ACTION ALERT: Sign the Petition
Against Trump’s Escalating Attacks
MoveOn.com
This is not a drill. Trump is weaponizing ICE and Homeland Security to arrest and disappear people, including students, fathers, academics, among other everyday people, in yet another power grab demonstrating his complete disregard for our rights and freedoms.
Marco Rubio’s State Department recently revoked the visa of Óscar Arias Sánchez, the former leader of Costa Rica and a Nobel laureate, for no reason other than being a vocal critic of Trump and his administration.1
Andry José Hernández Romero, a makeup artist from Venezuela, was deported to a prison in El Salvador after being accused of being a gang member because of his tattoos. He was deported before his lawyers could present evidence against the administration’s accusations.2
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was accidentally deported due to “administrative error,” remains stuck in legal limbo in an El Salvador prison, forcibly separated by thousands of miles from his wife and 5-year-old child, who is autistic and intellectually disabled.3
Trump is disappearing people with complete disregard for due process and the rule of law under the false guise of public safety. Will you sign the petition to fight back against Trump’s politically motivated deportations?
Student activists are also having their rights and legal protections being stripped. Mahmoud Khalil, Yunseo Chung, and Momodou Taal are just some of the many students who have had their legal status ripped away for speaking out for Palestinian rights on campus. Just last week, Rumeysa Ozturk was seized by masked ICE agents after class and is now being held without charges in a Louisiana detention center, despite a federal court order to keep her in Massachusetts.4,5,6
Trump is using every tool possible to punish dissent, target our vulnerable communities, and dismantle the public agencies meant to protect us.People with lawful status who have done nothing wrong—nothing but exercise their right to dissent—are being taken away by masked, plainclothes agents, locked away without charges, and faced with deportation.
We refuse to be bullied into silence. Add your name to the petition to fight back against Trump’s attempts to punish and intimidate us.
Trump is using every tool possible to punish dissent, target our vulnerable communities, and dismantle the public agencies meant to protect us.People with lawful status are being taken away by masked, plainclothes agents, locked away without charges and due process, and faced with deportation. This is happening right now in America.
This won’t stop with immigrants, and this isn’t just about our right to dissent. This is about whether we allow one man to turn the power of the government against the people it’s supposed to serve.
Thomas D. Homan, was Trump’s pick to lead ICE
These crackdowns are Trump’s fearful response to losing control. We can’t let fear and repression win.
Thanks for all you do.
