THE FORUM DAILY

Faith, law enforcement, business and national security leaders are on
Capitol Hill today, meeting with 40 Senate offices to urge border and
immigration reforms this year. (You too can participate, by email or
phone <[link removed]>.) 

And this evening, the Forum and our sibling (c)4, America Is Better,
will present "Keepers of the American Dream" awards
<[link removed]>
to Tyson Foods; World Relief; Maria Gabriela ("Gaby") Pacheco of
TheDream.US; and retired Orlando, Florida, Police Chief Orlando
Rolón.  

Yesterday Tyson Foods announced
<[link removed]>
an additional $1.5 million investment for legal and citizenship services
for its immigrant workers, as Jacob Smith of KNWA/KFTA
<[link removed]>
reports. 

Our general session
<[link removed]> is tomorrow
morning, and there will be no edition of The Forum Daily. We'll be
back with a final abbreviated edition on Friday, and back to normal
Monday and Tuesday next week. 

Lots of news today: 

**HE'S RUNNING** - and we'll call that news. Linda Qiu of The New
York Times
<[link removed]>
has a fact-check on some of what Donald Trump said about the border and
migration during his announcement last night (starting with a single
word: "False").  

TITLE 42 BLOCKED - Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan blocked the use of
Title 42, initially a pandemic-era policy that has been used to expel
thousands of migrants at the border, Camilo Montoya-Galvez of CBS News
<[link removed]>
reports. Read Forum President and CEO Jennie Murray's take in our
separate statement yesterday
<[link removed]>.  

PASS THE CHEESE - "If we don't solve this labor piece, we're going
to continue to see cost increases in the supermarket on food," Rick
Naerebout of the Idaho Dairymen's Association told Justin Corr of KTVB
<[link removed]>.
The group is pushing Congress to pass the Farm Workforce Modernization
Act
<[link removed]>. To
the east, the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association is also supporting ag
immigration reforms. (Pan Demetrakakes, Food Processing Magazine
<[link removed]>).  

MIGRANT TRANSPORT - Newly released documents reveal that a top
official in the administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was
coordinating with alleged recruiter "Perla" and others to facilitate
migrant transport from Texas to Martha's Vineyard (Gary Fineout, David
Kihara, POLITICO
<[link removed]>).
And in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has begun busing migrants to
Philadelphia. (Christian Alemán, KVUE
<[link removed]>) 

**MEDICAL ABUSE** - Still incredibly disturbing: Some migrant women
held at a Georgia detention center "likely underwent 'unnecessary'
invasive gynecological procedures," according to a 108-page report
<[link removed]>
published Tuesday after an 18-month, bipartisan Senate investigation
into women's allegations of medical abuse
<[link removed]>.
(Camilo Montoya-Galvez, CBS News
<[link removed]>) 

TECH LAYOFFS - H-1B visa holders are among the thousands of employees
big tech companies are laying off, which puts a time limit on their
ability to stay in the U.S. legally, Kalie Greenberg of KING-TV
<[link removed]>
reports. Under the visa, they have only 60 days to find another job or
self-deport. "Nobody is getting a new job in 60 days," said Graham &
Walker Managing Director Leslie Feinzaig. "That is by far the most
vulnerable population in this entire equation." 

Thanks for reading,
