Foreigners will be required to pass a language test with a new French immigration law.

Foreigners will now be required to pass a language exam if they wish to remain in the country. Tens of thousands will be affected by this decree.

For many who hold employment and have been living in the country for years, this new requirement could have a significant impact on their future in France.

"Immigration accounted for all U.S. population growth in 2022-23, first time since 1850"

"All U.S. population growth in 2022-23 happened because of immigration, not births — the first time that’s occurred since 1850, a migration think tank reported Wednesday."

Jayapal excerpts:

"I am introducing the No Roundup Act, and this is a piece of legislation that repeals this long-dormant #immigration law that Donald Trump is using to fuel his cruel and inhumane mass deportation campaign. This is the same law that came out of World War II; it was used for the internment of Japanese Americans back then, putting Japanese Americans into concentration camps in the 1940s." (1/6)

A ten year old girl recovering from brain cancer was deported to Mexico and prevented from attending her necessary follow up appointment

She was a U.S. citizen, but it didn’t matter.

The cruelty is the point.

I hope this sweet kiddo can access the care she needs to make a full recovery, and shame on those ICE agents who thought this was “ok”

This is why we speak out. Unspeakable horrors are happening all around us and if we stay silent, it will change us.

Don’t stay silent. Resist.

The mother of a Canadian woman illegally detained by ICE at the U.S. border wants to know when her daughter will be released.

The U.S. is not safe for anyone. Do not travel there.

“We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were removed from their cells at 3 a.m. and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona. They are housed together in a single concrete cell with no natural light, fluorescent lights that are never turned off, no mats, no blankets, and limited bathroom facilities.”

The #Trump admin has abruptly cleared out a 2nd group of migrants it brought to the American military base at #Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, returning to the #UnitedStates 40 men it had flown there in the past few weeks.

The move comes days before a Federal District Court judge in Washington is set to hear a major challenge to aspects of the policy.
A court filing described strip searches & the use of restraint chairs on some of the 290 migrants.

Migrants arriving at Guantánamo Bay last month.

"US clears out remaining migrants from GITMO."

It appears that Trump's "crackdown" is failing. DHS has likely wasted $Bs.

The US has cleared out the last migrants being held at #GITMO sending to LA as they await #deportation.

#Immigration rights groups have filed lawsuits against the US govt over its use of Guantanamo Bay.

One suit, filed earlier this month, seeks to stop US officials from transferring migrants to the base, alleging the moves violate US law.

A Canadian is now being held indefinitely by ICE

The US views Canadians as enemies now, not friends and neighbours

It is not safe to travel to the U.S. Please go elsewhere, it’s simply not worth the risk.

“My daughter, Jasmine, a 35-year-old Canadian, attempted to enter the U.S. on March 3, 2025, with a consulting visa for a company in the States.

Unfortunately, her visa was denied, and she was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the San Ysidro border crossing, where she was held for three nights”

This is a 400k people country. The largest of these minorities is Polish, about 25k people.

That is all.
