Tell Governor Haslam to Veto the Mass Deportation Bill

TAKE ACTION NOW

Time is running out to urge Governor Haslam to veto legislation that would effectively turn all local and state law enforcement officers into unpaid federal immigration agents.

HB 2315 allows for the warrantless detention of immigrants based on requests from federal immigration agents and prohibits local law enforcement from ensuring that there is probable cause or a judicial warrant before detaining individuals. The measure also requires all law enforcement officers to inquire about immigration and citizenship status and punishes local governments if their law enforcement agencies adopt, formally or informally, policies or practices that limit entanglement with federal immigration enforcement.

In addition to its potential Fourth Amendment violations, this legislation harms immigrant families, supports warrantless searches and erodes immigrants’ trust in police, leading to underreporting of crime by victims and witnesses.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Governor Haslam to veto HB 2315 and ensure that immigrant families in our state are treated fairly.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
