“President Biden just slammed the door on refugees. By saying he will abide by the historically and incredibly low limit for refugee admissions set by Trump, he has betrayed his promise." - Veena Iyer, Executive Director of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

Joe Biden has said migrants deserve equal access to the vaccine. But poor planning has meant barely any ICE detainees are getting it, despite their much, much higher coronavirus risk. I talked with detainees about what it's like to sit and wait for Covid. independent.co.uk/news/world…
Thank you @The_Advocates for compiling this report on Human rights concerns in MN jails for people in ICE detention. We were proud to contribute to this work and to continue in the fight for abolition. theadvocatesforhumanrights.o…

Since starting vaccines in MN, compared with white Minnesotans age adjusted mortality for the following communities went:
▪️ Black: ⬇️ 0.02x
▪️ Asian: ⬆️ 1.5x
▪️ Indigenous: ⬆️ 0.6x
▪️ Latinx: ⬆️ 0.4x
It’s getting worse. 5/

Sahan Journal is excited to announce a new video series to help make COVID-19 vaccine information more accessible for immigrant communities.
We’ve prepared four related videos–in Somali, Spanish, Hmong & English–to answer your questions about the vaccine. sahanjournal.com/covid-19-va…
En Minnesota, Las personas Latinx han murió 6x más frequente de COVID comparada al resto de los habitantes.
Las reglas de @GovTimWalz negan la vacuna a todos los trabajadores esenciales, y van a peorar esta disparidad. #VaccineEquity
Please read, share, and sign of you agree.
Latinx Minnesotans (similar to Black, Indigenous, and Asian immigrant communities) have died at a rate 6x higher than white Minnesotans and we have to make sure that they have urgent access to the vaccine. Thank you @md4healthequity

In MN there is no centralized oversight of the medical care being provided to people in jail or prison which leads to substandard conditions and illnesses especially during a pandemic.
It’s time we change that. @ACLUMN @The_Advocates @MIHA_MN
While no one died, a doctor who reviewed medical records says detainees received substandard care. Critics are pushing for increased state oversight: sahanjournal.com/coronavirus… by @JoeyPeters

MASS INCARCERATION MUST END, and until it does, MN officials must act NOW with:
1. Timely vaccine access for incarcerated people
2. Independent medical oversight of healthcare of all incarcerated people in MN. @MNReformer

Thank you @uche_blackstock for sharing! @mnhealth and @GovTimWalz please help MN lead by ensuring everyone incarcerated in our state (including those held by ICE) have URGENT access to the COVID vaccine. @MIHA_MN
If you are an expert in healthcare/public health/law and are appalled that the @CDCgov’s Advisory Committee has not explicitly prioritized incarcerated populations be offered the vaccine, please consider signing the attached letter from @UCLA_Law.

Add your voice to this plea, ICE detainees must be released.#COVIDー19 outbreak in #Kandiyohi
Today we joined a letter to local, state, and federal leaders demanding the release of ICE detainees from the Kaniyohi County Jail. There is a COVID-19 outbreak in the facility and they simply cannot keep people safe or healthy. Read the letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
The state of MN has failed to protect our immigrant neighbors from HUMAN RIGHTS and MEDICAL ETHICS violations against ICE detainees in Kandiyohi county.
Thank you to the organizations fighting for health and justice. @ourhealthmn @NoCagesMn @ISAIAHMN @ACLUMN @MIRACMN

Incarcerated/detained people don't have the option to socially distance. They deserve equitable, voluntary access to the COVID-19 vaccine -- they deserve the same standards for priority access as the general population.
