Target: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Congress, and the President of the United States
Goal: We call on the Department of Homeland Security and federal policymakers to halt punitive immigration enforcement, ensure data transparency, and restore protections for vulnerable migrants.
The recent announcement by Secretary Kristi Noem, citing a 1.6 million decrease in the undocumented population, is based on flawed and incomplete data from the Center for Immigration Studies. This figure has been widely questioned by researchers and experts, who point to unreliable survey methods, undercounting due to fear, and a lack of direct evidence. Despite these doubts, the administration continues to justify harsh enforcement measures, including mass deportations, the termination of humanitarian protections, and incentives for voluntary departures that exploit vulnerable people.
These actions have real human consequences: families are torn apart, communities live in fear, and millions are denied basic rights and services. The government must not use unverified statistics to justify policies that harm immigrants and undermine trust in our institutions. We demand transparency in immigration data, an end to punitive enforcement, and the restoration of programs that protect those fleeing danger and seeking a better life.
