Today marks the shameful 2 yr anniversary of the Remain in Mexico program. A Trump Era policy that robs families of their lawful ability to seek asylum in the US & traps them in Mexico. This dangerous policy was a workaround to their family separation goals #WelcomewithDignity 1/

~70K people were placed into this program & forced to suffer in makeshift refugee camps just steps from our border waiting for sham court dates in tent courts where they had tele-court hearings w/ judges miles away #WelcomewithDignity 2/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/23/us/mexico-migrant-camp-asylum.html

What has this meant. Well, when you leave people fleeing for their lives w/ nothing but the clothes on their back without a safe orderly lawful asylum process you get at least 1,313 publicly reported cases of murder, kidnapping, rape, torture, violence 3/ https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/campaign/remain-mexico

Thankfully @JoeBiden committed to ending this on Day 1 of his administration. He has started to deliver on that promise by not putting anyone else in the program. But all of the families remain trapped. And we must urgently begin to #WelcomewithDignity 4/ https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1222691999364657152?s=20

1000s who have survived this tragedy are desperate for news of their futures. While we were hopeful today was the day. We learned last night it's not. While I remain optimistic we are just days away from news, each day is too many for these families. 5/ https://twitter.com/jacobsoboroff/status/1355020504319442948?s=20

I call on reporters to not solely focus on the family separation task force. An entire system of lawful migration was gutted resulting in equal scales of human devastation as a legacy of family separation out of our view. MPP families-100s who have been separated-need you too. 6/

And I call on the @JoeBiden administration to build upon last week's strong start of unwinding Trump harm by speedily creating a humane and orderly process to #WelcomeWithDignity those families remaining at risk in MPP. Each day we wait is a day too many. /7
