Immigrant Solidarity – End 287(g)!

August 31st, 2009 posted by Jordan

Over 500 social justice advocacy groups have signed on to a letter demanding that President Obama take important action on immigrant justice, and now its your turn to get involved!

This letter makes the much overdue call for an end to the 287(g) program that allows local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. The program has resulted in racial profiling of Latino communities, mass incarceration and deplorable human rights violations in places like Maricopa County, AZ, where inmates have been poisoned and publicly humiliated by racist Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Now is THE time to get on board and let the President know that you support this coalition and the END OF THE 287(g) PROGRAM! Click here to send an email to your Congress people and the President through the Detention Watch Network!
