    . : “President Biden has spoken a lot about rectifying racial injustice, and many of these unjust deportations from the prior administration are against Black and brown immigrants." Our friends deserve a policy that is humane, accessible, and fair.

    Thank you to & for their leadership, and the 29 other members of Congress who are urging to end the deadly Remain in Mexico policy. Asylum is a human right.

    The Remain in Mexico policy does not represent our values and should be permanently terminated. That is why and I led a bicameral letter urging to end MPP and decline to reimplement any iteration of this policy that deters refugees from seeking safety.

    NAKASEC says NO to racist anti-immigrant policies and Biden’s smart wall that put our civil liberties at risk. Congress must pass a CLEAN pathway to citizenship with NO anti-immigrant policy. Thread (1/5)

    NEW REPORT: "Ensuring Equal and Enduring Access to Asylum" lays out six arguments for why gender must be added as an independent basis-the 6th ground-for asylum under US law. By explicitly naming gender, we say *all people* deserve equal access to safety.

    A “lite” version of MPP is just a “lite” version of Trump’s xenophobic immigration policies. Why should we continue a failed policy that denied asylum seekers safety and security as their cases were adjudicated? Biden must end this policy.
