John, 

The United States detained more children over the last year than ever before.

This horrific practice is not in line with our American values—but the American Immigration Council is on the ground ensuring migrant children are treated humanely and fairly. Your continued support is needed now more than ever. 

With help from donors like you, the Council can: 

• Limit the time children are kept in immigration detention through our advocacy. 

• Litigate for humane detention conditions.   

• Represent families in their lawsuits over the trauma they suffered from being torn apart under the family separation policy.  

• Provide free legal services to detained families 

This important work is not just for today, but for decades to come as we mitigate the negative impact of harmful immigration policies. We cannot do this work without you. Join us with a tax-deductible year-end gift. 

On behalf of everyone dedicated to preserving our American values and unique immigration tradition, I thank you. 

Sincerely,

Beth Werlin

Executive Director

We work to shape how America thinks about immigration and acts towards immigrants. To work towards a more fair and just immigration system, the Council brings together four coordinated approaches to advance change—litigation, research, advocacy, and communications.
