On a daily basis, immigrant communities in Illinois live with the fear that imminent raids and escalated activity by ICE, as stated by Trump, will rip families apart. We see more information each day regarding deplorable situations at the border – where government officials deny there is a humanitarian crisis, where children are treated as less than human, and where more children have died in immigration custody in 2019 than in the past 10 years.

In Illinois, we are taking a stand.

We see the current criminalization of immigrants, those coming to our borders seeking asylum and those seeking a better life for themselves and their families, as a continuation of the United States’ deep history of exploiting and criminalizing immigrants.

We reject the framework of hate + profit. Instead we envision a movement that builds intersectional power among our vibrant communities and a nation that recognizes the incredible social and cultural value of immigrants in our society.

Join immigrant rights, social justice, and grassroots organizations in protest against the administration’s destructive policies and actions, and take a stand to welcome immigrant communities in solidarity. Add your voice to those in the movement to end criminalization, detention and deportation of immigrant families in the United States.

————————————

Diariamente, las comunidades de inmigrantes en Illinois viven con el temor de que las inminentes redadas y la escalada de actividades por parte de ICE, según lo declarado por Trump, destrozarán a las familias. Cada día vemos más información sobre situaciones deplorables en la frontera, donde los funcionarios del gobierno niegan que haya una crisis humanitaria, donde lxs niñxs son tratadxs como menos humanos y donde más niñxs han muerto bajo custodia de inmigración en 2019 que en los últimos 10 años.

En Illinois, estamos tomando una posición.

Vemos la criminalización actual de los inmigrantes, lxs que vienen a nuestras fronteras en busca de asilo y lxs que buscan una vida mejor para ellxs y sus familias, como una continuación de la profunda historia de Estados Unidos de explotar y criminalizar a los inmigrantes. Rechazamos el marco de odio + beneficio. En cambio, preveemos un movimiento que genere poder interseccional entre nuestras comunidades vibrantes y una nación que reconozca el increíble valor social y cultural de los inmigrantes en nuestra sociedad. Únase a los derechos de los inmigrantes, la justicia social y las organizaciones de base en protesta contra las políticas y acciones destructivas de la administración, y tome una posición para dar la bienvenida a las comunidades de inmigrantes en solidaridad. Agregue su voz a aquellos en el movimiento para poner fin a la criminalización, detención y deportación de familias inmigrantes en los Estados Unidos.
