Action #1 – Write a comment to prevent the indefinite incarceration of immigrant families. Deadline: Nov. 6th
“These places can destroy people.”
We have 57 days left to flood this government rules site with comments protesting the revocation of the Flores Agreement’s 20-day maximum limit for incarcerating children.

Detaining families indefinitely is not the answer for protecting our borders.
