  2. De straat op vóór solidariteit: vluchtelingen welkom

    Domplein, Utrecht (waarschijnlijk/probably), donderdag 21 mei om 18:30 CEST

    (English below)

    Vanuit het hele land gaan we

    DE STRAAT OP vóór SOLIDARITEIT: VLUCHTELINGEN WELKOM

    Donderdag 21 mei - 18:30 - Utrecht

    Na het geweld van de afgelopen weken is het tijd voor een ander geluid. Wij gaan de straat op vóór solidariteit, wij zeggen WEES WELKOM tegen mensen op de vlucht. Want waar je ook vandaan komt, wat voor huidskleur of religie je ook hebt, uiteindelijk willen en verdienen we allemaal hetzelfde. Een veilig huis, een veilige toekomst voor onze kinderen, betaalbare boodschappen.

    Daarom gaan we naast onze buren staan, of ze nou gevlucht zijn of altijd in een veilig land hebben gewoond, of ze een migratieachtergrond hebben of nooit uit hun geboorteland zijn verhuisd. Een samenleving maak je samen.

    WEES WELKOM

    From every corner of the country we

    ARE GOING OUT ONTO THE STREETS for SOLIDARITY: REFUGEES ARE WELCOME

    Thursday 21st of May - 18:30 - Utrecht

    After the violence of the past few weeks, it's time for a different voice. We are going out into to streets for solidarity, we say BE WELCOME to people currently fleeing. Because wherever you come from, whatever skin colour or religion you may have, in the end we all want and deserve the same. A safe house, a safe future for our children, affordable groceries.

    So we stand next to our neighbours, whether they've fled or have always lived in a safe country, whether they have a migration background or have never moved out of their country of birth. Only together we can form a real society.


    BE WELCOME

    Thursday 21st of May - 18:30 - Utrecht

    'Numbers have certainly declined': #PortlandME to close shelter for #AsylumSeekers [and homeless people who need shelter during freezing temperatures]

    Excerpt: "The city also needs to develop a gameplan for a #WarmingShelter by next winter, as this location served as the city’s only #OvernightShelter.

    "Allicia Santamore has been living on the streets of Portland for eight years and considers the shelter to be a lifeline.

    " 'The warming shelter is awesome for people to sit when its six o'clock in the morning and you got no place to go. You can't stay in your tent no more, it’s f------ freezing,' Santamore said.

    "The city says they are talking with Maine DHHS about what to do, but they say it all comes down to funding."

  6. The Reality Facing #AsylumSeekers in #Maine

    "Caring City

    Portland has proven its support time and time again. The City opened the Portland Exposition Building in 2019 and again in 2023 to help immigrants seeking refuge. Helped by City workers, local nonprofits, and volunteers, many found housing and received work permits. But now, grants and federal support are drying up.

    'Things are really stressful and chaotic,' Stein said. 'The rules keep changing all the time. The fees asylum seekers pay have had huge increases.'

    As she talked to me, she read a news alert on her phone about a change in the duration of work permits. From December 4th, newly issued work permits will expire after 18 months, instead of the previous five years.

    Lives Disrupted

    The Immigrant Legal Aid Program (#ILAP) offers immigrants legal support and far more. Lisa Parisio, ILAP’s Policy Director, said, 'People in Maine are having their immigration statuses and protections stripped away, losing access to work permits, and immigration enforcement has dramatically increased.'

    Families left without bread winners, possibly without a vehicle or other resources, are trying to get on with their lives.

    'Be as prepared as possible,' advised attorney Jenny Beverly, an immigration attorney working at Haven Law in Portland, Maine. 'Give a trusted friend a copy of your complete asylum application, with copies of entry documents, passports, ‘Notice to Appear,’ evidence of filing (a receipt given on acceptance of an asylum application).'

    Family will need all that and more simply to find someone detained by federal agents. At the very least, she said, 'Share your alien number, birthplace, birthdate, and your full name.' "

  10. 🚨 The #GhostFlights: #Deportation Flights #Disappearing Thousands Arrested by #ICE

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 6, 2026

    "We've been tracking the Ghost Flights, disappearing migrants, moms, asylum seekers, and others arrested in Minneapolis, who are quickly grabbed and taken away at a private terminal at Minneapolis international airport.

    "The charter airlines are making it harder to track them, but here's what we found: #GlobalX, #Eastern and #Omni based in #TulsaOK, have operated most of these, with Sun Country also operating some of the flights.

    "These secretive flights take those arrested to deportation hubs in isolated areas, where they are sent to prison, deported to other countries, or constantly shifted on flights. These secretive hubs are in #DadeCollier in the Florida Everglades; Alexandria in central Louisiana; and Harlingen on the Texas border.

    "Those arrested are boarded shackled in chains from their wrists to their feet, and often denied water and food, and abused. While these secretive flights disappear people, their families desperately search for them.

    "The flights out of #MesaAZ in the #Phoenix area are deporting hundreds on each flight to #Venezuela. A recent flight out of Mesa deported those arrested to #Russia and #Iran. The past flights show the men were immediately given #Draft notices for military service when they arrived in Russia. Protesters and political #AsylumSeekers face worse.

    "As for the chartered airlines, the main contract is held by #CSI in #AlbuquerqueNM, who contracts out the other airlines.

    "Yesterday, a Ghost Flight landed in #Guantanamo and then #Haiti. These are #moms, #workers, asylum seekers, #LegalResidents, and most are whisked away and denied due process. More than 2,000 have been deported from #Minneapolis.

    "Other major hubs for deportation flights are #ElPaso, #Miami, #SanAntonio, and #TacomaWA. The deportation flights are arriving in every region of the world, the Americas, Asia, and Africa." 😱

  14. Purim in the second term of the #Ahasuerus / #Haman administration:

    Purim calls on us to emulate Esther, our model for saving communities threatened by the #corrupt #tyrant and his scheming, evil counselor. Our tradition demands that we intervene on behalf of #refugees, #asylumseekers, #LGBT, #women, #Ukraine, #veterans, #federalemployees, and all those targeted by #hate.
