Dear Jack,

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress: Protect
military families from
deportation

The Trump administration is trying to tear apart hundreds of military
families.^1

For decades, thousands of immigrants put their lives on the line to defend
the United States and gain citizenship. In fact, nearly 130,000 troops
from more than 30 countries have become citizens through military service
since 2001.^2 But under Trump, immigrant veterans and active duty service
members and their families are all under threat.

The Trump regime is planning to gut a program that protects immigrant
military families from deportation. Speak out now to demand that Congress
pass legislation to fight this attack and keep military families safe.

At CREDO, we are fighting for an America where citizenship is accessible
to all and doesn't require immigrants to be extraordinary or put their
lives in danger to prove their worth. But at the same time, we know we
have to counter the attacks Trump is hurling at our communities now.

Trump's latest attack would gut USCIS' Parole in Place program, which
allows undocumented family members of active duty military to stay in the
country while they adjust their immigration status. Sen. Duckworth's
Military Families Parole in Place Act would safeguard this program by
making it law.^3

Under the Trump regime, immigrant veterans and active duty service members
face huge threats at home.^4 During the chaos of Trump's mass raids over
the summer, Navy sailor Enoch Orona told NPR that his greatest worry was
whether ICE would deport his mother, an undocumented immigrant, during his
third tour of duty.^5 Passing the Military Families Parole in Place Act
would provide much needed relief to soldiers like Orona, and hundreds of
immigrant military families like his.
