Target: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Congress
Goal: We call for an immediate investigation into ICE's recruitment campaigns, a halt to dehumanizing messaging, and comprehensive reform to ensure transparency, accountability, and respect for all communities.
In light of recent media coverage and public satire exposing ICE's recruitment campaigns, it is clear that the agency's messaging has crossed lines of decency and respect. Jokes about 'taking America back from the people we stole it from' and comparisons to violent science fiction scenarios are not only offensive but also reveal a disturbing culture within the agency.
Such rhetoric undermines public trust, promotes xenophobia, and disregards the dignity of immigrants and marginalized communities. ICE's recruitment materials should reflect the values of justice, fairness, and human rights—not perpetuate harmful stereotypes or trivialize the agency's serious responsibilities.
We urge the Department of Homeland Security and Congress to take immediate action to investigate these practices, hold those responsible accountable, and implement reforms to prevent further harm. Our immigration system must be humane, just, and transparent.
