We lost a great one today.Judy Greene was a friend, mentor, colleague, and coconspirator on so many projects.

She was a visionary on criminal justice & immigration issues, a force of nature, and someone who believed and invested in me and whole generation of organizers.

Her legacy will live on.

Turning over prisoner transport safety to the notorious corporation that operates the troubled (to say the least) Delaney Hall detention center in NJ doesn't bode well...

Donald Trump's immigration policy (essentially to have masked men disappear 4-6% of the population) is morally reprehensible *and* deeply unpopular, a second poll this week finds.

This White House is turning damn near everyone against ICE.

Here you have veterans saying they will physically intervene to support their Afghan colleagues
