Over the summer I wrote about Elder Chavez who came to the US by himself and was granted a special legal status for kids abandoned by their parents.

ICE arrested him after a minor traffic stop. Now nearly a year later, he’s still in detention. 1/ propublica.org/article/unacc…

Desde 2026, los costos de las tarjetas de residencia temporal y permanente han aumentado, en promedio, 118%. Para muchas personas y familias el costo para regularizar su situación migratoria puede convertirse en una barrera. #PPEF2027Migración👇

[1] Americans support education for all students, no matter where they were born. An April 2026 survey found that over 75% of respondents showed strong support for universal education. #AllChildrenBelong @NEAToday @supportKIND @TCFdotorg

I am privileged to serve on the board of @supportKIND, the nation’s largest legal service provider to unaccompanied children. The work has been done. Yet the government won’t pay what it owes, over $20M, some unpaid since December, and is now targeting KIND and others who defend the due process rights of children. 70+ members of Congress from both parties have asked it to honor those contracts. This isn’t about politics. It’s about the rule of law, due process and the greatest countryin the history of the world keeping its wor

It’s heartbreaking to see little kids appearing all alone in immigration court, without a lawyer. This week, I led 15 of my colleagues to introduce the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, to ensure that unaccompanied minors get legal representation during immigration proceedings.

We should all be able to agree that the people and organizations dedicated to protecting children deserve the space to do their work without interference. Federal agents attempting to conduct a warrantless search of KIND and other advocacy organizations that serve immigrant children is a blatant attempt to intimidate them out of their critical work. It is cruel and unacceptable.

Congress held a hearing today framing Plyler v. Doe as a problem. We submitted a statement signed by 100+ organizations making the case that it is a foundation. Educating every child is not a burden. It is an investment. #ProtectPlyler 🔗 bit.ly/3NIhFy8

On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we emphasize that no one should have to choose between dignity and family. Today, millions of migrants are separated from their families by policies that treat their right to family life as a privilege rather than a fundamental human right. Protecting migrants’ ability to live with their loved ones must be understood and implemented as a core responsibility of States. Family unity is a human right - not something to be earned.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill requires children escaping violence and persecution around the world to pay thousands of dollars to seek asylum – creating an artificial barrier and an obvious opportunity for the cartels’ human trafficking operations. That is unacceptable in every way. With @SenCortezMasto and @RepDeliaRamirez, I introduced the Upholding Protections for Unaccompanied Children Act to make sure children are not financial cash cows for our government and the cartels.

When a child shows up alone at our border seeking safety, we have a duty to keep them safe. I'm introducing a bill today with @RepDanGoldman and @repdeliaramirez to reverse cruel GOP policies that harm these kids. nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1jMJgRqeV…
