President Trump confirmed that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning deportation raids against immigrant families tomorrow.
According to news reports, the raids will likely take place in cities including Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, and San Francisco.
If you are targeted by an immigration official, I want you to know that you have rights.

These planned raids are another prong in President Trump’s fear campaign against immigrant communities. Targeting people who have lived in our country for years and breaking apart families creates fear and mistrust. It does not make our communities safer.
As a career prosecutor, I’ve heard it countless times from law enforcement officials. When people fear reporting crimes due to their immigration status, real criminals aren’t brought to justice and our communities are less safe.
One of the best things we can all do right now is support the organizations doing the difficult work on the ground of protecting our immigrant communities.
If you’re able, please consider making a contribution today to groups doing critical work on the ground. Pitch in here to make a split contribution between National Immigration Law Center, The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, and United We Dream Action »
