Powerful reporting from @stahlidarity @GuardianUS. Each life, each story is not just a random tragedy or data point, but woven together, they make up a tapestry of systematic indifference, human rights abuses, health inequality, and injustice in our jails and prisons.
This morning I published my latest feature with @GuardianUS - an investigation into how US prisoners are dying of preventable and treatable conditions. theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

Children do not start conflicts and they are powerless to stop them.
The children caught in this nightmare need all of us to put their safety and security at the forefront.

Critically important evidence showing the value of rigorous medico-legal affidavits in asylum cases. Bravo to all those clinicians who conduct these! @CUNY @PHR @CUNYMEDICINE @CUNYSPH @CUNYLAW @Kathryn_Opal @DrHollyAtkinson @RamanathanVidya

The national asylum grant rate is 42.4%.
PHR's asylum grant rate is 81.6%.

Health professionals from around the country are calling on @CDCDirector Dr. Walensky to immediately #EndTitle42, a xenophobic and racist policy which violates public health principles
BREAKING 🚨 Over 1,300 medical professionals from 49 U.S. states and territories are joining PHR to call on the CDC to end the Title 42 border expulsions order that has systematically endangered thousands of people who seek asylum in the United States.

People with mental health issues have a constitutional right to safe mental health discharge planning!
See this @P4HR @NYLPI factsheet with more info about your rights & resources: nylpi.org/wp-content/uploads…
Thx @verainstitute for documenting these abuses
People with mental health conditions are often released by ICE with complete disregard for their well-being. No one is notified of their release—not even family members or attorneys.
Many are left to fend for themselves, with tragic consequences: vera.org/ices-deadly-practic…

President Biden came into office with a backlog of over 1.29 million immigration court cases, more than double the number Trump inherited. Here’s a proposal for clearing the backlog and keeping current with new asylum applications. @BillFrelick @HRW thehill.com/opinion/immigrat…

For those who still don’t understand systemic racism and it’s health impact.
“a 2019 proclamation signed by then-President Trump prevented immigrants from obtaining visas unless they proved they could obtain health insurance or pay for health care.”

Incredible work from @AlOtroLado_Org & @ImmDef! After years of separation because of Trump's zero-tolerance policy, Bryan is reunited with his mother! We look forward to more families reuniting & are committed to ensuring every parent separated will get to hold their child again.

KIND applauds the more than 65 House Members, led by @RepJayapal, who joined this letter and called for all unaccompanied children to receive legal representation in their immigration proceedings.
No child should face immigration court alone.

In July, we hosted a panel discussion during which we discussed the implications of the proposed Security Bars and Processing Rule, which would grant the US government expansive authority to deny #asylum & other #humanitarian protections under the pretext of #publichealth. 1/
