It will give us a fighting chance of defeating Trumpβs racist, anti-immigrant agenda.
We canβt wait to act.
π¨ Join our virtual briefing with Virginians for Fair Elections to learn whatβs at stake and how you can help: stopaapihate.org/fairelection...
With Trump working overtime to rig the midterm elections in his favor β we need to do everything we can to stop him.
On April 21, Virginia voters will decide on redistricting that will level the playing field ahead of the midterms and reshape representation in Congress for the next decade.
The fate of our democracy and the safety of our communities are connected.
As AAPI and immigrant communities across the nation face unrelenting attacks, we need elected officials who will protect our rights, confront hate and bigotry, and give AAPI communities the fair representation we deserve. π§΅β¬
The DHS shutdown continues, and budget negotiations are still happening in Congress, so we have to act now to ensure no more taxpayer dollars are wasted on Trump's deadly anti-immigrant agenda.
Take action now to keep up the pressure: stopaapihate.org/hold-the-lin...
After weeks of protests, petitions, and calls to our elected officials, Noemβs disgraceful tenure at DHS is finally over.
But our fight for accountability isnβt over β a leadership change at DHS alone wonβt end the terror campaign against our communities.
π¨ BREAKING: Trump fired Kristi Noem from her position as DHS Secretary.
This comes after widespread public outcry against Noemβs recklessness. Under her leadership, federal agents sowed chaos in the streets of Minneapolis; dragged people from their homes; and murdered U.S. citizens. π§΅β¬οΈ
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind Rohingya refugee from Myanmar, was found dead in Buffalo, NY, after Border Patrol agents reportedly abandoned him without shoes miles away from his home.
In addition to his disability, Nurul did not speak English. His family wasnβt even notified about his release. β¬οΈπ§΅
Dreamers were brought to this country as children. To send them to fend for themselves in a place theyβve never known is unfortunately exactly the kind of cruelty weβve come to expect from this administration.
What happened to βthe worst of the worst?β
BREAKING: Lorth Sim - a 59-year-old man from Cambodia - was found dead in an ICE detention center in Indiana on Monday morning. He is the ninth Asian immigrant to die in ICE custody since Trump took office last year. π§΅β¬οΈ

If you make your own hongbao for the Spring Festival, send us a picture! We'd love to share our community's expressions of joy π§§
Today, billions of people are celebrating the start of the Lunar New Year. From TαΊΏt celebrations in Vietnam to the Seollal festival in Korea, this holiday holds significant cultural meaning for Asian communities in the United States and around the world. π§΅β¬οΈ
Are βalien land lawsβ threatening Asian American communities?
Donna Doan Anderson and Joanna YangQing Derman argue states are reviving discriminatory land use policies targeting Asian communities, reinforcing racial profiling in the name of national security.

Today, February 10th, people nationwide are coming together to flood the phone lines of our congressional representatives and demand they #ImpeachNoemNow.
βοΈ Find your members of Congress and call them now: secure.ngpvan.com/VNAH6rzNnkib...
Under Kristi Noem's leadership, DHS and ICE operations have become deadly. At least 32 immigrants died in ICE custody in 2025, yet Noem continues to allow ICE to operate with impunity.
Today, we join @votolatino.bsky.social and other organizations nationwide to urge Congress to #ImpeachNoemNow π§΅β¬
Over a century ago, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917βeffectively banning Asian & Pacific Islander immigrants from the U.S.
This prejudice isnβt a thing of the past. Discrimination on the basis of national origin is wrong and illegal. We stand with immigrant communities.
Yesterday, ICE detained 8 Chinese people in Monterey Park, sending shockwaves across California's AAPI communities. In a video, a child is heard pleading with law enforcement, saying βHelp me, we have nobody else,β and βtheyβre going to kill him.β
The raid was steps away from an elementary school.
From letters to Congress to national protests, everyday people are taking action against Trumpβs terror campaign in MN β and our Senators are paying attention.
Yesterday, they blocked $370 million in new funding for ICE and DHS. Itβs a step in the right direction, but our fight is not over yet. π§΅β¬οΈ
Congress is still negotiating the budget. We need to keep the pressure up!
As cities across the country participate in a nationwide strike against ICE today, we need to take action to ensure no more taxpayer dollars go to Trumpβs anti-immigrant enforcement agenda.
π¨ Tell your reps: Hold the line!
Fred Korematsu dedicated his life to protesting WW2 concentration camps in the U.S. and fighting for justice for Japanese Americans β but his work is not done. ICE is putting our communities behind bars yet again. To keep Korematsu's spirit of resistance alive, we have to stop Trump's racist regime.
βIβll never forget my government treating me like this. I really hope this will never happen to anybody else because of the way they look, if they look like the enemy of our country.β - Fred Korematsu
UPDATE: The U.S. Senate just voted NO on a bill that would've given ICE and DHS $370 million in new funding β a clear response to the public outcry against ICE's terror campaign in Minnesota.
This is a step in the right direction, but the fight is not over yet.
Today, in a massive show of support, 1,025 organizations, including immigrant justice, human rights, civil rights, faith, and labor organizations, sent a letter to members of Congress to express horror, outrage & deep grief about the recent shooting deaths by federal agents in Minneapolis.
Japanese Americans who lived through WW2 like George Takei know firsthand what it's like to be targeted based on your ethnicity + wrongfully imprisoned by the Govt.
It was unacceptable then, and itβs unacceptable now. We refuse to have our taxes be used to repeat this dark chapter of U.S. history π§΅
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Every American deserves access to federal services and programs in a language they can understand.
CAPAC Chair @meng.house.gov, @chu.house.gov, @repdangoldman.bsky.social and @vargas.house.gov introduced a bill to protect essential multilingual services under threat by the Trump administration.
The Senate will soon vote on a bill that will pump millions in new funding into ICE and DHS β allowing them to expand detention and deportation efforts and increase violence against everyday people. We cannot let this bill pass. The vote could happen as soon as tomorrow, so take action with us now β¬οΈ
Image featuring a bold message 'No More Funding for ICE' at the top against a black crumpled paper background with images of the shooting of Alex Pretti by the Border Patrol agents at the bottom. URL 'stopaapihate.org/no-more-ice-funding' is displayed below it urging people to tell their senators to oppose more funding for ICE and DHS.
In less than 3 weeks, federal immigration agents have unjustly killed two American citizens who were standing up for their immigrant neighbors and exercising their Constitutional right to protest. Go to StopAAPIHate.org/no-more-ice-funding to tell your senators to vote NO on giving ICE more funding.
