She was taken wrongfully away from her family. We need her. She is our main provider. She is miles away from us and we want to help and get her name and case out there to help us get her out and fight her case outside the facility. Our mother is a loving and caring person. She has no criminal record and all we want it to help her out and get her out.  La separaron injustamente de su familia. La necesitamos, es nuestro principal sustento. Está lejos de nosotros y queremos ayudarla a que su nombre y su caso sean conocidos para que podamos sacarla de la detencion y defender su caso. Nuestra madre es una persona cariñosa y atenta, no tiene antecedentes penales y lo único que queremos es ayudarla y sacarla de allí.

In the first year of Trump’s second term, we’ve seen militarized ICE agents aggressively patrolling our streets, wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens and legal residents, and carrying out a record number of deportations. And the Trump administration has made it clear: They are only getting started. The hateful rhetoric of this administration paired with the violent tactics of ICE and Border Patrol are sowing fear into our communities and causing lasting damage to our country.   Governors have the ability to immediately take strong countermeasures to protect immigrant communities within their states. Together, we can demand accountability and ensure our state leaders stand up to the Trump administration's senseless violence by doing whatever’s necessary to protect our neighbors.  We are calling on Democratic governors to immediately implement these crucial policies to protect their states from Trump’s lawless attacks on immigrants:  • Immediately terminate and prohibit all statewide and local 287(g) agreements—contracts that allow local and state police to function as immigration agents for ICE. • Pass or strengthen sanctuary measures that prevent the use of state and local resources in ICE’s deportation and detention operations. • Prepare a coordinated response to mass raids by convening a task force to communicate when and where deportations are taking place and funding emergency resources, such as legal clinics, for deportation defense. • Expand and publicize state assistance programs, including medical care and food assistance, for mixed-status families and undocumented immigrants. • Establish oversight bodies to investigate civil rights violations by federal immigration agents operating in their states. Our state leaders cannot sit idly by, allowing Trump to decimate our communities and deport our neighbors. His anti-immigrant agenda goes beyond mass deportations—he is also trying to cut constitutional rights like birthright citizenship and critical public benefits for U.S. citizen children. In the face of these devastating policies, our states must step into their power as the first line of defense in protecting our immigrant communities. Will you sign the petition to tell Democratic governors to take decisive action NOW to stop mass deportations and protect immigrants?

Key reasons for limiting cooperation include: • Undermining Public Safety: When local police act as immigration agents, it creates fear in immigrant communities, making residents less likely to report crimes, seek help, or cooperate with law enforcement. • Legal Liabilities and Constitutional Violations: ICE detainers are not judicial warrants, and holding individuals based on them can violate the 4th Amendment regarding illegal search and seizure. This exposes local jurisdictions to lawsuits. • Resource Depletion: Assisting with federal immigration tasks uses local tax dollars, personnel, and jail space, distracting from local public safety priorities. • Racial Profiling Risks: Programs like 287(g), which authorize local police to perform immigration duties, have a history of systemic racial profiling, such as incidents reported in Arizona and North Carolina. • Reduced Trust: Community trust is essential for effective policing; if immigrants fear that contacting police will result in deportation for themselves or family, they will not cooperate. (ACLU) • Local agriculture impact: In agriculture, approximately 41% of workers are undocumented, while 23% hold H-2A visas. Sign the petition today asking the Ontario County Board of Supervisors limit the use of county resources in federal immigration enforcement.

People often buy Ring cameras to help them feel safer at home—and safety is exactly what they deserve. That includes knowing that their data is protected and not used to further a surveillance machine that is increasingly more dangerous under the Trump administration.  Ring and Amazon must immediately:  • End its partnership with Flock, ensuring that footage captured by everyday Americans isn’t used in Trump’s deportation campaign  • Clearly outline how users’ privacy and data will be protected   Until there are clear answers, Ring users should opt out of allowing their data to be accessed by giant tech companies with no guardrails by disabling their Ring cameras and opting out of the new Search Party feature.  Sign the petition to demand answers from Ring and oppose Amazon’s use of our data for mass surveillance and Trump’s deportation agenda!

There is a large amount of minority people in our county and we don't want them to be in danger of being kidnaped, assaulted, or murdered. We want our community to be protected, that can't happen if ICE is welcomed into it.

The Department of Homeland Security has plans to open 23 detention centers nationwide. We recently learned that two of them would be in warehouses DHS purchased in Pennsylvania, in Berks and Schuylkill Counties. Nearly 12% of all of the 76,500 beds DHS intends to put in the 23 new facilities would be in the two separated by only 25 miles in rural Pennsylvania. The Berks facility would house 1,500 people while the Schuylkill facility would house a whopping 7,500 people. Local, state, and even federal elected officials report that they were not informed of the purchases. There were no public meetings or hearings. Had there been, DHS would have heard moral and ethical arguments against the plans. They would have heard about the lack of services and infrastructure available to serve, in the case of the Schuylkill County location, a prison population 30 times the size of the current local population. They would have heard about the loss of tax revenue of more than $1.6 million that would impact, among other things, the local school districts in both locations. They would have heard about safety concerns, particularly for the day care center that is 300 yards from the Schuylkill County location. Facilities planned in Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia are facing stiff opposition or have already been defeated, thanks to communities and their elected officials coming together to say "No." 

