"I am terrified that this pause will never end and I will not be able to be with my children in the United States."

I want to be able to
make plans for our
future, and I am unable
to do so, and I have no
idea when that will be
possible. I need my
children in the United
States to help me care
for my husband, who
suffered a stroke

earlier this year.

I carry the anxiety and
stress of this delay with
me every day. I am
terrified that this pause
will never end and I will
not be able to be with
my children in the
United States. Plaintiff in CLINIC v. Rubio

We're challenging the Trump admin's visa processing ban for people from 75 countries. A federal court struck it down, but we had to file an emergency motion to enforce the order because the gov't still wasn’t processing most visa apps, leaving plaintiffs separated from loved ones. Their stories ⤵️

As people struggle to cover medical bills, put food on the table or gas in the car, it's obscene that Congress is about to hand another $70+ Billion to ICE and CBP. If you want your tax dollars to be used to improve lives - not terrorize immigrants - let your Rep. know: bit.ly/49BSbJE

This image contains a comparison of spending options. At the top, it reads "This or That: Your Tax Dollars." Below, a choice is presented: "$71.6 Billion Dollars for Mass Deportations through Sept. 2029" versus "Medicaid for 2.5 Million People through Sept. 2029." The source is Kaiser Family Foundation. Logos of the National Immigration Law Center and National Priorities Project are at the bottom.

This image is an infographic titled "This or That: Your Tax Dollars." It compares $71.6 billion for mass deportations through September 2029 with providing full-time SNAP benefits for 9.4 million people through September 2029. The source is USDA. At the bottom, logos for the National Immigration Law Center and National Priorities Project are displayed.

This image is a comparison graphic titled "This or That" with a focus on tax dollar allocation. It contrasts $71.6 billion for mass deportations with funding for over 1.2 million more children in Head Start, both options extending through September 2029. The image is produced by the National Immigration Law Center and the National Priorities Project.

Text reads: "This or That: Your Tax Dollars. $71.6 billion dollars for mass deportations through Sept. 2029 or medical care for 1 million+ veterans through Sept. 2029. Source: Veterans Affairs."

With gas and grocery costs at a record high and as families struggle to make ends meet, Congress wants to dump $70 billion more into DHS's slush fund. People are demanding action on affordability, not another tidal wave of money for ICE and CBP violence. 📚 Read more: bit.ly/4weK2Wh
