TELL CONGRESS: Trump’s deportation plan grows by the day — now including a
plan to jail 30,000 migrants in Guantanamo Bay before deporting them. And
Trump wants tens of billions of dollars to fuel this deportation dragnet.

Hi,
Trump is sending ICE through cities to arrest and jail large groups of
people — even issuing quotas to ramp up arrests.^1 And now he has a plan
to imprison 30,000 migrants at a detention center in Guantanamo Bay.^2
Trump is pulling out all the stops, and requesting billions of dollars,
for his inhumane deportation dragnet.
When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that so-called ICE detention
centers would turn into prison camps, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she
hoped “we do open as many prisons as possible to round up” migrants.^3
Trump, Greene, and this administration will continue aggressively
imprisoning and deporting people to devastating effects. Congress must
refuse to fund the mass deportation machine.

Trump’s ICE sweeps followed his shutdown of access to asylum and his
threats to federal prosecutors and state and local officials who refuse to
help him carry out his mass deportation plans.^4
Donald Trump has pledged to deport 15 to 20 million people.^5
If he even partially succeeds, it will tear apart countless families and
disrupt communities across the country. Deporting millions of our family,
friends, and neighbors will not make our communities safe or help people
thrive.
Our lawmakers need to stand firm to protect immigrant communities from
arbitrary detention and deportation.
