CLASP Decries Inhumane Treatment of Haitian Migrants, Calls for Administration to Reverse Course [[link removed]]
The mistreatment of Haitian migrants by Customs and Border Patrol in Texas is appalling to witness. The actions are cruel, inhumane, and unacceptable. Haitian migrants arriving at our border are individuals and families fleeing dire political crises, economic difficulties, and natural disasters. They—and all those seeking safety—deserve to be treated with humanity and respect.

CLASP 2020-2021 Impact Report
In 2020, the tragic impact of the global pandemic and recession on families' lives increased demand for our work across the board--new ideas in Congress, technical assistance to federal and state agencies, and partnerships with our advocacy colleagues.
We put forth ideas during this period that we've been advancing for decades and that are now on the cusp of happening. We're proud of the groundbreaking work we did in 2020 and much of 2021, described in our new Impact Report. Here's a snapshot: the precedent-setting recovery plan passage and its impact on families, communities, and sectors; innovative collaborations with dynamic leaders and organizations; thoughtful approaches to addressing policy implementation and access; and strategic engagement with the Biden-Harris Administration.
