We rallied outside court today as judges heard a challenge to Trump’s attempt to end TPS for Venezuela. But this isn’t just about one country—it’s a fight to protect all immigrant workers. @SEIU721 @32BJSEIU @seiuusww @TPS_Alliance @HaitianBridge @Carecen_LA #TPSjustice

Ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) makes hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrant workers vulnerable to Trump's vicious deportation agenda. We’re fighting in the courts and on the ground to protect workers and our futures. #WeMakeAmericaWork #TPSjustice

ICE agents are resigning or considering quitting, complaining about having “No drug cases, no human trafficking, no child exploitation” and instead having to focus on "arresting gardeners." Guilty about targeting working people? They should. newrepublic.com/post/197814/ic…

iAmericaorg's tweet card. “Morale is in the crapper,” one former ICE agent said of what it’s like to work under the Trump administration.

Dr. Jonathan Caravello is FREE!❤️ His detention was a direct attack meant to silence dissent and intimidate anyone who opposes the Trump regime. Detaining a U.S. citizen for defending workers’ rights is an assault on free speech & a threat to our democracy. We won’t be silenced.

SSEIU@SEIU · Jul 15

BREAKING: Dr. Jonathan Caravello, a U.S. citizen and @CFA_United member, has been released from federal custody after days of unjust detention. This is a victory, but it never should’ve happened! We must #EndRaids and free all those unjustly detained.

Members of @CFA_United & allies held a vigil last night outside the LA detention center where U.S. citizen Dr. Jonathan Caravello is unjustly held. He was brutally assaulted and detained by ICE for defending worker rights. This is an outrage. Free the unjustly detained.

The safety of our families and the health of our children should always come first. Deporting a childcare worker and her seriously ill son hurts our communities and does absolutely nothing to make us safer.

SSEIU Local 925@SEIU925 · Jul 12

We are devastated to share that SEIU 925 child care provider Nicolle and her family were deported to Colombia after nearly 3 weeks in an ICE detention center in Texas. Nicolle cared for children with special needs, foster kids, and families with nowhere else to turn.

“If there are not folks here to take care of our loved ones... folks are going to have to choose: Do I go to work? Do I stay home with my aging parents? ...tough choices at a time where it’s already so hard for families to make ends meet.” -@SEIUPres usatoday.com/story/money/20…

iAmericaorg's tweet card. The Trump administration's crackdown on immigration could disrupt a caregiver industry that is heavily dependent on foreign-born workers.

Dr. Jonathan Caravello, a @CFA_United member and professor, was violently abducted by ICE during the Camarillo raids and disappeared for nearly 20hrs. While he has now been located, these cruel attacks on working people must end. He must be released. ktla.com/news/local-new…

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s order to restrict #birthrightcitizenship. We will not let this administration decide who is worthy of being an American citizen. Every child born in the U.S. is a citizen— morally, legally, and under the 14th Amendment. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/j…

iAmericaorg's tweet card. The judge also granted the case class-action status after the Supreme Court limited judges' ability to block orders nationwide through other means.

About half the people in ICE detention do not have a criminal record. They’re detaining valuable community members—pastors, teachers, restaurant owners, our friends, and our families. npr.org/2025/07/03/nx-…

Nicolle Orozco Forero applied for asylum and attended all her scheduled interviews. Days before opening a daycare, she was detained. Now her family, including her seriously ill son, are in ICE custody. "This family is not a threat, they are an asset.” 19thnews.org/2025/07/child-…

iAmericaorg's tweet card. Nicolle Orozco Forero was one of the few immigrant women who provide child care for American children with disabilities. Then she and her seriously ill son were taken into ICE custody.
