We filed a lawsuit challenging USCIS' new policy change that penalizes eligible applicants for applying for a green card inside the U.S. This radical change could lead to families being separated and workers being pushed out of their jobs while their application processes.

The House needs only one more signature to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act. Urge your representative to permanently protect millions of Dreamers and TPS holders. Take action now: immigrationjustice.quorum.us/campai…

Short-term protections like #TPS, parole & deferred action have helped fill that void. Congress's failure to act left the executive branch w/ little choice but to use these temporary measures to protect people. (4/6)

American Immigration Council @immcouncil.org · 10/08/2026

This crisis didn’t begin with the termination of #TPS. For decades, Congress has failed to update our immigration laws. This means many longtime residents have virtually no way to gain permanent status, no matter how long they’ve lived here or how deeply rooted they are. (3/6)

Dreamers were brought here as children. Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure recipients have built lives in the U.S. for decades. Now, the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda is putting them at risk. Tell Congress to act: ow.ly/EAgN50ZqTzJ

Today the Supreme Court BLOCKED President Trump's efforts to eliminate birthright citizenship. The 14th amendment is clear: if you're born in the United States, you're an American citizen.

Today, the Supreme Court delivered a devastating blow to asylum rights in the United States. In a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court ruled that the Trump administration may turn back asylum seekers at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border.

A forward-thinking approach to immigration enforcement is essential to sustain Texas’s food production, protect businesses, and ensure supply chain continuity.

With Texas’s food and agriculture industry generating $6.5B in exports, immigrants play a vital role in keeping the economic engine running.

Of the total immigrant workforce, nearly 60% are undocumented across agriculture, wholesale, retail, and the food service industry.

The state’s food system faces persistent labor shortages, and immigrants fill critical frontline roles across food sectors.

American Immigration Council @immcouncil.org · 16/06/2026

Across the food sector, 400,500 immigrant workers make up nearly 25% of the workforce.

American Immigration Council @immcouncil.org · 16/06/2026

In Texas, one of the nation’s leading agricultural producers, a shift in immigration policy goes beyond affecting its workers. It shapes food availability, prices, and economic stability. 🧵

Congress is moving to allocate another $70B to ICE and CBP through 2029. This is on top of the $170 billion it already provided last year. This isn’t a funding gap. It’s an accountability gap. Tell Congress to oppose any further funding for ICE and CBP: ow.ly/sLjh50Z7EbK

Our laws are clear—no one should ever be sent back to a place where their life is at risk. We're at the Supreme Court with our co-counsel CGRS, Center for Constitutional Rights, Democracy Forward, & Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection to defend access to asylum for all who need it.

The government doesn’t get to hide how it runs its mass deportation machine & subverts due process. We’re in court today with our partners @latinojustice.bsky.social & @democracyforward.org to get more information about how immigration courts may be collaborating with ICE’s mass deportation agenda.

LAWSUIT: W/ @immigrantjustice.bsky.social @democracyforward.org & others We’ve filed to block a rule that would gut people's right to appeal bad decisions by immigration court judges. This puts even more people at risk of wrongful deportations. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/press-releas...

The number of people held in ICE detention on any given day rose by over 75% in 2025, with a record 73,000 people being held in detention as of mid-January. And with Congress authorizing $45 billion in new detention funding, the system could more than triple in size over the next four years.

When immigration enforcement agents show up at schools it has a chilling effect on children & communities. As Nayna Gupta told Congressman Bobby Scott: Congress must enact clear restrictions to stop immigration enforcement in sensitive areas like schools, daycares, places of worship, & courthouses.

The Trump administration is rapidly expanding immigration detention—with virtually no transparency or accountability. This massive expansion has been fueled by historic funding poured into ICE last year. Tell Congress to hold the immigration detention system accountable 👉 ow.ly/klEj50Y6xmB

Arrests of people with no criminal record surged by 2,450% in Trump’s first year. This was driven by increases in tactics like “at-large” arrests, roving patrols, worksite raids, and re-arrests of people attending immigration court hearings or ICE check-ins.

The Trump administration's mass deportation agenda isn't making our communities safer. As @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social told @padilla.senate.gov, it's making our communities LESS safe.

The Trump administration has a new mass deportation playbook. We’ve seen it in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Charlotte. And it’s coming to more cities. @daralind.bsky.social explains 👇

American Immigration Council @immcouncil.org · 19/09/2025

The Trump administration continues to use safety as a pretext for mass deportation—but it is mass deportation itself that makes all Americans LESS safe. Watch @naynagupta.bsky.social's testimony at @jayapal.house.gov's shadow hearing on the impact of mass deportations on our communities.
