This is Bryan. After 3 yrs of separation from his mom due to Trump’s zero tolerance policy, he will finally reunite w/her this week. Despite such a traumatic experience, Bryan is fighting back by joining #TeamImmDef to help children like him know their rights.
After three years, Bryan will be reunited this week with his mom, who was deported after they were separated by the Trump administration in 2017. Three other families will also be reunited this week. More in our latest reporting here, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immigra…

#BRINGTHEMBACK After 125 days of torture, media reports of a potential prisoner swap may mean that our clients Andry, Maikel, Arturo, Ysqueibel, Miguel, Pedro, and Edwin are finally freed from CECOT. We are following reports closely and in contact with their families. No matter what comes next the facts remain: they were disappeared without due process by the U.S. government. reuters.com/world/americas/e…
We are closely following media reports about a prisoner swap, but have no confirmation yet. If reports are true, this is proof the Trump admin was lying in court and publicly about the custody of these men and who was in charge of their fates since the day they disappeared them,

Thank you @RepRobertGarcia for pushing Sec. Noem to answer: Is Andry alive? Today marks 60 days since Andry & others like him were disappeared to CECOT. If you gave ES $6M to incarcerate ppl, the door is open for you to ask about their wellbeing. #FreeAndry freeandry.org
Garcia to Noem: "Can you commit to just letting his mother know mother to mother if Andry is alive? He was given an asylum appointment by the United States government."

ICE is unprepared and disorganized and for vulnerable people like the 75-year-old Cuban man that died last week - their disorganization is deadly.
We are not overexaggerating when we say detention is deadly.
Humane immigration policy isn't a luxury - it's nonnegotiable.
A 75-year-old Cuban man died in ICE custody last week, the 13th detainee death reported by the agency in fiscal 2025, according to a notice sent to Congress and obtained by CBS News.
ICE reported 12 detainee deaths in the entirety of fiscal year 2024.

Girl: Yes, they almost stole my sister.

The basis of asylum is that ppl are fleeing danger, danger that is so serious they can't wait idly by for a foreign govt to help them at their leisure. "Do not come" reinforces the Trump/Miller agenda, instead of reimagining an immigration system that can #WelcomeWithDignity
"Do not come."
@VP @KamalaHarris said it in Guatemala.
@SecMayorkas said it to Cubans and Haitians.
Last night, @POTUS @JoeBiden said it again in response to people running for their lives.
It is heartless, and for the record, it doesn't work.

Thank you for speaking truth into Andry's name @RepBeccaB. Andry is not a threat to this country, he is an artist who sought safety in the U.S. In return he was put on a plane to ES' CECOT where he likely languishes as a gay man. 🚨Due process for all, NOT optics over evidence.
If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too.
We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

The zero-tolerance policy was a dark stain on U.S. immigration policy with lasting trauma that continues today. @jacobsoboroff was with us on the ground in response to the Trump admin's heinous decision to separate families. This is a must watch documentary and a sobering reminder that punitive immigration policy is destructive and doesn't work. #SaveAsylum
