Congress: Close Irwin County Detention Center and Divest From ICE

The recent allegations of forced hysterectomies on people in immigrant detention are horrific. And we know this is just one piece of a larger, deeply disturbing puzzle: pervasive medical neglect, blatantly deficient COVID-19 precautions, and disregard of the dignity of the human beings in detention.

It's clear there is a pattern of abuse at Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers and something must be done. Help us fight in solidarity with local leaders and organizations nationwide to stop this inhumane system. Send a message urging Congress to close Irwin County Detention Center immediately and divest from ICE.

Your Message

Subject Close Irwin County Detention Center and Divest From ICE

The recent reports of people in detention being sterilized without consent or knowledge, blatant disregard for safety during a pandemic, and inadequate COVID-19 precautions, reinforces the concern that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot be trusted to care for people in their custody. The immigration detention system is fundamentally broken, and “reforms” are simply not enough. We must divest from ICE and as your constituent, I’m urging you to start by shutting down Irwin County Detention Center.

Message Body

Please, use your power to hold this agency accountable once and for all: Divest from ICE now, beginning by closing down Irwin County Detention Center.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

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.
