We need YOU! The American Immigration Council has set a goal to raise $5,000 by the end of September to power our work and transform our nation’s immigration policies. Our work is more critical than ever, and your support has a huge impact. Earlier this summer, we honored an incredible young poet, Angela. Her poem was inspired by her experience growing up in an immigrant family and her father’s journey from China to America. Her story and the work we do every day remind us that our country has a rich immigrant past—and a vibrant immigrant future. Help us write the story of a more welcoming America. Will you join us in walking alongside immigrants today? Donate: https://lnkd.in/e9-ijwhN

Since 2003, the U.S. has funneled billions into immigration enforcement, but here’s the kicker: In FY 2024, Congress spent nearly three times more on immigration detention centers ($3.43 billion) than on the entire adjudication system for removal and asylum claims ($1.26 billion). This glaring disparity has led to severe case backlogs, with over 3.7 million cases pending and only 725 immigration judges nationwide. The result? A broken system where enforcement is prioritized over justice causes years of delay for those seeking asylum. It's time for a major rethink. We need a balanced approach that adequately funds our humanitarian protection and adjudication systems, not just enforcement.

Judge Grants Texas’ Request to Keep Families Apart, At Least For Now A mere three days after 16 Republican-led states sued the Biden administration over its “Keeping Families Together” parole process, a federal judge in Texas handed the plaintiffs a temporary “administrative stay,” ordering the federal government to stop granting any applications under the new process while the lawsuit proceeds.

What would a second Donald Trump presidency mean for immigrants? It’s often hard to answer these questions using politicians’ own words – you have to parse what they wish to do versus what actions they’re willing to take. But one way to answer the question is to look at what former Trump administration officials see as their highest priorities for a future Trump presidency. That’s why Project 2025, a task force run by the Heritage Foundation, has gotten so much more attention than Trump’s official campaign plans or the GOP platform.
