MPP is the latest turn of cruelty visited on refugee families. Families who plead for asylum are rounded up & deposited en masse on the bridge forced to return to Mexico while they wait on their hearings - a dangerous no go zone according to US officials.https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/sheriff-asking-residents-not-to-cross-border-because-of-intense-shootings …

The families are easily targeted by cartel gangsters (thanks to MPP) and placed at risk of being robbed, kidnapped, and worse. Our lawyers are forced to travel to Mexico to meet with our clients at secret locations for safety, a not appealing journey.https://twitter.com/ricardo_de_anda/status/1208864175037902848?s=20 …

Ricardo de Anda @ricardo_de_andaOur clients have been assaulted, raped, robbed and kidnapped. The criminals have found refugees returned to Mexico to be easy marks. Dumped as a group at the bridge on the Mexican side, with nowhere to go, they are helpless and easy pickings. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1WV1DY?__twitter_impression=true …Show this thread2 replies 52 retweets 62 likesShow this thread -

We now find ourselves in the Regime's tent courthouse in Laredo, teeming with single mothers and young children, like our clients desperately seeking protection from grave dangers. With one exception - our clients are the only families with legal counsel.https://twitter.com/ricardo_de_anda/status/1208864182688288768?s=20 …

Ricardo de Anda @ricardo_de_andaThe tent courthouses feel look like family court. Childless adult refugees are assets for the regime's mass-incarcerators & are jailed. Children with a single parent are liabilities, as the children cannot be so easily incarcerated. They are placed in MPP and returned to Mexico. pic.twitter.com/8B6olcN7MIShow this thread1 reply 44 retweets 53 likesShow this thread -

#DontLookAway. Until we dismantle the Regime's illegal & unconscionable asylum policies, we must struggle as best we can to protect children, because MPP is a continuation of asylum policies based on deterrence by targeting innocent children with cruelty:https://twitter.com/BuddJenn/status/1210986149272936448?s=20 …Ricardo de Anda added,
Jenn Budd ✊🏻 @BuddJennHearing from multiple sources that separation never ended. Many are being accused of “fake” families. Thinking they may be classifying children as “unaccompanied” when they are not. Would explain this absurd high numbers for FY2019. Reporters please work on this. https://twitter.com/ricardo_de_anda/status/1210939134002335747 …2 replies 73 retweets 106 likesShow this thread -

We shield our MPP family clients while we fight the Regime at the tent by housing them in the relative safety of Monterrey. We need help. Our clients are single mothers with young children who are mostly penniless & would otherwise end up on the streets.https://twitter.com/ricardo_de_anda/status/1208864172957548544?s=20 …

Ricardo de Anda @ricardo_de_andaWe've taken MPP head-on & represent refugee families at the Laredo tent-courthouse. Our returned to Mexico clients are standing before the jaws of hell in Nuevo Laredo, at the almost complete mercy of criminal gangs. Please help us shield them. https://www.gofundme.com/f/1ujljsgv00?sharetype=teams&member=3401522&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&pc_code=tw_co_dashboard_a&rcid=b3d5fb2ae8754bed8435ed72deb05206 …@gofundme pic.twitter.com/LFamDTG80mShow this thread1 reply 43 retweets 54 likesShow this thread -
Fighting the Regime in the tents is no easy task. Along with proving a family's seminal asylum claim of fear to return to their country, we also must now litigate the family's fear to return to Mexico, as well as seek entry through bond while their case is litigated - and appeals

We provide legal services pro bono. However, our clients must rely on the
#resistance to fight the Regime's illegal policy of family cruelty. Please consider helping these families stay off the dangerous streets of the border & out of harm's way.https://www.gofundme.com/f/ShieldRefugeeFamilies?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet …1 reply 48 retweets 60 likesShow this thread -
