End ICE's Racist 287(g) Program

Across the country, local law enforcement – primarily sheriffs – are being empowered to harass immigrant communities through ICE’s 287(g) program. An ordinary police encounter can mean deportation or families being torn apart as a result, and the majority of local agencies participating have documented records of civil rights abuses – including beatings and killings.

287(g) grew rapidly under Trump and only continues to exacerbate racial profiling, instill fear in communities, and put disproportionate numbers of Black and Brown people into the deportation pipeline. We must put a stop to this racist program once and for all: Tell the Biden Administration to end 287(g) now.

Subject End the 287(g) program

I’m urging you to end ICE’s devastating program known as 287(g) now. This program – which grew rapidly under Trump – exacerbates racial profiling, instills fear in our communities, and tears families apart. Moreover, the majority of agencies participating in this program have documented records of civil rights abuses, including beatings and killings.

Message Body

Please, 287(g) is a broken, racist relic of the past: End it once and for all.

Sincerely,

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.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
