We all deserve to live in safety and peace—wherever we were born. 

But today, the Trump administration is undermining those values. It is turning away people fleeing violence, gutting asylum protections, and expanding detention and deportation.   

The Supreme Court has now affirmed some of the administration’s most harmful policies—putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk of deportation. 

Congress must act now. Tell your representatives to protect immigrant rights and welcome people with dignity.
