Today we remember the 6 men who died when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed. All had immigrated to the US, from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. 1/3

Grateful to join Forbes for an interview about the suspension of the US Refugee Admissions Program. As I told Maggie McGrath, we’ve been so heartened by the outpouring of support and encourage Americans to join us in advocating for this work of welcome 👇 globalrefuge.org/act-now/

Is this the end of refugee resettlement as we know it? It could be. But I don’t think that’s where our story ends. My closing thoughts from last night’s talk with Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs and Jeremy Konyndyk on the dismantling of the US Refugee Admissions Program and USAID.

"TPS has been a valuable tool for the [humanitarian] parolee population." Daniel Salazar of our Policy & Advocacy team joined the Afghanistan Project Podcast to discuss the reported termination of Temporary Protected Status for our Afghan allies.⤵️

A unanimous Supreme Court ruling. A federal judge’s order. The government’s own lawyers admitting a mistake.   And still Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in prison in El Salvador.   My thanks to Black Mommy Activist, PhD🎙 for an important conversation about this looming constitutional crisis. 👇

Thank you Denise Koch WJZ for an important conversation about the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — as well as its troubling implications for the checks and balances that safeguard our constitutional rights. Watch, share, and follow WJZ | CBS Baltimore for more details 👇

#LaterGram... The last days of #PLENGlobal25 need some celebrating! Board Member Alana Cantillo and immigration law experts Paulina Vera, Esq. of GW Law and Jill Marie Bussey of Global Refuge kicked off day 4. Their passion and expertise made their session absolutely riveting. 👏

So grateful to have Sonia Norton of No One Left Behind and Daniel Salazar of Global Refuge return to discuss last week's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Afghans at The Afghanistan Project Podcast. Please listen, share, and subscribe: youtu.be/--4tzaQBGT0?si…

Global Refuge is grateful to have supported this critical effort. Thank you to Rep. Jason Crow and Congressman Zach Nunn for their leadership and steadfast commitment to America's Afghan allies!

The TPS Afghanistan termination news is devastating. But this is not a moment to disengage. There are still protections and pathways for Afghan allies that Congress can act upon. Use this Global Refuge action alert to call your Member of Congress: globalrefuge.quorum.us/campaign/12471….

The Trump administration today announced a sweeping travel ban, fully restricting entry to nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan. Our full Global Refuge press release here. 🧵 1/ globalrefuge.org/news/global-re…

Refugees International .Global Refuge says it “remains concerned for vulnerable Afghans, particularly given the ongoing suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and the planned elimination of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) within the U.S. Department of State.”

“America's strength has never come from shutting people out. It's come from opening doors — carefully and responsibly — but with the courage to recognize the humanity in people.”

As I told NPR’s Morning Edition, the new Travel Ban is part of a much broader effort — one that has seen this administration move swiftly and systematically to close LEGAL pathways and protections across the immigration system. Link to full segment by Franco Ordoñez below

NEW: I joined MSNBC’s The Weekend to discuss the impact of this week’s SCOTUS ruling on birthright citizenship and beyond. Deeply grateful to Catherine Rampell, Ayman, Elise Jordan, and Antonia Hylton for such thoughtful questions on these important issues.

This Senate bill reshapes our immigration system not through reform, but through restriction alone. It devotes unprecedented resources towards a sprawling human incarceration machine, while stripping support from those who followed legal processes to seek safety. 🧵1/

The termination of TPS for Afghanistan went into effect last night, leaving up to 11,700 Afghan allies in the US without protection from deportation and, in many cases, without work authorization. #TPS4Afghans 🚨 ACT NOW: globalrefuge.org/TPS4Afghans Our full statement below 👇

Global Refuge was proud to endorse this bipartisan effort from Mike Quigley, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree 🇺🇸🇺🇦, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 and 30+ other MOCs. Ukrainians in the United States are facing lapses in status and work authorization. Action is urgently needed! 🚨

Lawmakers are drawing attention to Ukrainians falling out of status and work authorization after delays from an administrative pause by USCIS.

“The message seems clear: there will be extreme pushback on jurisdictions like MD who welcome immigrants, defend their rights under the law, and hold the federal gov’t accountable to its constitutional obligations,” said Krish O'Mara Vignarajah of Global Refuge. thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…
