Troops in our streets. ICE raids in our neighborhoods. Families living in fear. These are the outcomes of enforcement-first immigration policies. We can and must choose a different path—one rooted in #humanity. Take action: humanrightsfirst.quorum.us/campaign/notof…

Thank you Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez for leading today’s press conference against a bill that guts protections for children, refugees, and survivors of persecution. Protecting lives and rights should never be a partisan issue.

Yesterday, we rallied with partners against Trump’s reconciliation bill. Despite its passage today, we’ll keep fighting for human rights—in court, in detention centers, and on the frontlines. As our CEO Uzra Zeya said, “We will continue to welcome with dignity.”

This #IndependenceDay, we reflect on what freedom means for all of us. We must live up to the promise of freedom for all who live here, because until all of us are free, none of us are free. Let's continue to build a more just and equitable society for everyone.

Rubio's mass firing of 1,300+ State Dept. staff is an attack on U.S. diplomacy & global human rights. As Uzra Zeya said, this "Friday morning massacre" weakens America & empowers autocrats. Congress must act to stop this assault on our national security. humanrightsfirst.org/library/mass-l…
