TELL CONGRESS: The largest single ICE raid in history targeted a Hyundai factory in Georgia and led to the arrest of nearly 500 people. Trump’s violent, terror-filled ICE raids are ruining lives, tearing communities apart, and harming America’s relationships with its allies. Sign the petition: End mass deportations and violent ICE raids!

A violent ICE raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia last week, the largest single raid in Department of Homeland Security history, led to the arrest of 475 people.1,2

Panic and confusion spread across the plant as federal agents descended on workers. Several people tried to flee into a nearby sewage pond3 — desperately trying to escape brutal, abusive ICE detention facilities. The White House has made these horrific deportation raids a top priority.

Congress must make a stand against Trump’s vicious mass deportations dragnet and protect our communities from ICE.

Sign the petition: End Trump’s mass deportations! Stop violent ICE raids and shut down inhumane immigrant prisons.

The utter brutality and senselessness of Trump’s mass deportations were crystal clear in the raid on Hyundai.

Most of those detained in the raid are South Korean nationals, and now America’s relationship with South Korea has become strained.4 The South Korean Foreign Minister said that the U.S. will “suffer significant losses” if the still under-construction Hyundai factory can no longer be completed.5

Without strong Congressional action, the White House will only be more emboldened to ramp up its terror — especially after the far-right Supreme Court, just yesterday, backed the racist tactics of Trump’s ICE raids.6

Lawmakers must stand against these authoritarian escalations and protect our communities from Trump’s out of control ICE.

Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s violent ICE raids and mass deportations NOW!

Thanks for taking action,
