Immigrants make our communities stronger. They are parents, students, neighbors, workers, business owners, and friends.
But today, our government is taking brutal measures to detain and deport more people. They are tearing families apart. Arresting people in front of courthouses, schools, and workplaces. Jailing people in inhumane conditions, without access to family or lawyers.
Just one week ago, an ICE agent shot and killed Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good. This was a devastating reminder of the violence of immigration arrests—and not the only one.
As people of conscience, it is up to all of us to respond.
Tell Congress and the Trump administration: Get ICE out of our communities—stop detention and deportation now.
As a Quaker organization, the American Friends Service Committee believes that every person has inherent worth. We believe everyone should be treated with dignity, no matter where they were born.
We don’t want ICE disrupting the peace and safety of our communities. We shouldn’t waste billions of taxpayer dollars on detention and deportation. We want an immigration system that is welcoming, dignified, and just.
