President Trump's mass deportation drive is unleashing federal immigration agents into our communities and allowing them to make costly and dangerous mistakes. Tell Congress to say no to any further no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol.
Neon green graphic reading: "I saw officers block someone in, put them in a car, drive away and, once we got to a more secure location look at the person and say, 'Oh, shoot, that's not our target.' The quote is attributed to a Senior ICE officer. There is a black ACLU logo at the bottom.
