Bishop-elect Michael Pham, a former refugee who recently became Pope Leo’s first bishop appointment, was among faith leaders to bear witness and support immigrants at their immigration court hearings on #WorldRefugeeDay last week.

No one was abducted that day. He said ICE agents “scattered and went away.”

On the occasion of #WorldRefugeeDay (June 20th), DW Data published a new piece that explains displacement (including a data repository).

Key insights:

Numbers are rising dramatically.

Most people are displaced internally.

Africa and the Middle East are most affected, but also parts of Europe.

90% of refugees come from only 10 countries.

New update from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition just now:
─────
On June 20, #WorldRefugeeDay, Palestinian climate campaigners, Search and Rescue workers, and civil society & activists launched The Madleen Declaration!

The Freedom Flotilla in the Mediterranean showed us clearly that border violence, environmental destruction, and the genocide in Palestine are all connected.

Civil society organisations and activists call for a transformative social, environmental and political alternative to a Mediterranean Sea torn apart by state, corporate, and neocolonial violence.

Together, we demand a shared home in which we all can thrive. In place of death and despair, we demand life and hope.

We couldn’t celebrate World Refugee Day. Not even Pride Month.

Ever since the South Sudan government told all queer refugees to leave the camp without any support, we’ve been living in fear. No protection, no shelter, just uncertainty and silence.

We are LGBTQ+ refugees abandoned and forgotten. Please don’t forget us.

🛟 Am Vorabend des #WorldRefugeeDay rettete die #OceanViking nach einem Notruf von #AlarmPhone 73 Menschen von einem Boot in Seenot in der maltesischen SRR.

Die ital. Behörden ordneten an, dass alle 73 Geretteten in #Savona an Land gehen sollen – über 1.130km vom Ort der Rettung entfernt.

Nach ihren traumatischen Fluchterfahrungen ist die Zuweisung entfernter Häfen unmenschlich. Sie haben ein Recht auf einen näheren Hafen!

Während Regierungen am #WorldRefugeeDay leere Worte sprachen, wurden in der Nacht zum Freitag 70 Menschen dem Ertrinken überlassen — @seawatchcrew hat sie gestern früh mit der #SeaEye5 gerettet.

"Wir kämpfen nicht nur, weil das System gewalttätig und ungerecht ist, sondern weil jeder Kampf, jeder Protest, jeder Solidaritätsakt uns einer Welt näher bringt, in der niemand illegal ist und niemand an den Grenzen sterben muss."

Darum waren wir gestern zum #WorldRefugeeDay mit @abolishfrontex in #Mainz.