It’s important because ICE policies directly affect real people in Montgomery County and across Tennessee, not just politics. Here’s why it matters: • Families are being separated. Parents are detained or deported, leaving children without stability or support. • Community trust is broken. Fear of ICE discourages people from reporting crimes, seeking medical care, or sending their kids to school—making everyone less safe. • Local impact is real. Immigrants are students, workers, neighbors, and business owners who contribute to Montgomery County’s economy and culture. • Local leaders have power. City and state officials influence how much local agencies cooperate with ICE and can push for humane policies and oversight. • Human rights and dignity are at stake. Fair treatment and due process should apply to everyone, regardless of immigration status. Speaking up matters because silence allows harmful practices to continue. Petitions show leaders that the community is watching, cares, and expects action.

After two horrific killings, multiple children used as “bait” and teargassed, and indiscriminate violence, people in Minnesota and around the country are rising up to get ICE off our streets and out of our communities. As his immigration force grows deeply unpopular, Trump is withdrawing 700 immigration agents from the Twin Cities and has ordered federal agents to stay away from protests. All the while, new funding for ICE and Border Patrol remains up in the air after Congress failed to pass an annual appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The pressure has opened a two-week window to do all we can to ensure lawmakers hold the line and vote NO against DHS funding without critical reforms that protect our communities from ICE’s violence. We’re shifting the narrative on ICE and making elected officials think twice before funneling billions of dollars toward Trump’s violent deportation force. All too often, moments like these are where we see backroom deals and empty promises weaken our position. That’s why NOW is when we dig even deeper to demand Congress hold firm against any blank check approach to ICE’s lawlessness.

After ICE left a trail of violence in Minneapolis, opposition to Trump’s lawless immigration force is reaching new heights. The faces of Trump’s immigration enforcement — Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Patrol officer Gregory Bovino — are facing heat and consequences, and long-term funding for Trump’s deportation machine is on the rocks. It’s crucial progress — but we have to go further. As critical resistance to ICE’s lawlessness grows, we can’t ignore the network of powerful corporations that help make its violence possible. From tech giants like Amazon, AT&T, and Microsoft, to retailers like Home Depot, to controversial data-mining firm Palantir, their lucrative contracts and corporate collaboration allow ICE to carry out its violent, large-scale enforcement campaign across the country. Without the cloud computing, surveillance software, communications infrastructure, and logistical cooperation these corporations provide, ICE couldn’t function. That’s why we need to speak out and ensure that companies know enabling hate and militarism has a cost.

ICE is not a neutral security force. ICE and federal agents have been militarizing our cities and terrorizing our communities—murdering civilians, pointing their guns at protesters and observers, and kidnapping our neighbors off the street. ICE has consistently met any peaceful protest with more state-sanctioned violence. They’ve abducted toddlers and murdered Minnesotans Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They’re countering whistles and cameras with guns and tear gas. Even when we have video evidence of their violence, they're telling us not to believe our own eyes. The presence of Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE, at the Winter Olympics is allegedly to “mitigate risks from transnational criminal organizations.” But we already know the agency has a documented history of making false claims to justify raids, deportations, and politically motivated operations, like the recent kidnapping of Venezuela’s president. Team USA should publicly oppose ICE’s involvement at the Winter Games and ensure that U.S. participation reflects global unity and respect for all, not intimidation and fear. Demand the U.S. Olympic Team opposes ICE at the 2026 Winter Olympics!

Students around Georgia have been missing or dropping out of school due to fear of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Our parents are scared and our families are in crisis. Immigrants make 20% of all people in Dekalb County. They are active members of the community contributing every day and deserve to be protected from the attacks. We deserve to have a safe learning environment in school and feel supported by our elected leaders.  Dekalb County prides themselves on diversity and inclusion, this is the time to show immigrants are included in that diversity. We need to show up for each other and for our leaders to be courageous in the stand against ICE. 

Minnesota families are living in fear. With federal agents menacing our neighborhoods and the horrifying loss of two community members, we need action. The sports team owners who profit on Minnesota’s deep passion for athletics must speak up. Renee Good and Alex Pretti sacrificed their lives to protect our community. The owners of these teams have an obligation to keep their fans safe while representing the values of our community. Minnesotans competing in the Olympics are united with us in this struggle. Team USA curler Rich Ruohonen emphasized, “We have a constitution. What’s happening in Minnesota is unjust.” Vikings legend John Randle passionately voiced his support, stating, “I love Minnesota and stand with my entire community. #iceout.” It’s time for our Minnesota team owners to demonstrate leadership and firmly declare that ICE and federal agents will not be permitted to intimidate fans at games. Additionally, these owners should use their influence with President Trump to convey a clear message: Minnesotans want ICE permanently removed from our state!
