Shut Down the ICE Detention Machine

Most recent signers:

The message:

The Trump administration illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident and recent graduate of Columbia University, in direct retaliation for his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights. ICE then quickly moved him from New York to a detention facility in Louisiana – thousands of miles away from his lawyers and family.

Mahmoud is not alone. Tens of thousands of immigrants are currently in ICE detention across the country, where abuse, medical neglect, and complete disregard for the dignity of people in its custody are commonplace. But right now, Congress is poised to give away more than $68 billion in taxpayer dollars for ICE to facilitate Trump’s mass detention and deportation program.

This is unconscionable. With the budget reconciliation bill slated soon for a vote, urge Congress to reject any bills that would fuel the abusive ICE detention system.

Subject Stop ICE’s cruel, wasteful detention expansion

The United States has long provided a home for immigrants and people seeking safety. The mass detention of immigrants – including families and kids – is antithetical to our laws and values. As your constituent, with the budget reconciliation bill slated soon for a vote, I’m urging you to reject any bills that would fuel the expansion of ICE’s ruthless, abusive detention system.

Message Body

Expanding our country’s already mass immigration detention system will only help President Trump carry out his draconian mass detention and deportation program. The bottom line is that this system is fundamentally inhumane, unnecessarily costly, and continues to put lives at risk: Please reject any bills that fund this cruel abusive mass detention machine.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES
