Latest Migration News
Amid wars, economic crises, and natural disasters fueled by the global climate emergency, hundreds of millions of people have been forced to flee their homes in hopes of safety and a better life.
The right to seek asylum is enshrined in international and US law. Nevertheless, Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election in a campaign that went all in on racist rhetoric against migrants. He has vowed mass deportations and threatened to revive the discriminatory Muslim travel ban during his second administration.
The escalated deportation schemes come despite overwhelming evidence of human rights abuses at immigrant detention facilities, including torture, solitary confinement, forced sterilizations, and family separations. Communities have reported increased racial profiling, surveillance, and police violence in the heavily militarized borderlands over successive administrations.
Fears are also growing for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status programs, which provide opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people who have resided for years in the US.
Immigrants’ rights groups and allies are fighting back and calling for a pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. Many argue the US owes a moral debt to their communities due to the legacy of American intervention and destabilization in their places of birth.
