Friend,
2025 has proven once and for all that the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant obsessions were never about law and order or reforming an outdated immigration system, but instead about using the issue of immigration to criminalize people, abuse their authority, and stomp on our personal freedoms.
Below are 12 examples of the horrific abuses of power by the Trump administration and the real faces of mass deportation with their heartbreaking stories.
These abuses of power must stop. Sign our petition to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem & Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons demanding transparency and accountability.
❌JAVIER DIAZ SANTANA - who is deaf and mute, was at his car wash job when masked agents descended on his worksite like it was a warzone and shouted commands that he could not hear or understand. He later shared that the court interpreter at his hearing was the first time in weeks someone communicated with him using sign language.
❌ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women.
❌JAIME ALANÍS GARCIA - tragically lost his life when he fell off a roof during a chaotic raid that targeted a central California farm and resulted in the arrest of 300 other workers. Alanís, 57, had worked at the farm in Camarillo for 10 years and provided for his wife and daughter who live in Mexico.
❌Meet the Bay Area pastor shot in the face with a pepper ball at the Coast Guard Island protest.
❌KILMAR ÁBREGO GARCÍA - this Maryland dad is just one of the hundreds of men who were unjustly purged to El Salvador by the administration. In August, Ábrego García would get just one weekend back with his family after more than 160 days apart before officials again targeted him for deportation. He was finally reunited with his loved ones this month.
❌ICE is using a university building as a deportation office and the university says it can't do anything about it.
Stand Up Against the Abuses of Power
❌MARIE ANGE BLAISE - is one of the at least 25 individuals to die while in ICE custody when she fell seriously ill while detained at the abusive Broward Transitional Center in April. 2025 has been ICE’s deadliest year in 20 years, with some families saying their deceased loved ones had no medical issues prior to detention
❌U.S.-born Houston teen says ICE agents beat him and his father during early-morning stop.
❌RÜMEYSA ÖZTÜRK - is a Tufts University student who has been targeted under the administration’s weaponization of the immigration system in order to stifle free speech. She was abducted in broad daylight and detained for 45 days at a for-profit ICE prison.
❌U.S. veterans caught in the US deportation machinery.
❌NARCISO BARRANCO - a landscaper and dad of three U.S. Marines, who has lived here for more than three decades, was punched and kidnapped by masked mass deportation agents while he was working. “We’re willing to give all this for this country and then they take our parents like this,” said his son Alejandro.
❌GINA POLICARD - a home health worker is one of 500,000 Haitian nationals whose lives hang in the balance as the Trump administration tries to make immigrants with legal status deportable by seeking to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
