The recent protests in Los Angeles against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have sparked a nationwide outcry over the agency's ruthless actions. Across the United States, ICE has escalated its already aggressive tactics - dragging innocent people off the street in unmarked clothing and masks. From the shocking disruption of an elementary school ceremony to the forced disappearance of college students, and even the arrest of a legal resident and union leader, ICE's actions have revealed a dangerous overreach by an agency that has no business acting as law enforcement.
The truth is simple: ICE has no place in carrying out these kinds of actions. The agency is acting like a militia, abducting people from public spaces with impunity and causing unnecessary fear and chaos. This cannot continue.
Sign the petition to demand that Congress cut ICE funding to put an end to ICE's dangerous overreach.
Under U.S. law, being an undocumented immigrant is considered a civil violation, not a criminal one. This practice of unjustly detaining residents, immigrants, and even citizens – often based solely on perceived status by individual ICE officers – must be stopped.
These "arrests" may not even be technically valid, as there are often no charges or crimes involved. Far too many people are being detained and sent to detention centers without proper justification. The overreach of ICE agents is a dangerous threat to the rights and security of vulnerable communities, and we cannot stand by as innocent people and families are targeted.
While protesting this abuse is a First Amendment right, ICE's actions have turned public spaces into zones of fear and confusion. Local authorities and school officials are powerless against ICE's unlawful behavior, which undermines the safety of everyone in these communities – whether they are protesting or simply trying to go about their daily lives.
The truth is, ICE is NOT the police, and they should not have jurisdiction over American citizens or legal residents.
Sign the petition today to demand that Congress defund ICE and stop the agency from kidnapping more American citizens and residents!
If you or someone you know is stopped by ICE, make sure you know your rights.
