John, As you know, the Trump administration's attacks on our immigrant neighbors and newcomers are unprecedented. Recently, the administration has: ❌ tried to block asylum seekers and effectively end asylum, ❌ jail children and families indefinitely, ❌ prevent low-income families from getting green cards, and ❌ steal money from agencies like FEMA to fund more immigration jails and deportations. That's a lot to keep track of and a lot to fight back against. That's why we're inviting you to join us and our partners at United We Dream and MoveOn, tomorrow, Thursday, August 29, at 7pm ET for an update call about immigration and what you can do to protect immigrants. Sign up for the call now! During the call, NIJC Director of Policy Heidi Altman will speak about how you can hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) accountable in the upcoming federal budget and cut funding for detentions and deportations. | |
We hope you'll be able to join us tomorrow! Thank you for standing up for immigrants and asylum seekers. -The NIJC team | |
