Recently, we've seen ICE target and arrest survivors at courthouses, who have shown up to access legal remedies like a restraining order. This is yet another weapon added to the arsenal of abuse

Example: Last year, Ms. Gonzalez, a trans undocumented woman from TX, was arrested at the courthouse while seeking a protective order. It's widely believed that her abuser tipped off ICE to make the arrest #SurvivedAndPunished #AbolishICE #FreeThemAll

We also see how criminalized survivors are funneled into immigration jail immediately after gaining their freedom from jail and prisons: Nan-Hui Jo, an immigrant survivor, was incarcerated again from one jail to another.

Immigration courts are overseen by the Department of Justice. Jeff Sessions, a man too racist to become a fed judge, a man with nativist, white supremacist groups, is in charge of overseeing immigration courts.

Recently, DOJ announced restricting asylum for survivors of domestic violence and gang violence. This is devastating esp for women, queer, trans, and GNC ppl who are disproportionately affected by both DV and gang violence.
