BREAKING: We're suing.

Along with @KIND, @ACLU, and dozens unaccompanied children detained in hotels facing imminent expulsion from the country, we're suing the Trump admin to stop their expulsion, give them legal representation, & allow them to seek asylum. #FreeThemAll
This week, we’ve uncovered potentially hundreds of asylum-seekers and children detained in a hotel in McAllen, Texas. The government is disappearing asylum seekers— even children— without a trace.

Without due process, there’s no paper trail. When we tried to provide legal assistance at a hotel in McAllen where they are illegally detaining people, our staff was violently shoved and removed. https://twitter.com/TXCivilRights/status/1286445319056654336
Outside of the hotel, we saw families from the windows asking us for help but they don’t have phones to contact us. https://twitter.com/TXCivilRights/status/1286496347592556544
That's why we're suing the Trump administration to #FreeThemAll. Read the lawsuit here: https://bit.ly/3hwnvwM

If you need help finding an unaccompanied child, call 956-291-4169. We need the full name, date of birth, and country of origin so that we can intervene. http://txcivilrights.org/hotels 
CORRECTION: we love partners our partners at KIND, but they are not part of the lawsuit. It is just TCRP, the ACLU, and the unaccompanied minors.
