Stop ICE’s Attack on Our Communities
From the ACLU: ICE and Border Patrol are out of control and endangering our communities – even shooting and killing people like Alex Pretti and Renee Good in the streets while continuing to target anyone they think might be immigrants. For months now, communities in Minneapolis, Chicago, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and beyond have lived in fear as federal agents have arrested U.S. citizens, dragged children from their beds in the middle of the night, smashed car windows, and targeted protestors.
We can’t wait around while ICE harms more people. Urge Congress to demand an end to these reckless immigration raids and oppose any bill that would add to ICE and CBP’s already massive budget without reining in their lawless and abusive actions.

Mutual Aid through Operation Milkweed
Help Massachusetts families impacted by ICE enforcement today.
Operation Milkweed is the ultimate collection of mutual aid and direct support for Massachusetts families impacted by ICE enforcement since 2025. These fundraisers were created by the families themselves and their advocates. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, and we take no cut of any donations. Just as monarch butterflies use milkweed plants to deter predators and create safe conditions during migration, immigrant families need community support when facing ICE enforcement. Be the milkweed.
