Lawsuit
Challenging
Texas’
Floating
Barrier
Raises
Questions
About
Its
Other
Border
Policies
[[link removed]]


The
U.S.
Department
of
Justice
followed
through
on
its
promise
to
sue
Texas
over
its
border
policies.
But
the
lawsuit’s
focus—the
installation
of

reasons—no
phone,
unreliable
internet
access,
or
didn’t
receive
one
of
the
limited
appointments—then
they
are
turned
back
from
ports
of
entry.


Last
week,
the
American
Immigration
Council
and
its
partners
filed
a
different
lawsuit
that
challenges
the
policy
and
practice
of
turning
back
asylum
seekers
without
a
CBP
One

at
ports
of

along
the
southern
border.

ACROSS THE NATION
*
The
American
Immigration
Council,
along
with
the
Presidents’
Alliance
on
Higher
Education
and
Immigration,
released
a
report
spotlighting
the
enrollment
trends
and
economic
contributions
of
undocumented
students
in
U.S.
colleges
and
universities.


The
report
underscores
the
pivotal
role
these
students,
including
Deferred
Action
for
Childhood
Arrivals
(DACA)
recipients,
play
in
addressing
critical
workforce
gaps
in
sectors
like
healthcare,
education,
and
STEM
fields.
The
report
also
emphasizes
the
decline
in
DACA-eligible
students
due
to
limited
eligibility
criteria,
highlighting
the
need
for
Congress
to
create
a
pathway
to
citizenship
for
these
talented
individuals.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“As we approach the fourth anniversary of this horrific, white supremacist attack, we hope to offer a space of community healing and resistance,” said Fernando Garcia, executive director of Border Network for Human Rights, the event organizer. “We cannot forget that this massacre occurred as a result of... the spread of hateful, white supremacist and xenophobic rhetoric toward immigrants of color and minorities.”
