It is cruel, inhumane, completely unnecessary, and flies in the face of family unity and child protection which should be at the heart of our immigration system.

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for trying to end birthright citizenship – a foundational principle of US democracy guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
If you’re born here, you are a citizen – period. No politician can decide who is American and who is not.

As Congress continues to debate the Laken Riley Act, which Senator Britt inaccurately says makes relatively modest changes to law, ICE itself is telling Congress that the bill would cost over $25 billion and would be "impossible to execute."

A new memo from ICE circulating on the Hill emphasizes the Laken Riley Act is “impossible to execute with existing resources.” New #’s put the need for beds at over 100k & costs over $26 billion. They say prior estimates were outdated & didn’t count for all crimes in the bill

NEW—Senator Britt has been sharing a document defending the Laken Riley Act with other senators raising concerns. The problem is, the document makes a number of significant errors. We obtained a copy and marked it up, explaining where her office got the facts and law wrong. 1/5

Sen. Kim's statement on Senate's vote to advance Laken Riley Act.

ACT stands firmly against the Laken Riley Act (S.5). This bill endangers immigrant families, threatens TPS holders, and undermines due process. It’s a pathway to mass detention and deportation—not safety. We call on all Senators to reject this harmful legislation.

"Indefinitely detaining a mother who shoplifts formula to feed her baby or a woman whose abuser accuses her of stealing from him isn’t a public safety measure, it’s inhumane and likely unconstitutional.”
