Petition to Congress: We urge you to oppose funding for cruel, inhumane mass deportations. |
In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration is planning to use IRS data to target immigrants for detention and deportation. ICE is creating lists of students to detain based on their political views.
Trump is doing every vile, destructive thing he can come up with to carry out mass deportations.
But in order for this cruel, horrific dragnet to continue, Congress would need to fund it. Instead, Congress should fully fund Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and public education. We must say no to Trump's destructive policies and yes to the government services that people need.
Sign the petition: Don't fund Trump's mass deportations! Instead, fully fund America's social safety net — including Medicaid and Medicare.
Elected leaders and privacy experts warn that this IRS-ICE data sharing would be a violation of privacy laws passed after Richard Nixon attempted to weaponize the IRS against political enemies. It would also be an utter violation of public trust, after the government told immigrants for decades that they should file taxes without fear of the information being used against them.
This expansion of targeted surveillance should shock every member of Congress, every judge, and every person in this country.
Congress must block funding for Trump's deportation dragnet.
Add your name: Stop Trump's deportation machine.
