Hi from the HRW crew at #nycpride2018! Check out our story to learn more about Human Rights Watch’s work around the world to combat human rights violations on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 #DefiantlyDifferent #ABC7NY #WeAreProud #NYCPRIDE #instagay Trump’s “solution” to family separation in yesterday’s executive order is anything but that. We know what indefinite detention does to children and their families. It means indefinite trauma. Let’s not be fooled into accepting a false choice between different ways of damaging families seeking safety. #EndFamilyDetention Hungary’s parliament passed a law that not only makes it almost impossible to seek asylum in #Hungary but also makes it a crime to help #migrants and hopeful #refugees. If signed into law by Hungarian President Janos Ader, starting July 1 human rights workers and community volunteers could be prosecuted and jailed for up to a year for providing services, advice, or support to migrants and asylum seekers. Poor medical treatment contributed to more than half the deaths reported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a 16-month period. ICE has proven unable or unwilling to provide adequately for the health and safety of the people it detains. 12 people died in immigration detention in fiscal year 2017, more than any year since 2009. Since March 2010, 74 people have died in immigration detention, but ICE has released death reviews in full or in part in only 52 of the cases. The Trump administration’s efforts to drastically expand the already-bloated immigration detention system will only put more people at risk. #Repost from @refugees to close out #WorldRefugeeDay.
