New today from Francesca D'Annunzio: “This moment calls for compassion and meaningful immigration reform that prioritizes saving lives. The future of humanity depends on our response.”

in case anyone else with a h-1b also loses their job unexpectedly (this is 6 months old for me now so i feel pretty ok sharing it):
- identify your 'special' skill set
- identify 8-10 people you know who have great job titles in well known orgs who can write letters about how great you are
- find a great immigration lawyer
- incorporate a company doing the thing in your special skill set
- put some money in the company's bank account
- apply for a O-1 visa within 60 days
“Spain will legalise about 300,000 undocumented immigrants per year over the next three years as it seeks to expand its labour force in the face of an ageing population, Migration Minister Elma Saiz told reporters.”
“’Spain has to opt between being an open, prosperous country or being a closed and poor one, and we have chosen the former,’ Saiz said.”
"Spain's economy is the fastest-growing in the EU."
Hi, if you are an immigrant to the US and you don't have lots of resources ($ or access to lawyers), I am happy to do a call with you to tell you about what I know, and to also help you look at immigration resources together. DM me
A federal appeals court on Tues said the #Trump admin did not have to comply for now with a judge’s order to give #DueProcess to scores of #Venezuelan #immigrants who were deported to #ElSalvador under a wartime #law, the #AlienEnemiesAct.
The ruling, by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, came one day before the admin was supposed to outline for a lower-court judge how to allow nearly 140 deported #Venezuelans to challenge their expulsion.

"One of the ppl arrested this week -was arrested coming out of a church service -no criminal record -had a job at a local tire store -an ankle monitor so #ICE knew where he was at all times & still in immigration court.
Does that make us safer?"
-A R Melnick
The Trump admin isn't prioritizing detaining & deporting criminals, many of those they're arresting are undoc. #immigrants w/o criminal records -filling jobs needed for the economy.
Amplify their cruelty & dishonesty.

Good morning.
Apologies for the vivid imagery this early in the morning, but I figured we could all use a pick me up.
What a world that this is, indeed, good news.

This is what bothers me most about this #ICE bullshit
These guys have no tags on their cars, faces are covered/ sunglasses, internet mall tacticool gear, and they are abducting people
Who are they? Or rather, what #terrorist paramilitary mischief can be done under the guise of "#deportation raids" by racists, gangs, etc
But I love the energy of the woman filming this shameful travesty, calling out their bullshit
They came for my caregiver's aunt. She's been here since she was 13. She has teenage citizen children.
You're telling me this person who made her life here doesn't belong because what, she didn't do the paperwork? Get fucked #Nazis #ICE #immigration #USpol
50/50/1 is a decentralized national protest/movement fighting for our democracy, our constitutional rights, and to oppose the alt-right fascism that has been growing in this country. It is completely grassroots, organized by volunteers and participants around the country.
On February 5th & 17th, Salt Lake City, UT was one of at least 50 simultaneous protests across the country that resulted in no violent incidents and organized to oppose the authoritarian actions of Donald Trump. On March 4th, we will be Marching Forth Against Tyranny to defend our freedom, individuality, and our constitutional republic.
Please join us at the South Steps of the Utah State Capitol Building to get involved! Please leave weapons at home, as this is a peaceful protest through a peace-seeking movement. Feel free to bring the whole family to make their voice rightfully heard. Parking will be potentially limited, so please carpool or walk where possible.
We're peacefully protesting the illegal and unconstitutional actions by this administration and Elon Musk.
Remove Elon Musk from all government departments and investigate any and all unauthorized access into sensitive government systems
Condemn a US Takeover of Gaza
Respect the constitution and the judiciaries lawful orders and TRO's (Temporary Restraining Orders) which order the Trump Administration to release impounded funds.
Oppose the SAVE act which would make it more difficult to register to vote
Defend our LGBTQ+ community
Defend Ukrainians from unprovoked Russian aggression
Protect Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid for the American People
Repeal massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires
Takahe has limited support for this type: See Original Event#Venezuelans granted #TPS sue #Trump admin for revoking protected status

"Cute winter boots" is one of the code phrases being used on TikTok to alert people to ICE (U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement) sightings following last week's announcement on the start of mass deportations.
@AxiosNews has the details:

#MarcoRubio posted on social media that he sent 17 people to #CECOT in #ElSalvador overnight, he claims that they are all Tren de Aragua or MS-13 members.
If they were *deported* under the questionably legal (US is not at war) #AEA, then it was in violation of the court order. Otherwise they would have to have had final orders of removal.

The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations.

Still a work in progress. I need to add more shots, caption all of them, write an intro. I'd like to find a place to exhibit them.

Undocumented immigrants in the US have substantially lower crime rates than US-born citizens. Immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than US-born citizens.

The blitz of Trump's immigration executive orders has continued, so fast and sweeping that it’s been hard to keep up, much less gauge their potential impact.
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune explain the most consequential changes he made on Day 1.

“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in different rooms”
I would argue no one should travel to the U.S. right now because it’s important to vote with your wallet. Don’t spend tourist dollars there
Another reason? The threat of being detained by ICE. It’s not safe in America:
