“Es como el corazon ya no esta en el cuerpo.”

“It’s like the heart is no longer in your body.”

                                    –An immigrant mother separated from her child. 

This Administration is holding refugee children hostage to stop immigration. The treatment amounts in some cases to torture.

While a federal judge has ordered reunifications, DHS is resisting his orders:

• Nearly 3,000 children 5 and older must be reunited by July 26.
• The judge blasted DHS for slow-walking reunifications.
• DHS separated at least one father and toddler daughter six days after the court order, and as of July 13 had not reunited them. 

While Republican leadership is allowing a few new protections to pass, a House committee also voted to repeal a court order protecting them from indefinite detention.

Today, call our MoCs, talk to our friends in red states, and keep up the pressure on this Congress.

Between now and election day, work for Congress that shares our values and will protect refugee families.

• Donate to progressive candidates.
• Phone bank, canvass, and write postcards for progressive candidates.
• Here at home, defeat state ballot initiative IP22 to repeal Oregon’s sanctuary law.

Stand up for fair immigration.
