End Mandatory Detention in ICE Custody

Most recent signers:

The message:

Right now, immigrants who have built their lives in this country are being detained for months or years with no chance to ask a judge for release. That's the result of the Trump administration's unlawful mandatory detention policy, which we're challenging now at the Supreme Court.

But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn't slowing down. Despite continued abuses in custody, the administration is nearly doubling detention capacity with tens of billions in new funding. This expansion will only increase ICE's ability to arrest and deport people through raids on homes, workplaces, places of worship, and other community spaces.

Congress doesn't have to wait for a Supreme Court ruling to act. The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act would end the administration's abuse of mandatory detention, stop the detention of children and families, and phase out private prisons profiting off human suffering. Tell your members of Congress to pass it now.

Subject Pass the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act

Immigrants are part of our families, communities, workplaces, and places of worship. Like generations before them, they came here in search of a better life. But the Trump administration has adopted an unlawful immigration policy that subjects immigrants to a detention system defined by abuse, medical neglect, and a complete disregard for human dignity. As your constituent, I urge you to support and pass the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.

Message Body

The United States has long been a place of refuge. Mass detention is antithetical to our laws, our values, and basic human decency. Use your power to hold ICE accountable and pass the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end this cruel and dangerous detention system.

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.
