a little concerned to see news from Spain that the Supreme Court has suspended voting rights of citizens (like me and my children) who obtained citizenship through their spanish born parents and grandparents. It is extremely unusual for a citizen not to have the right to vote in general. It goes against Spain's constitution. Of course this question to the Court was put forward by Vox, the far right conservative party. it will have to be resolved before the elections. It would be unprecedented in Europe in post war, post Franco, times for a class of citizens to be excluded from voting. Either they restore the right by clarifying the law, or they strip us of our citizenship completely. I just can't imagine there would be wide domestic political support for disenfranchising millions of people who have clearly declared their intention and desire to be reconnected with Spain. our family has built a lot of future plans around our spanish and EU citizenship. A change like this would be deeply disappointing. 🇪🇸 https://english.elpais.com/spain/2026-09-09/spains-top-court-suspends-voting-rights-for-some-descendants-of-civil-war-exiles.html #espana #lmd #spain #vox #citizenship #farright #immigration #franco

NEW 📰 ORG's report reveals the sweeping use of AI across immigration and UK borders. Driving it is the idea that migration can be 'solved' by technology. But the biases and discrimination of anti-immigration policies are born again in code. This is the automated hostile environment.

Our report shows how AI has become stitched into the UK Home Office. From detecting potential sham marriages and age estimation of asylum seekers to searching phones and producing summaries for asylum decisions. Plus border surveillance with live facial recognition, AI-powered drones and satellites. #ai #report #immigration #asylum #HomeOffice #AutomatedDiscrimination #HostileEnvironment #ukpolitics #ukpol

Across the country people know the value of migrants who work across a range of sectors *and* contribute to the country's culture & economy, yet the Labour Govt. like its Tory predecessors continues to deny this value, seeking to denigrate migrants in an attempt to appeal to voters with 'legitimate concerns' about immigration. As Gaby Hinsliff, argues this hasn't worked on its now terms, and has also undermined the value of migrants to the UK. #immigration #politics

I'm not judging anybody who fled the US if they're in targeted groups. Some of these people might be. But whether we want all these people back or not, it's a positive sign they're coming back. It's like fish coming back when you clean up a river. There's also the fact that nowhere is safe anyway, which is one reason I stood and fought. Unless you have another planet to go to, where do you escape the fascist threat? https://www.wired.com/story/they-fled-trumps-america-now-they-regret-it/#trump #fascism #immigration

Educators have been heroic defending their students from #ICE. In San Francisco, educators are among those escorting students' families to #immigration court. Not only do these efforts keep ICE agents from kidnapping law abiding people from court, but support from educators, faith leaders, and other community members improves outcomes. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/ice-detentions-ramp-sf-educators-215507510.html #California #FuckICE

I have no doubt it’s true. Lawyers for Rep #IlhanOmar (D-Minnesota) on Friday accused federal authorities of ignoring key restrictions that a #judge placed on the search of the lawmaker’s DC residence this week & demanded the immediate return of all property seized from the home. #GiftArticle #Trump #law #DOJ #immigration #SeparationOfPowers #judiciary #Congress #RevengePolitics #MafiaState #WhiteChristianNationalism #Islamophobia #Xenophobia #racism #sexism
