Tell Congress to Hold ICE Accountable and Prioritize Student and Community Safety
As educators, parents, and neighbors, we want our schools to be safe places of learning. We want our communities to be places of connection.
But right now, masked ICE agents are instilling fear in our students, harassing our families, and operating with impunity across our nation in states like Minnesota, Maine, and Ohio.
They are attacking students on and near school grounds and abducting neighbors from locations that are considered places of safety and care, including churches and hospitals.
ICE’s actions are traumatizing students, families, and educators and directly disrupting learning.
Only the full withdrawal of ICE on and near school grounds and in communities will make our students and families safe.
Right now, we have a meaningful opportunity to hold ICE agents and leadership accountable for their actions and stop their violent, cruel tactics. Congress is negotiating the budget for the Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE.
Write your elected officials to demand that:
This moment demands leadership. DHS funding negotiations must prioritize accountability, civil rights, and the safety of our communities.
