John, in just a few hours, I and my colleagues at the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) will be giving an urgent community briefing about the new budget bill's impact on immigration. Don't miss it! Register now to join us: https://immigrantjustice.org/BudgetBriefing 

In the last couple of weeks, immigrant rights advocates have fought successfully to keep some of the worst proposals out of the budget bill.

Despite these successes, Congress passed a budget bill that marks new territory for U.S. immigration policy. The bill supercharges detention and enforcement funding, increases border militarization, raises immigration application fees, and weakens protections for vulnerable populations like children seeking safety. 

Join me and other experts from NIJC for a virtual briefing TODAY to get a clear breakdown of what is in the bill, what the policy changes mean for immigrants in our communities, and what you can do to support immigrant rights. 

Here’s the event info:
