000s are ppl with no criminal records who, in any previous admin, wouldn't be in #detention."

“DON'T FORGET:🚨It’s now been 92 days since Andry & Neri were imprisoned in El Salvador w/o trial by the Trump admin.

Despite being clearly innocent of any wrongdoing, they haven’t even been allowed a phone call to tell their loved ones they are alive.” 6/15

“Hernandez & Alvarado have now been imprisoned for 37 days. Neither committed any crime. Both were following the rules.

#ICE thought their tattoos were proof of gang membership & imprisoned them SLV w/o a trial. 3/21

I've been cautious about describing what the Armed Forces have been doing as LE, given the concerns. But I genuinely can't think of another word to describe this. Despite not conducting arrests, they're clearly part of the ENF team.”

“It’s very violent, & it seems intentional." The Trump admin “is using LA as an example.”

Mena & another journalist were tear-gassed by men Mena said were HSI agents responding to protests after the #ICE raid targeting the HD area.

Emerging consensus: LA was chosen for a reason; the WH wanted this to be their staging ground.

“On the Dem side,🚨this has to be an unapologetic fight for #immigrants bc it’s a fight for US citizens now, too."

Univ of UT student C Dias Goncalves, 19 yrs old, gets pulled over for driving too close to a truck & is now💔in an #ICE #detention camp. She’s been in the US since she was 7.

For 2 days, the family didn’t know what happened, until she was able to call Sat. Parents: originally had a 6-mo tourist visa *overstayed.

"The Progressive Caucus is formally opposing both the stablecoin & market structure bills, which they think can get unified opposition among House Dems. Even crypto-friendly Dems have wavered based on🚨Trump #corruption.

Deported fam of 11-yr-old US citizen recovering from a rare brain tumor requests humanitarian parole.

“We’re fighting for my girl’s life."

Immigration authorities removed her from TX when they deported her undoc parents 4 months ago.

4 of her siblings, 3 of whom are also US citizens, were also sent to MX with the parents.

The girl’s health cond hasn't improved.
