Tell Congress and DHS to welcome immigrants—start with ending immigration detention
Share
We all deserve the opportunity to build a good life, no matter where we were born. But today Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids terrorize our neighbors. Immigrant detention centers separate families while subjecting people to inhumane conditions. And private prison companies are profiting from this human suffering.
It doesn't have to be this way. Our system can be improved so that applications are processed more quickly. And immigrants can be treated with dignity and respect—and retain their freedom—while they go through that process. Join us now to demand that DHS and Congress take immediate steps to create a just and equitable approach to immigration, starting with closing private detention centers and ending immigrant imprisonment.
