Yesterday, I listened to Elizabeth Rao’s heartbreaking story about losing her mother, Dr. Jane Wu. A dedicated Chinese American scientist, Dr. Wu faced discrimination and racial profiling by her employers, leading her to take her own life.
The Trump administration has exploited millions of Americans’ personal data through legal loopholes. There must be accountability.
The Chairs of CAPAC, @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, and @usprogressives.bsky.social led 53 members of Congress in demanding protection for Americans’ privacy rights.
Section 702 of FISA violates the 4th Amendment—full stop. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding a course correction. We can protect our country without infringing on constitutional rights.
This January, Thao was dragged out of his home by federal agents in below-freezing temperatures. He and other Hmong Americans in Minnesota are still recovering from the physical and mental toll of ICE's terror campaign in their cities.

🕯️Today, we join sangat members in Indianapolis and Sikhs nationwide to commemorate the five-year anniversary of the April 15, 2021, mass shooting at a FedEx ground facility where eight individuals, including four Sikhs, were killed.
If SCOTUS allows Trump's birthright citizenship EO to proceed, it could create a underclass of people without citizenship, access to public education, social benefits, or voting rights.
For Norman Wong, being treated as a second-class citizen is not a hypothetical thing. It's his family history.

Cynthia Choi of @stopaapihate.org: It should be an open-and-shut case. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right enshrined in the 14th Amendment. It’s as fundamental to the United States as the freedom of speech
"...The birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court is not some isolated policy debate. It’s part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to put an end to multiracial democracy as we know it, by making it harder for communities of color..."

Many AA/PI families feel the impacts of Trump's anti-immigrant agenda — including the fear of being racially profiled by ICE, and the trauma of being wrongfully detained and deported.
In fact, most AA/PI adults think Trump has gone too far and is doing more harm than good on immigration. ⬇️
Norman Wong, a descendant of Wong Kim Ark, the Chinese American whose Supreme Court citizenship case affirmed birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, shares why protecting birthright citizenship matters.
"In 1965, my parents immigrated to the US from South Korea. They found a home in Koreatown, and it was there that my siblings and I were born. Because of birthright citizenship, all three of us were recognized as U.S. citizens from the moment we entered the world."

If Trump's attack on birthright citizenship succeeds, how will it affect Asian communities?
According to our co-founder and co-director, Cynthia Choi, it would completely upend the lives of immigrant families like her own.
Hundreds of Asian Americans gathered outside the Supreme Court to show their support for birthright citizenship.

Norman Wong, retired carpenter, great grandson of Wong Kim Ark, and now activist to protect #birthrightcitizenship.
It’s not enough for President Trump to be against the children of immigrants, but he has to engage in anti-Asian hate too. There’s a through line from the COVID days and his “Wuhan virus” and “kung flu” language. We haven’t forgotten. @stopaapihate.org
@caasanfrancisco.bsky.social and @stopaapihate.org are on the steps of the Supreme Court today with Norman Wong, descendant of #WongKimArk. #BirthrightCitizenship is at stake, and Trump's unconstitutional EO hurts all of us.
They would also be denied voting rights — shrinking the size and strength of Asian American political power for generations to come.
We cannot let this happen. The Constitution — not the cruel agenda of one President — decides who is a citizen.
Without birthright citizenship, many of these children would be born stateless with limited freedoms and limited opportunities, and be vulnerable to immigration enforcement in the only country they've ever known.
For generations, Asian Americans came to the U.S. on visas to work for U.S. companies and study at U.S. universities. They contributed to our communities and economy while trying to get citizenship.
Birthright citizenship protects the rights of their children to grow up as equal members of society.
ACLU's Cecilia Wang, who is arguing in the Supreme Court against Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, is the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants. Norman Wong, the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, is outside the court. Ancestors are watching.
This morning, SCOTUS ⚖️ hears oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case. You can tune in at 7am PT/10 am ET: bit.ly/4tr51CZ
