No Federal Budget Increase for Deportations and Detentions Centers

Trump’s budget adds $1.5 billion for more detention centers and to increase ICE and border patrols. Homeland Security wants to increase the 30,000 people held for immigration issues to at least 80,000 per day, aided by private prisons. Instead of aiding asylum seekers, we’ve created Manzanar-style internment camps and are destroying our immigrant communities.

Call all three Members of Congress

Script:  I’m calling to express my opposition to any budget that funds increased deportation enforcement or the expansion of the detention system.
