📢 A family was torn apart while seeking medical care for their daughter with brain tumor. Now, they are stranded in Mexico, separated from their U.S. citizen children. This should never happen. 🖊 Sign the petition to reunite them: txcivilrights.org/reunite #EndFamilySeparation

BREAKING: Our attorney was aggressively rejected from trying to offer help to immigrant children illegally detained at a Hampton Inn in McAllen, TX. He and another of our staffer were violently shoved into the hotel elevator and were told they could not offer help. #FreeThemALL!

🚨 ALERT: We have received multiple reports from voters who voted straight-ticket, then saw on a later screen that their votes were changed to that of the opposite party. You must check your ballot before casting to ensure it’s correct, and you can ask a poll worker for help.

WE WON! We sued Harris County for failing to open nine polling places on time. After we filed our lawsuit, the County Judge ruled that those nine polling places must stay open an extra hour, until 8pm. These sites were delayed in opening this morning or had technology issues.

BREAKING: We won our court case today! The Judge ordered a temporary injunction allowing all voters to use vote by mail during the COVID-19 pandemic. No one should have to pick between their health/safety and their right to vote.

Vilma, one of our first 5 clients separated from her child, finally has her 11-year-old son back after 58 days apart. They fled to the U.S. seeking asylum after Vilma’s husband was murdered, only to be separated. Now, together, they can seek asylum. #FamiliesBelongTogether

This is extremely troubling. If you are one of the voters in Arlington that left a polling place without having voted due to broken machines and a lack of paper ballots, please call us now at 866-OUR-VOTE!!

An Arlington, Texas voting location didn't have enough paper ballots: A voter tells CNN that the electronic voting machines were not working and she was told they did not have any ballots. "Once that info was shared, most of the people in line decided to leave."

Now we are standing outside the hotel with signs showing our legal hotline hoping the people inside- children and asylum seekers- can reach out to us for help. Some are holding small signs trying to communicate with us. #FreeThemAll

BREAKING: we have stopped the expulsion of all unaccompanied children that were detained in the Hampton Inn Hotel. Thanks to our lawsuit with the @ACLU, the government has agreed to transfer them to ORR custody, as should have happened in the first place. #FreeThemAll

BREAKING: We just heard the terrible news that all 12 of our clients escorted by @JulianCastro were sent back to Mexico. This is of course a mockery of due process. Here is our statement on the matter: #LetThemIn
