On International Migrants Day, we stand in solidarity with migrants worldwide. We call for the recognition and respect of their fundamental human rights at international borders, an immediate end to the detention of migrant children and families, and a firm rejection of all forms of racism and xenophobia.

After his wife and children, including newborn twi

After his wife and children, including newborn twins, were suddenly deported to Mexico by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a Texas man is fighting to get his family back.

Federico Arellano Jr, a US citizen, saw his wife, Christina Salazar, and their four children be taken into custody on 11 December, just three months after Salazar had given birth to their twins in Houston.

Salazar, 23, and her children were put on a plane at Houston’s George Bush airport bound for Reynosa, Mexico – a place where they had no contacts and no way of getting money, according to the family’s lawyers. Lawyers also said it was cold the night Salazar and her children were detained and they were not allowed to get their coats.

By birthright citizenship under US law, the twins are US citizens since they were born within the country and at least one of their parents is a citizen.

Salazar was born in Mexico. She and her two older children were awaiting immigration hearings. Arellano Jr told local Houston news outlet KHOU the family had missed an immigration hearing on 9 October, when Salazar had been recovering from the emergency cesarean section she had had to deliver the twins.

Torres told KHOU: “This case shouldn’t have gone to this extreme. There were options, legal options, that were available, and he was not given those opportunities. They thought that they were complying and doing as they were told. And it turns out that they were not.”

Why does @GlobalXAirlines continue to use their pl

Why does @GlobalXAirlines continue to use their planes and King County Airport to help ICE deport people from Northwest Detention Center, a place where GEO profits at the expense of immigrant lives to the point that some detained people have lost their life, others have attempted to end their life, and dozens have gone on a hunger strike?
Today 26 people were taken from NWDC where the 13th hunger strike of 2024 is still happening and people have gone more than half of the month without food. But that’s not the only way we continue to see companies profit from the criminalization of immigrants—we are also seeing an increase in the amount of people released with surveillance technology. ALL forms of detention must end!

Meet Jose Fernando Chavez: “My statement is I wa

Meet Jose Fernando Chavez: “My statement is I want to say thanks to the public for their support. I’m from El Salvador. I was born in the time of war in El Salvador. When I was 8 years old, my father passed away. I have five siblings. I have three sisters and two brothers. My mom could not take care of us. I was kicked out of the house. I was raised in the streets. I learned how to survive on my own. Imagine, a kid who was only 8 years old. I would throw away trash to make a bit of money

In 2021, I came to the U.S to look for help. I continue to thank God for helping me come to the U.S after the many years of suffering that I went through in El Salvador. Once I got here, I made sure to push forward. I worked. I lived in Seattle, WA. I would help out my family. I never committed a crime here. But they got me. I was driving one day, but a police car pulled me over. I didn’t know much know English. I understood that they were asking me for my documents. I gave the police officer my ID. This is when the police officer called ICE. They told me to wait in my car. They handcuffed me and brought me here to the detention center in Tacoma. I’ve been here for 2 years.

I hope my statement can reach the right people because I’m not the only one who is suffering, my wife and two kids are also suffering as well. Please help me by providing me support this way I can have a second chance in life and be with my family.”
