Pamela, ICE raids aren't new, but the Trump administration has escalated its tactics with cruelty—targeting schools, houses of worship, and other previously protected spaces. These raids harm everyone in our communities and don't make us safer.
Under the recent executive orders, people targeted for arrest will be targeted for detention without access to legal help even though many have lawful claims to return home to their families and communities in the U.S.
Leaders at the state and local levels must work toward ensuring that people facing the devastating consequences of deportation have government-funded immigration legal representation to keep their communities safe and their families together.
Together, we can protect one another and advocate for due process, family unity, and humanity in our immigration system. Learn more about how to navigate these challenging times and advocate for a humane and just immigration system.
In community,
