10/13: COVID-19 continues to be a leading cause of death in the U.S. in September 2021
Jared Ortaliza, Kendal Orgera, Krutika Amin, and Cynthia Cox - KFF
COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death across most of 2020, but in December 2020 and early 2021, the illness surged and briefly became the number one leading cause of death in the U.S., far surpassing even cancer and heart disease deaths in those months.
With the rapid uptake in vaccinations in the months when vaccines first became widely available, COVID-19 deaths fell sharply. COVID-19 dropped to the number 7 leading cause of death in the U.S. in July 2021.
However, with the more infectious COVID-19 Delta variant, insufficient vaccination rates, and local and state governments easing up social distancing restrictions, COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths increased again. Vaccination rates are particularly lagging for younger adults and people living in certain states. As of October 7, 2021, about 78% of adults (ages 18+) in the U.S. have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and over 50 million adults remain unvaccinated.....Link to the Article: http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/cgi-bin/datacgi/database.cgi?file=Issues&report=SingleArticle&ArticleID=0994
12/2: U.S. finalizes plan to return migrants to Mexico under Trump-era policy as soon as next week
CAMILO MONTOYA-GALVEZ – CBS News
The U.S. government has finalized plans to return non-Mexican asylum-seekers to Mexico under a Trump-era border policy that the Biden administration is set to reinstate next week because of a federal court order, senior U.S. officials announced Thursday.
After months of negotiations, the two countries brokered an agreement to gradually restart the so-called "Remain in Mexico" program, which the Trump administration instituted in early 2019 to require asylum-seekers to wait for their court hearings outside the U.S., often in squalid tent camps.
U.S. border authorities could start returning migrants under the policy as soon as Monday, senior administration officials said during a call with reporters. Enrollees will be provided notices to appear at immigration courts in San Diego, El Paso, Laredo and Brownsville....Link to the Article: http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/cgi-bin/datacgi/database.cgi?file=Issues&report=SingleArticle&ArticleID=0995

Useful Immigrant Resources on Detention and Deportation
Immigrants and their supporters are participating in marches all over the country to protest proposed national legislation and to seek justice for immigrants. The materials available here provide important information about the rights and risks involved for anyone who is planning to participate in the ongoing marches.
If government agents question you, it is important to understand your rights. You should be careful in the way you speak when approached by the police, FBI, or INS. If you give answers, they can be used against you in a criminal, immigration, or civil case.
The ACLU's publications below provide effective and useful guidance in several languages for many situations. The brochures apprise you of your legal rights, recommend how to preserve those rights, and provide guidance on how to interact with officials.
