NO funding for Trump’s mass detention and deportations

Right now, Congress is taking the first steps of a process called budget reconciliation—a process that makes it easier for the party in power to drastically change how the government spends its money. One of the priorities of the current effort is to provide the staggering amount of resources needed to carry out the Trump administration’s plans for mass detention and deportations. Not only could this lead to hundreds of billions more dollars for immigration enforcement operations that separate families, disrupt communities’ entire social and economic infrastructure, and commit countless human rights abuses, but to do so Congress would also divert funding from programs and services that support everyone’s needs, like healthcare and food assistance. This is an outrage, but budget reconciliation can be a long and difficult process. You have an opportunity to make sure your elected officials do NOT approve this funding. Join us in urging your representatives to block the administration’s devastating attacks on immigrants by rejecting funding for enforcement, detention, and deportation throughout the budget reconciliation process.

Take Action: Stop Trump's Newest Scheme!

United We Dream

via #ACLU:

"The Trump administration is trying to dismantle the U.S. asylum system as we know it. One of the worst policies involves forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are decided – often sending people back to the very danger they fled.

"But we can fight back – and we must – by telling #USCongress to pass the #AsylumSeekersProtectionAct, which would defund this policy.

"Send a message to your representative now: https://www.aclu.org/supportasylumseekers

"Thanks."

Congress: Support Asylum Seekers

The Trump administration is trying to dismantle the U.S. asylum system as we know it. We can fight back by passing the Asylum Seeker Protection Act.

...just couldn't resist posting this #EditorialCartoon I ran across in #Spain's #20Minutos (week-)daily #newspaper...

"Trump vuelve a montar el pollo" translates to "Trump causes trouble again", but an automated translation is probably more fitting: "Trump reassembles the chicken". Ba-caw!

White nationalist Stephen Miller's sole purpose in the Trump administration is to normalize and institutionalize racist anti-immigrant hate. Congress must rein him in now.

Sign the petition: Demand the DOD IG to investigate border troop deployment NOW!

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are terrorizing migrants and people seeking refuge at the U.S. southern border, including by buildingTrump’s racist and unnecessary wall. And because Trump’s wall plans have been stymied, he’s creating border barriers one way or another: U.S. troops stationed at the border with weapons in hand; concentration camps to separate families simply seeking refuge; and new policies every day to keep people out. And now, Trump just sent 2,000 more military service-members on top of the 5,000 active-duty and reserve service-members already deployed to the U.S. southern border in their anti-immigrant crusade — even though the military is legally supposed to be kept separate from domestic law enforcement because of laws like the 140-year old Posse Comitatus Act. Moreover, Trump’s use of military service-members as political pawns is a tell-tale sign of authoritarianism, which further threatens our democracy. Throughout Trump’s presidency, the people of the U.S. have decried and documented numerous human rights abuses against migrants, including the caging, neglect, and death of children held in U.S. custody and the use of tear gas by border patrol agents against the peaceful “caravan” of people attempting to seek asylum at the border just last year. As migrants and asylum-seekers continue to be the target of Trump’s racist, xenophobic agenda, we need answers NOW. Sign the petition to demand the Department of Defense Inspector General investigate the use of the U.S. military at the U.S. southern border. Participating Organizations: Daily Kos Win Without War
