Content Warning: this email discusses forced sterilization.
This is
horrific.
On Monday, a whistleblower revealed the mass forced sterilization
happening at an ICE detention center in Georgia.
Forced sterilization is a tool of oppression and white supremacy, with a
long, abominable history in this country. Non-consensual hysterectomies
are rooted in eugenics and racism; the practice is horrific and cruel, and
it strips away people’s most fundamental human rights.
We need to hold ICE and this Administration accountable for this wanton
inhumanity, and it’s why I led the call for a Congressional investigation
into what has occurred in Georgia.
But our outrage in this moment is not enough — we need to dismantle a
broken immigration system that perpetuates violence and devalues the lives
of immigrants.
The Detention Watch Network is working every day to abolish immigrant
detention, end xenophobia, and finally put an end to our system of mass
deportation. [ [link removed] ]If you can afford it, will you make a $3

The current occupant of the White House has targeted, ostracized, and
harmed immigrant communities since before he even took office. Family
separation, an unjust border wall, a ‘Muslim Ban,’ and now the forced
sterilization of immigrants held in detention centers. The Administration
has made our country a more hostile place for immigrants.
We must abolish ICE, end immigrant detention, and move toward a system of
immigration that is centered on human rights, compassion, and dignity.

Network to help end immigrant detention and put a stop to human rights
abuses against immigrants.
Thank you for taking action today,
