With Trump 2.0 we expect swift & cruel mass detention & deportation tactics. We are committed to supporting local community groups that will be the first line of defense in keeping people safe. Read our response to Trump returning to the White House:

The Laken Riley Act will target thousands more people into a deadly immigration detention system. Elected leaders must depart from the dehumanizing status quo & oppose Trump’s cruel deportation & detention agenda. S/O to @ImmJustice for holding our elected leaders accountable!
Congress has passed the Laken Riley Act, an anti-immigrant bill that will expand mandatory immigrant detention and give billions of dollars to ICE. We asked @SenRubenGallego @SenFettermanPA @SenCortezMasto why they voted for this horrible bill.

Despite Biden’s failures & Trump’s return, the fight to end immigration detention & build incarceration-free economies has seen notable wins. We will not let Trump or anyone else, including Democratic leaders, drown out our vision towards more humane and just immigration policy.

26 lives. That was the devastating cost of President Biden’s decision not to reduce this country’s reliance on immigration detention. He will forever be remembered for his failures and cruelty.
