This beautiful moment is brought to you by the pro bono attorneys at Catholic Legal Services. Help us continue to keep families together like the Gonzalezes by giving on #GiveMiamiDay. givemiamiday.org/cclsmiami

Nearly 9,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been kicked out without court hearings at the border. (source: CNN, 9/11/20 article) Even in the midst of a global pandemic, the attorneys at Catholic Legal Services are fighting to ensure the safety of children. #GiveMiamiDay2020

The smiles say it all! Being with our loved ones is more important than ever. The Gonzalez siblings fled gang violence in Honduras. With the help of Catholic Legal Services pro bono attorneys, they applied for asylum in the US. #GiveMiamiDay #KeepFamiliesTogether

It’s time to #EndSIJSBacklog.

We are proud to have joined the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Backlog Project Coalition to #EndSIJSBacklog. The SIJS backlog leaves thousands of immigrant children vulnerable to deportation, despite having legal SIJS status. Learn more: sijsbacklog.com

Thousands of immigrant children are caught in the #SIJSBacklog, leaving them undocumented for years despite US gov deeming them eligible to apply for green cards. #EndSIJSBacklog USCIS DOJ EOIR U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security U.S. Department of Justice

Tens of thousands of SIJS beneficiaries now face a wait of multiple years before they can apply for lawful permanent residence due to annual employment-based visa limits and per-country caps on green cards. #EndSIJSBacklog Homeland Security U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement USCIS DOJ EOIR U.S. Department of Justice

Because of the SIJS Backlog, high school graduates must delay college studies. Young people lacking financial support are denied employment authorization. Children in foster care struggle to become independent. #EndSIJSBacklog Homeland Security U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement USCIS DOJ EOIR U.S. Department of Justice

Overloaded immigration court dockets are clogged with cases of those caught in the SIJS backlog. Simple requests for a continuance turn into mini-trials that strain court resources, and worse, place these youth at risk of deportation. #EndSIJSBacklog DOJ EOIR

Common sense solutions exist to #EndSIJSBacklog USCIS ➡️ New Employment Authorization Document category for SIJS Youth ➡️ Integrate EAD and protection from deportation provisions for SIJS Youth

We need community support –– not detention! @FLImmigrant Southern Poverty Law Center The GEO Group is a for-profit private prison with a track record of abuse & neglect. President Donald J. Trump Alejandro Mayorkas we are asking you to end private prison contracts now! #CommunitiesNotCages #FamiliesBelongTogether
