Yesterday we posted this important message, but we've been busy... and just discovered our website went down yesterday due to misdirected email about ISP autopay. PLEASE - we do desperately need help getting these women out of this terrible prison:

Brandon Lee, spox for the #Illinois Coalition for #Immigrant & #Refugee Rights, said the group was working to identify those taken in the raid.
“It was a #violent show of force in the middle of the night,” Lee said. “Taking #families out of an apartment building in a residential neighborhood like that is harmful, is #traumatic, & that is not something that people can easily recover from, whether they themselves were taken or whether they witnessed it.”

We're aware we've been asking a lot recently, but we continue to have desperate needs, in Iraq especially.
We are, sadly, largely operating alone there. And right now we are effectively broke, with desperate people begging to be saved.
Please help.

It's not with any joy that we posted this, but we're calling it. Our advice for the USA is now officially "get out now, however you can".

We have a trans woman who has been kept locked up in a house for a long time. She's been told she'll be allowed to leave if she leaves her country within a week.
We don't have the roughly 1000 EUR we need to move her.
Please, if you can, give. We have one week to raise the money and get her out.

A passenger we previously moved to a safe intermediate country has reached a Scandanavian country, where she will be able to live permanently. It's been a very long road for hr - longer than a complete circuit of the globe.

Doing this is expensive. Please, if you can help, do:

After #Kabul fell to the #Taliban in August 2021, President Joe #Biden’s admin moved to resettle #Afghans who had worked for the #US government through the Special Immigrant #Visa (#SIV) program, which grants lawful permanent resident status & a pathway to US #citizenship. As of April, about 25k Afghans had received an SIV, & another 160k had pending applications, said Adam Bates, an attorney with the International #Refugee Assistance Program who analyzed #State Dept data.

At least 8 #Palestinians, most of them #children, were killed & over a dozen others were wounded in #Gaza on Sunday in an #Israel missile strike.

The #IDF said it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area but that a malfunction had caused the missile to fall "dozens of metres from the target".

The strike hit a water distribution point in Nuseirat #refugee camp, killing 6 children & injuring 17 others, said Ahmed Abu Saifan, an emergency physician.

The focus on #denaturalization is just the latest step by the #Trump admin to reshape the nation's #immigration system across all levels of govt, turning it into a major focus across multiple federal agencies. That has come with redefining who is let into the #UnitedStates or has the right to be an #American. Since his return to office, Trump has sought to end #BirthrightCitizenship & massively scale back #refugee programs.
