    Stop Trump’s secret police and his authoritarian mass deportations

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to end mass deportations and the authoritarian tactics of ICE’s masked agents.

    As Trump’s ICE floods communities in America to destroy families and deport innocent people, many ICE agents wear masks and shield their identities.

    The White House’s mass deportation policies are devastating. Stephen Miller has set unattainable quotas for the number of people ICE detains in a given day.1 Two people died in ICE detention in recent weeks. 2 The fact that agents of the state are hiding their identities and ignoring constitutional rights like arrest warrants and due process to carry out mass deportations is even more shocking and dangerous. This is what happens under authoritarianism, not in a democracy.

    Sign the petition: Congress must end Trump’s authoritarian mass deportations and the deployment of masked ICE agents.

    When asked about the growing number of deaths in ICE custody under his reign, Trump deportation czar Tom Homan brushed off the public’s concerns. “I mean, people die in ICE custody, people die in county jail, people die in state prisons,” he said.3

    Under Trump and Homan, the U.S. is on track for one of the deadliest years in immigration detention on record.4 ICE will not stop showing up, masked, to communities and dragging people away, leading to deadly consequences. ICE agents unwilling to show their faces has even been called a “calling card” of Trump’s immigration crackdown.5

    Congress must take a stand and rein in Trump’s out-of-control ICE.
