    As the world is following events in Afghanistan with a heavy heart, I urge all countries to be willing to receive Afghan refugees & refrain from deportations. Afghans have known generations of war & hardship. They deserve our full support. Now is the time for solidarity.

    Judge Katzmann’s tireless work shaped immigrant representation in the U.S., and we are honored to carry his legacy forward through IJC. We will never stop looking towards the example he set, serving this cause until there is no longer a need. We are so grateful for his vision.

    "They’ve shown just how little they know about the immigrant experience beyond the headlines. So we are left with this flawed book as our model, these damaging depictions at a time when there’s already so much demonizing of immigrants." @LATBermudez

    Commentary: 'American Dirt' is what happens when Latinos are shut out of the book industry
    "American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins was celebrated by many critics as the great immigrant novel of our day. Then Latinos called it out as a stereotype-riddled act of appropriation.

    “The U.S. gov claimed that people returned under MPP would be provided humanitarian support in Mexico, and that just hasn’t materialized...The Mexican gov really doesn’t provide direct support to individuals who are returned," says IJC alum @KennjiKizuka
    Clementa Perez, 39 carries her youngest, Jaily Perez, 2. She along with her two children sleep on mattress on the open floor at the Hijo Prodigo shelter in Mexicali, Mexico, July 25, 2019. The large room once a movie theatre is now used as a shelter for Central American migrants. Perez hope to reunite with her husband who is already in the U.S.
