We wanted to let our followers know this is our final post on X. Please be sure to follow us on Instagram at @iinewengland, and Facebook + LinkedIn at the International Institute of New England for the latest immigration news and ways to get involved. Thank you for your support!
Whether you’re a U.S. citizen, a green card holder, a student on a visa, or undocumented, you have legal rights! Find out more information and resources on our website ➡️ bit.ly/KYRMIRA
This executive order is unconstitutional and does not align with the values that have defined our nation as one of welcome and opportunity. It puts countless at risk of losing their status and benefits as American citizens, and possibly deportation.
"More than 90,000 immigrants came into Massachusetts last year. Those folks represent the future of our commonwealth…” IINE President and CEO Jeff Thielman told @LowellSun, in lieu of Pres. Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. Read the article ⬇️
‘This executive order should not be made law’ trib.al/nTEQyie
@WMUR9 The executive order endangers those fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries, including Afghan refugees facing the threat of the Taliban.
"It's so hard, especially for the Afghan supporters who are coming here,” said IINE Managing Director Henry Harris after Pres. Trump's executive order suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program left Afghan refugees in limbo. Read the @WMUR9 article: hubs.li/Q033ZzSq0
@jeffthielman @WBUR Thousands of refugees expecting to arrive in the U.S. to safety and their families were left devastated, including hundreds in Massachusetts. We must restore the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and honor our nation’s commitments.
“This is a very sad time for families waiting for refugees to come, their family to come,” IINE President + CEO @jeffthielman told @WBUR after Pres. Trump’s executive order suspending the #refugeeresettlement program. Read the article: hubs.li/Q033ZBNZ0
Trump’s executive order to militarize our southern border and deploy ICE to conduct raids in sanctuary cities will only create more chaos and harm, instead of developing a safer, more effective immigration system.
“The general sense of rounding up people and cracking down on people who are here makes everybody feel afraid and is almost its own form of terror,” IINE SVP + Chief Advancement Officer Alexandra Weber told @masslivenews about Trump’s deportation plans. Read the article ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The program has helped millions of people fleeing humanitarian crises find safety in the U.S. since 1980 and is integral to our nation's standing as a global humanitarian leader.
“...the refugee program is safe, the clients are vetted,” IINE Chief Program Officer Anca Moraru told @GBHNews as Pres. Trump suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Read the article to hear from anxious families affected: wgbh.org/news/local/202…

Nearly 1,600 #Afghans, including family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel, have had their resettlement flights canceled, leaving them stranded in #Afghanistan. We urge the Administration to honor its commitments and stand with our allies. Learn more: reuters.com/world/us/trump… #StandWithRefugees #SupportOurAllies

“We hope the president reinstates the refugee program as soon as possible,” IINE President + CEO @jeffthielman told @BostonGlobe in the wake of President Donald Trump's sweeping #executiveorders, including one halting the refugee resettlement program. Read the article

Saynab reunited with her daughter Hayat after a decade of waiting; they are still waiting for more family members to come to the U.S. Many families like Saynab worry about the new administration pausing the refugee resettlement program, if not majorly restricting it.
“I hadn’t seen my daughter in long years. And I started to cry,” Saynab Elmi, a Somali refugee resettled by IINE last month, told @GBHNews. Read the article to learn more about the many refugees, like Saynab, we are working to resettle by Inauguration Day before the doors close:
Elmi and her son are among the many recent refugees coming to Massachusetts in a tremendous undertaking by local agencies to resettle as many people as possible before Inauguration Day.wgbh.org/news/local/202…
The proposed requirements would mean turning away families who have faced traumatic experiences to find safety and build a brighter future in our state.
“There’s always been a way we’ve found to make the commitment to people to keep them off the streets,” IINE SVP + Chief Advancement Officer Xan Weber told the @BostonGlobe in response to @MassGovernor's proposed residency requirements for shelters. Read the article ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Governor Maura Healey’s pitch to change right-to-shelter law has caused concern for migrants and advocates, who worry Massachusetts is abandoning its responsibility to help. trib.al/fSJdOII
