MYTH BUSTING

Everyday people detained by ICE
Let’s be honest: does anyone really feel safer in America when ICE targets and deports members of our community like the food lady, the high school student, the day laborer, or the nanny who cares for children? Seriously. ICE and this administration have crossed the line. Their excessive and often harmful tactics have traumatized innocent people, including American children. We can’t make this ish up.

FROM THEN TO NOW
Hate thrives on racism and dehumanization.
People fear what they don’t understand, and throughout history, those in power exploit this fear and spread lies about a particular group of people to justify violence against individuals who may look different from you and me, speak a different language or English with an accent, or come from a different background.
We’ve seen this throughout American history:
1800’s
In the 1870s and 1880s, anti-Chinese campaigns resulted in laws that excluded Chinese Americans from the United States.
1930’s
During the 1930s, military-style tactics were used to indiscriminately arrest and deport Mexican immigrants—many of whom were American citizens— from the country.
1940’s
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government unjustly stripped Japanese Americans of their rights and property, incarcerating over 120,000 individuals in internment camps against their will.
It’s
happening
again.
Today, we are being told that immigrants are “domestic terrorists” and the “enemy within” to justify the illegal deployment of federal troops into American cities and allow ICE agents to carry out violent arrests operations against children, high schoolers, mothers and fathers and our neighbors.

Take action with us
The reality is that it costs us, the taxpayers, money to detain and deport individuals, most of whom pose no threat to our communities. But there’s a better way. Instead, our tax payer money could be used to lower food prices, improve access to affordable healthcare, build schools and so much more.
It’s up to each of us to use our voices to stop the abuse of power, put people over profit, and fight for an America where all residents can thrive—no matter where we were born or the color of our skin.
