Sign to Stop ICE Deportations
to Guantánamo Bay Prison
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib / Progress America
(July 5, 2025) — Trump and other Republicans are trying to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to expand mass incarceration, including proposing to deport and imprison thousands of immigrants in notorious overseas torture prisons.
Recently ICE has been racially profiling US residents and targeting people with tattoos, kidnapping them and sending some to Guantánamo Bay, a facility infamous for human rights abuses.1
Just last month the corrupt far-right members of the Supreme Court ruled to permit deportations of asylum-seekers and undocumented immigrants who’ve committed no crimes — not to their home countries but to random third countries where they lack community and legal status. They ruled that presidents can deport people, without meaningful review, to wherever a president designates a “safe country.”
I’m fighting back against these horrific governmental attacks on immigrants and on our constitutional rights. I just led 15 of my colleagues in Congress in calling on the Trump administration to immediately end the use of Guantánamo Bay for migrant detention — and to permanently close the detention facilities there.
ACTION: SIGN ON
Fifty-five organizations endorsed our letter, which also demanded the administration “ensure that all detained individuals are treated with dignity, due process, and the protections guaranteed under both US and international law.” (A full copy of the letter can be found here.)
We must defend the rights of immigrants of all statuses and US citizens, who are also swept up in ICE’s raids and sometimes illegally deported.2 During Trump’s last term, ICE unconstitutionally deported at least 70 US citizens, and that number is sure to rise in this term—unless we do something about it.3
I’ve worked as an immigration attorney, I’m a daughter of immigrants, and I’ve been to inhumane immigration detention facilities, so I’ve seen our broken and dehumanizing immigration system up close. I’ve held the Department of Homeland Security accountable for its violations of our shared rights, and I’ve introduced policies to protect immigrants’ rights and free people from ICE facilities.
It is my duty as a Congresswoman, and an American, to raise hell until immigrants seeking safety and a better life are treated with dignity and respect, and have real paths to citizenship.
We have urgent work to do, and it includes fighting back against the fascist attacks on immigrants, including demanding the end of mass immigrant detention and deportations.
THE LETTER
Sign to demand the closure of Guantánamo Bay and the end of immigrant detention at its notorious torture facilities
Trump’s ICE agents have been kidnapping people and deporting them to places with rampant human rights abuses — including the notorious torture facilities at Guantánamo Bay.
That includes Castillo Rivera, a 23-year-old who came here through the CBP One appointment system, a way for asylum-seekers to enter the US. He was targeted at the processing center simply for having a tattoo, and deported the next day to Guantánamo Bay. This is unacceptable!
Now Trump wants to deport and lock up thousands more of our immigrant neighbors at Guantánamo Bay, which is infamous for human rights abuses.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib led 15 of her colleagues in the House of Representatives with a letter to the Trump administration expressing their outrage at the recent expansion of immigrant detention at Guantánamo Bay.
Will you sign today as a grassroots co-signer of the congressional letter demanding Trump immediately halt immigrant detention at Guantánamo Bay, and permanently close the detention facilities there?
Thank you for taking action. Together we’re demanding a government that invests in people’s needs rather than spending hundreds of billions of dollars on mass arrests, detentions, and deportations.
With you in the fight against fascism,
Rashida
