On day one, President Biden released plans for executive actions and an immigration bill. This is the right focus, and could not be more urgent here in Texas. We look forward to working with the administration to write a bold, new chapter for our border communities.
ALT A picture of the Rio Grande with a quote from Astrid Dominguez, director for the ACLU of Texas' Border Rights Center that says: “President Biden’s prioritization of immigration issues on his first day in office is welcome news for all — especially here in Texas. For the past four years, border communities, immigrants, and people seeking asylum have been used as political pawns, dehumanized, and endured cruelty and abuse. The new administration must make urgent changes to end Trump’s horrific policies that continue to cause harm to so many people. The Biden-Harris administration must present a vision to border communities that promises immigrants and people of color a secure, bold new future. It simply can’t wait.”

It is unconscionable that Trump would travel to the border communities his administration has been attacking for four years to celebrate the wall and his racist anti-immigrant legacy.
We stand firmly with the people of the RGV in opposition to his visit. aclu.org/press-releases/aclu…

🗣️A border policy that restores the civil rights of border communities *and* upholds our values requires an end to walls, wasteful militarization, intrusive surveillance technology, and pulls Border Patrol's policing presence from U.S. communities. aclutx.org/en/news/biden-mus…

New story: The Trump administration is deporting women who have reported abuse by a Georgia gynecologist in immigration custody, potentially endangering a future investigation into the women's claims.

I've spent this year watching the places I love most in the world be bulldozed for the border wall. Sometimes I feel like I'm screaming from the top of my lungs, alone in the wilderness, about this travesty.
But today, my words in @nytimes tell the story:nytimes.com/2020/11/01/opini…

Last week, Border Patrol arrested a 15-year-old girl after undergoing surgery at a Texas hospital. Despite living in the U.S. her entire life, she now faces deportation.
No one should fear deportation for seeking healthcare, especially during a pandemic.

Border Patrol’s presence and intimidation tactics have no place at healthcare facilities.

CBP has no place in hospitals and Border Patrol checkpoints have no place in our border region.
This child should be released immediately and Border Patrol held accountable for its actions.

The news of the death of a migrant while in @CBPArizona custody is tragic and our thoughts are with his loved ones. Countless men, women, and children have died under the federal government’s custody and it highlights how dire the conditions in CBP’s facilities are.
