US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

Looking For National Defense Areas Along The US Southern Border

Our reporting started, like much of our work, in a spreadsheet. As I parsed through federal court data, I noticed something odd: Within months of President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, prosecutors began filing obscure charges related to trespassing on military property — so many, in fact, that more cases were filed in 2025 than in the prior decade. Nearly all of these charges originated from cases along the U.S. southern border, where last spring, the White House designated large swaths of land as national defense areas.

Haitians In The US Mobilize Against ICE And Deportation Threats

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 300,000 Haitian immigrants in the US, following intense pressure from over 300 labor unions, faith groups, and rights advocates. The victory however, has done nothing to quell the outrage at the government’s efforts to terminate the protections. Community groups say tens of thousands of Haitian immigrants are especially vulnerable as ICE forces are set to deploy to Haitian hubs in the state of Ohio, Springfield and Columbus, according to a leaked White House memo.

US Border Force Reported To The UN For Human Rights Abuse

A legal non-profit in the US has sent damning evidence of US border force officials appalling persisting record of human rights abuses at open air detention sites, to the United Nations. On Monday 7 April, the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law (CHRCL) and the Southern Border Communities Coalition (SBCC) submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) on US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)’s continued human rights abuses at open air detention sites. The CHRCL is a legal non-profit that protects and advances the rights of migrants.
