The Biden Administration is on the Wrong Side in This Crucial Supreme Court Immigration Case - The Immigrant’s Journal

On January 11, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Garland v. Gonzalez, the latest in a series of cases the court has taken on immigration detention.

And the Biden administration is decidedly on the wrong side of this fight. #Biden #immigrants #immigrationnews #news

Opinion: Some Await God to Save Them From COVID-19. They Should Consider the Helpers He Sent. - The Immigrant’s Journal

There are, however, some people of faith, of which I am one, who believe that practitioners of modern medicine — the diagnosticians and treatment specialists, the scientists seeking cures for diseases, the public health officials providing science-based guidance on how to prevent covid-19 from entering and spreading in our communities — might also be answers to our prayers. #covid19 #coronavirus

They are known as Documented Dreamers, and when these young adults turn 21, they “age out” of their previous lawful status, which was tied to their parents’ visas. #immigrants #immigration #deportation #news #temporaryworkvisas #visas
