#Trump admin wants access to database of #immigrant #minors

The Office of #Refugee #Resettlement [#ORR], which is responsible for caring for unaccompanied minors, has long operated independently of #ICE.

The Trump admin is seeking to grant US #immigration officers access to databases that contain info on hundreds of thousands of immigrant #teens & #children who crossed into the #UnitedStates w/o parents, WH border czar TomHoman told WaPo Fri.

Friends: #Refugees have been quite literally left out in the cold by the administration's cruel 1/24 order stopping any work on their behalf. These are people who were forced to leave their home country, then wait in another country while the US fully vetted them and processed their application, a process that could take two years or more.

Suddenly (in many cases, only days after their arrival) leaving families without food, shelter, language assistance, job counseling, or other support is an abomination and a betrayal of the highest order.

But you can help. Please consider a donation to the Refugee Program of the #Jewish Family & Children Service, or to the refugee #resettlement agency of your choice (such as #HIAS). Thank you!

Please boost this message so that others are given the opportunity to show our new neighbors that Americans can be welcoming and generous.

That's all without even mentioning the devastating effects on the dedicated resettlement professionals all over the country—working long hours for low pay—whose source of income is now in jeopardy. But worse, they are now required to sit and watch as the families (many with small children and elderly adults) they've been caring for are put in imminent danger of #homelessness and #foodInsecurity.

HOW TO HELP: call your representative in Congress and the Senate. Right now. Tell them that you cannot tolerate this cruelty. Then call your state's refugee coordinator's office and ask them to do what they can to support refugees in your state.

And again, please consider supporting #HIAS and your local #refugee #resettlement agencies directly. hias.org/donate

OK well #CNN has the story, so I can talk about this now.

The administration has ordered all #refugee #resettlement work in the country to stop immediately. A refugee family that arrived on Thursday and was placed into a hotel until longer term housing could be identified would today, Saturday, be homeless.

I remind everyone that refugees are not here "illegally". They've gone through a years-long process of application and vetting that resulted in their admittance to this country. As part of that process, the US agrees to provide support and assistance when they first arrive—help that has now been prematurely terminated, in violation of our commitments.

Expect this cruel and illegal action to be challenged in court as early as Monday. Please support #HIAS or your local resettlement agency so they can continue their critically important work.

The #State Dept abruptly canceled travel for thousands of #refugees already approved to fly to the #UnitedStates, days before a deadline that #Trump had set for suspending the #resettlement program that provides #SafeHaven for people fleeing persecution.

The cancellation of the flights comes on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder signed by Trump on Monday that indefinitely paused the #refugee resettlement.

Theodore Dwight Weld helped start Lane Seminary. In this work, he tries to make the case that slavery had so corrupted a culture that it spilled out into hate and violence in all directions. Thus, in an antislavery tract, he commiserates with the Mormon victims of harassment and murder in Missouri.

How can you re-evaluate or tweak your primary causes based on the character of the people associated with it?

"The Mormons upon the approach of the mob, sent out a white flag, which being fired on by the mob, Jo Smith and Rigdon, and a few other Mormons of less influence, gave themselves up to the mob, with a view of so far appeasing their wrath as to save their women and children from violence. Vain hope ! The prisoners being secured, the mob entered the town and perpetrated every conceivable act of brutality and outrage."
