Starting tomorrow, thousands of people with legal status in the U.S. will no longer have access to medical benefits. This includes federally funded Medicaid and CHIP, as well as SNAP. For our clients, this means losing access to support for their basic needs.

Pierre had recently lost his temporary protected status, along with ~350,000 Haitian immigrants living in the U.S. His death is a devastating indicator of the human consequences of the Trump admin's assault on the rights of immigrants. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones ❤️‍🩹

Colombia was hit by a powerful 7.4 earthquake yesterday in the San José del Palmar. Tremors were felt as far away as Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. As the death toll continues to rise, our hearts are with our colleagues, families of those who have lost their lives, and everyone impacted.

Legislation to restore TPS for Haiti has passed the House of Representatives, and the Senate must pass it now before it's too late. We have three days to take action. Call your Senators by July 27 and DEMAND to restore TPS for Haiti today.

While a recent Supreme Court ruling directly impacts 356,000 people, the Trump administration is likely to use the ruling to go after over 1 million TPS recipients. Learn more about TPS: hias.org/news/deep-dive-temporary-p…

For more than half of our country's history, HIAS has been there to welcome millions of new Americans with hope in their hearts for a chance at a new beginning. Our country has welcomed immigrants & refugees for generations. It's their stories and contributions that have made this country great.

Communities in Venezuela were hit by two major earthquakes last night, with one being the largest to hit the country since 1900. Our hearts are with everyone impacted — as the full scope of this crisis comes into focus, we will be there to support our clients & communities when they need us most.

The lesson of the M.S. St. Louis is clear: when we deny safety and support to those seeking refuge, people die. When our government slams the doors shut on today’s refugees, when our leaders instill fear within the inhabitants of this land, we have just two words: Never Again.

Our thoughts & support are with the Islamic Center of San Diego and all those affected by today's tragic attack. As a Jewish & humanitarian organization that has worked side by side with the people of San Diego to welcome & support refugees and immigrants, we are particularly saddened by this event.

A new rule from DHS requires asylum seekers to pay an annual fee to keep their application active. If they can't pay, they could face an immediate application rejection & deportation. This rule treats asylum seekers as a funding source for enforcement — not as what they are: people fleeing danger.

"Yom HaShoah calls us to do more than mourn. It asks us to remember — not just suffering, but resilience. Remembering my grandfather's story & others like it, is not only an act of memory. It's a commitment: to ensure that the door to safety stays open & that no one has to face the world alone."

The recent rhetoric from the U.S. government threatening that "a whole civilization will die tonight" is horrifying and unacceptable. Since the beginning of the war, innocent civilians have already paid a heavy price — thousands being displaced, injured, and killed. Let us be clear ⤵

As DHS deploys ICE agents to airports across the country with little to no training to support TSA staff, it's unclear whether the new mandate will also include immigration enforcement. This does not make us safer. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The news of the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI is nothing short of terrifying. Our hearts are with the greater Detroit community & our friends at Temple Israel, who are in shock today as another antisemitic attack on a Jewish institution and Jewish way of life makes headlines.

In the past few weeks, the Trump admin has targeted refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants, throwing hundreds of thousands of people into fear and trauma. Let's be clear: refugee rights are human rights. We all deserve the right to safety, home, stability, and community.

New USDA guidance makes it unclear whether refugees, asylees & SIVs with green cards will be forced to wait 5 years for benefits, despite U.S. law saying they’re exempt. This uncertainty is leaving families in limbo & prompting some states to consider blocking Legal Permanent Residents altogether.

For #WorldHumanitarianDay, we asked our colleagues one question: Why do you do this work? Their answers say it all 💭 Right now, humanitarian work has never been more critical — and we’ll keep showing up, because we believe all refugees deserve welcome and safety.

‼️ Two weeks and one day. That’s how close Elaheh and Mehran were to having a chance to rebuild their lives in safety. After fleeing Iran for their religion, they waited years in Malaysia with no rights, no healthcare, and no safety. Then Elaheh’s sister was approved to bring them to the U.S.

We are about to witness devastating impacts including mass detentions & deportations, food & healthcare access being stripped away for millions of people, and more. There's a long road ahead, but we will never stop fighting for the rights of refugees, asylees, and immigrants in the U.S. & beyond.

We stand with our immigrant communities in LA & across the country. This administration's use of warrantless arrests, sweeping ICE raids, and militarization goes against both our values as a nation & our constitutional rights. Repeat with us — Stop 👏 criminalizing 👏 immigrant 👏 communities

When we turned refugees away from the MS St. Louis, our leaders, government, and country became complicit in their fate. Today, we're witnessing the U.S. turn people back to the danger they're fleeing. History is urging us NOT to repeat our worst moments as a country. Will we listen?

The memories of those who perished when the MS St. Louis was denied entry to the U.S. call us to action for today’s refugees. When our government slams the doors shut on today’s refugees, when our leaders instill fear within the inhabitants of this land, we have just two words: Never Again.
