MIAMI – As several Central American nations and immigrants in the U.S. celebrate their Independence Day, community organizations are urging President Biden to issue new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) redesignations for El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and issue a designation for Guatemala.
The Miramar Circle is a coalition that focuses on the well-being of people who have to go to the Miramar ICE Facility for supervision. The group distributes essential resources and aims to expose ICE and build community resistance against the criminalization and deportation of immigrants and refugees in South Florida. On Wednesday, September 14 at 9:30 am we will join forces with organizations and immigrant families at the ICE ERO facility, where many face challenges while checking in to their immigration case visits.
