🎥 New #CHIRLATV episode drops tomorrow!

We break down the latest on the partial government shutdown, the push in Congress to send even more funding to DHS, and how communities are organizing to say NO to more dollars for detention and deportation. ✊🏽

That’s why CHIRLA proudly co-sponsors SB 995 — the Masuma Khan Justice Act — introduced by Senator Sasha Renée Pérez. ✊🏽 This bill gives CA power to hold for-profit detention facilities accountable: fines, enforcement, & license revocation when facilities fail to meet basic human rights. ⚠️ #CALeg

Masuma Khan lived in the US for 30 years. She showed up to her immigration check-in — and ICE took her anyway.

She was denied medication. Fed moldy food. Kept in freezing temperatures. CHIRLA members have told us the same — no medical care, no edible food, with conditions designed to break people.

A federal court denied the government’s attempt to dismiss our case challenging unlawful immigration raids in SoCal, rejecting its claim of “isolated incidents." The case will continue to move forward in court. Learn more: immdef.org/litigation-and-advocacy/vasquez-perdomo-v-noem

Un tribunal federal rechazó el intento del gobierno de desestimar nuestro caso contra las redadas ilegales de inmigración en el sur de California, rechazando su alegación de "incidentes aislados". El caso seguirá adelante en los tribunales.

Kristi Noem’s tenure was defined by chaos, cruelty, no accountability, and the deliberate targeting of immigrant families and workers. 
 
To the next DHS Secretary: our communities will be watching. This next chapter must be defined by justice, NOT fear.  🫂🦋

🚨 FACT CHECK: The right is attacking CHIRLA again, spreading lies about our funding.

❌ CHIRLA does NOT receive state money for protests or political activity.

🗣️ Our state-funded work supports legal services, education, and outreach. Most is reinvested into 88 community partners across Southern CA.
