María’s Story: The Toll of Poverty and Family Separation

U.S. detention and deportation policies have long been the source of separation for immigrant families seeking to be together. María crossed the U.S.–Mexico border twice to visit her father who she has not seen in a decade, but it is not clear how or when that reunion will take place.  María came to the KBI in mid-August, after serving 30 days in a U.S. prison and being deported to Nogales, Sonora.

The Immigration Prosecution Factory

Initiated in 2005 to expedite immigration court proceedings, Operation Streamline is rife with problems—due process concerns, asylum seekers lost in the shuffle, separated families, the whole enterprise an offense to human dignity and presumptive innocence. Prosecutions are not a substitute for solid, sensible immigration reform. Yet the program has expanded in the past, and we are likely to see it grow yet again under the Trump Administration.

Defending Temporary Protected Status

In the coming months, the Department of Homeland Security will determine the fate of more than 300,000 people from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti who emigrated to the U.S. after receiving temporary protected status (TPS) in response to climate events and armed conflict in their home countries. DHS has already decided not to renew TPS for some 2,500 Nicaraguans, and extended TPS for Hondurans by only 6 months. After close to 20 years in the U.S., these immigrants have integrated into their … [Read more...]
