2/The Most #Corrupt #Congressman (yes, it’s a real thing, Google it) Slickster and Portabella suit wearing Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks is disgusted and wishes the survivors a speedy recovery. He's with you buffalo... except when writing a bill to protect you.
3/Plantation Hat, Skee-Wee, OoH-Oop, Geriatric City Girl @RepFredricaWilson didn’t have time. Her last tweet around May 14th was about #Haitians and how we need to support them, she was AWOL when they were getting paws put on them at the border tho.
Today @POTUS and @SecMayorkas issued their guidance to reimplement (and expand!!!) the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) - a deadly program that violates the human rights of asylum-seekers every day it exists. A🧵on what this means and how it's really really bad.
New: ICE paid $15 million to private prison giant GEO group for expulsion flights of 15,000 #Haitians. Contract was no-bid, goes through 10/6.

To put in in comparison - the UN sought $15 million for relief in Haiti in August. Instead, the Biden admin gave GEO group $15 million for mass expulsion flights.

A thread 🧵 on what I heard and saw in #DelRioTexas and Acuña, where thousands of #Haitians and other migrants are hoping to get their shot at a life of safety and economic security in the US:
Babies crying — a lot of ppl at the border camp are families w young children. A volunteer who runs a respite center said she’s seen many pregnant women as well. Some w medical emergencies have been taken to the hospital. (sound up)
Yes, the camp is totally overwhelmed. It’s so many ppl. But there’s still a sense of order and community. Ppl have constructed tents from carrizo cane. Women braid each other’s hair.

It was never my phrase.
It is #brash. #Gauche. #Brinkmanship. #Oneupmanship.
But for every other country on earth, the #UnitedStates is the absolute worst country on earth.
We cherish #liberty but not enough to hang politicians for their every #encroachment on it.
