How can Americans stand by, day by day while young unaccompanied children are living in cages & tents (surrounded by strangers instead of family) by our Federal government who has no plan for re-unification with their parents. These children will never be the same. Close down these horrible kid-prisons and re-unite them NOW!!

Trump wants to put up a wall for no other reason than not wanting immigrants to get in. A american "husband" killed his wife who was pregnant with her child, and his two kids that were children. One immigrant kid naps and kills someone and suddenly immigrants are the issue.

The Trump administration just announced that they plan to end the "Flores Agreement"—the rules that make sure kids can't be jailed for more than 20 days while being held in detention. Without Flores, kids could be jailed in awful conditions for even longer. The Flores Agreement is a vital part of treating everyone in this country like a human being—it sets limits on jailtime and conditions for children. We reject this change and any attempt to modify the rules to keep children in detention longer, or in worse conditions. This change would make the "zero humanity" immigration policies even crueler, further punishing children and their families for fleeing violence. Tell the Trump administration, DHS, and HHS: No kids should be held in jail. Don’t overturn the Flores Agreement.

Bank of America is freezing and closing bank accounts of people whose citizenship they question, taking people's assets away, throwing their finances into turmoil and injecting fear into the lives of these families and communities. We, the undersigned, demand that Bank of America immediately stop their practice of harassing and harming their customers on the basis of supposed immigration status. American communities and marketplaces are the gold standard all over the world because they are supported by the police, fire, transportation, safety, economic and educational infrastructure that are paid for by ALL of us, and are open to ALL without discrimination on the basis of bias against one's race, nationality, sex, religion, disability, age and (in many states) sexual orientation or gender identity. Bank of America is hurting the individuals they targeted and also damaging the economic foundations of our very quality of life with their profoundly troubling actions reported this week. Individuals, businesses and organizations are encouraged to close their accounts with Bank of America in an economic boycott. Show Bank of America that we won't stand for policies that amount to racist attacks on their own customers. We won't patronize businesses that fuel xenophobia and anti-immigrant terror. Close your accounts. Let Bank of America know exactly why.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are continuing to commit abominable violence against immigrants and people of color. Despite this, ICE’s budget for immigration detention and enforcement has jumped by almost a billion dollars in the last two years through a combination of reckless spending and secretive transfers of money. And now they’re at it again, trying to get a special increase in funding for immigration detention in the short-term funding bill expected to be passed by the end of the month. There is no question that this money causes tremendous harm in the hands of an agency responsible for deaths and widespread sexual assault in detention, violent raids, the separation of thousands of families, and more. We can’t allow ICE to continue manipulating the budget process as they violate basic human rights. We are committed to protecting our communities from the terror of Trump’s deportation force. We call on Congress to stop the special funding increase for detention and not allow ICE and CBP to manipulate them into increasing their funding.

Houston is a welcoming city! The city should not do business with a company that is awarded millions to keep families separated.

A border wall is an ineffective and wasteful solution to illegal immigration.

Raul is a husband and father of four children who has been mercilessly detained by ICE for over a year. He was separated from his family when he was detained in March 2017, and has recently been transferred far away from his family to an ICE facility in Colorado, despite the fact that he continues to fight his case in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, located in San Francisco, California. Raul needs your help. Raul has lived in the United States for over 28 years since leaving his home country of Guatemala. On March 22nd, 2017, he was taken from his family and placed in detention at the West County Detention Facility in Contra Costa. Shortly after the termination of ICE’s contract with a local detention center, ICE transferred Raul and many others to Colorado. He was transferred without his family or lawyer receiving advance notice and despite the fact that his case is ongoing in San Francisco, California. There is no reason for Raul to be detained. His family is suffering financially and emotionally while ICE has incarcerated him for over a year. He has missed holidays, birthdays, and other milestones with his family. Because he was prevented from attending his daughter’s quinceañera, she brought the celebration as close to him as possible and danced in her quinceañera gown outside of the West County Detention Facility as a part of a vigil held there. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/girl-dances-in-quinceanera-gown-outside-detention-center-her-father-is-being-held/). Sign our petition and demand that ICE release Raul today! In addition to signing this petition please call Raul’s Deportation Officer Parker Bell and the Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer, Bret Talbot, to demand Raul’s release: Parker Bell Deportation Officer Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operations Aurora ICE Processing Center 3130 N.

Salma arrived in the US from Bangladesh in 1999 and has not left since. She’s a crew member at a McDonald’s near her home and has dutifully checked into INS/ICE for many years- always having her work permit approved and getting told she “is not a priority.” This year, ICE told her to buy a one-way plane ticket to Bangladesh and leave the US by August 23rd. Just like so many hardworking immigrants who have followed the rules for 10, 20, and sometimes 30 years, Homeland Security’s arbitrary decision to separate this kind and loving family came as a complete shock. At a routine check-in on muggy day at the end of July, Homeland Security put a large black electronic monitoring device on Salma's ankle and told her to check in two times a week for the next 4 weeks. And then fly to a country she has not seen in 18 years, leaving her loving husband and college son behind. Salma has 2 pending immigration matters, including a court hearing scheduled for July 15, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. There is no compelling reason to break up Salma's family. It's unnecessary. It’s cruel. It’s un-American. Stand with Salma and her family and stop this cruel family separation at the hands of the Department of Homeland Security. Tell ICE- STOP SEPARATING FAMILIES! Enough is enough!

For months, the Trump Administration separated immigrant parents and children at the border as part of their “zero tolerance” policy. Today, HUNDREDS of children remain apart from their families, and there have been horrendous reports of what has happened to them in detention, including children who were forced to drink toilet water and children who were sexually abused. Many of these children have parents who have already been deported. Many of these parents were lied to by border agents, and potentially coerced into signing deportation documents that they didn’t understand. The best way to make sure these reunifications happen is to bring these parents back to the U.S. They should be reunited with their children and allowed to pursue the asylum cases they came to the U.S. to seek. The Department of Homeland Security has separated these families. They need to make this right. Tell DHS chief Kirstjen Nielsen that we need to reunite immigrant families by bringing deported parents back!
