Hi,

Trump has a plan to imprison 30,000 migrants at a detention center in Guantanamo Bay.¹ And his Department of Homeland Security said it’s already preparing to send more people to the infamous prison.²

Trump’s goal of deporting 15-20 million people is cruel, impractical, and extremely costly.³ Jailing immigrants in Guantanamo is just one expensive plank of this awful policy and we need Congress to say NO to its funding.

Sign the petition: Don’t fund Trump’s Guantanamo Bay immigrant prison!

Trump’s mass deportations — including the ICE sweeps that are already underway — 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.

Trump is even threatening federal prosecutors and state and local officials if they refuse to help him carry out his mass deportation plans.⁴

Our lawmakers need to stand firm to protect immigrant communities from arbitrary detention and deportation.

Add your name: Stop funding for Trump’s deportation machine.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
