BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration over its threats to deploy ICE and other armed federal agents at or around polling places, contrary to federal law. It's voter intimidation, plain and simple.

We’ve identified key actions state legislators can take to make schools safer for all students. All you have to do is send the message. 📣Take action: act.nilc.org/page/102446/...

How states can ensure every student can attend school safely:

1. Protect access to public K-12 education for all students by prohibiting discriminatory practices that would impede access based on immigration status.

2. Protect student privacy and data by prohibiting schools from unnecessarily collecting, using, or disclosing sensitive information.

3. Create “safe schools” policies by requiring schools to establish clear protocols for responding to immigration or law enforcement activity on school grounds.TAKE ACTION:

📣Tell Congress to take back ICE's slush fund: act.nilc.org/page/100389/...

Every budget is a choice: we fund what we care about.

By taking back ICE’s budget, we could:

REVERSE MEDICAID CUTS.
KEEP HOSPITALS OPEN.
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SCHOOLS.
WIPE OUT MEDICAL DEBT.
FEED HUNGRY FAMILIES.Tell Congress: Claw Back ICE Funds

Life under the "One Big Beautiful Bill":

Eleven people shot and killed by immigration agents in the last year and a half.At least 46 people died in ICE custody in the year since ICE’s massive budget was signed into law.Nearly 450 hospitals on the brink of closure because of Medicaid cuts. More than 4 million people kicked off SNAP, losing access to food they need
to survive.

National Immigration Law Center @nilc.org · 11/08/2026

Would you rather live in a country where people have health care and food or ICE has unlimited funds to separate families and inflict violence? ICE's budget was only made possible by raiding programs that keep families fed, hospitals open, and communities safe.

TO ADVANCE AN “AFFORDABILITY AGENDA,” WE MUST TAKE ON ICE’S SLUSH FUND

Since Trump’s second administration began, Republicans in Congress have prioritized bankrolling his mass deportation agenda above all else.

With the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” they chose to drain programs that keep families fed, hospitals open, and communities safe.

We are a little over a year into the cuts for the people and unprecedented funding for ICE,
and the results are already dire.

The image is an infographic from the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) titled "States are Protecting Students." It lists states that have laws to protect access to education and limit access to campuses by immigration enforcement. The states mentioned are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Virginia. A section labeled "State Spotlight" highlights Oregon's law requiring all K-12 and higher education institutions to have a plan for alerting people if immigration enforcement shows up on campus.

There is an active discharge petition that could force a House vote on the Dream and Promise Act.

DACA recipients have been experiencing months-long delays in their application renewals, with many being forced to leave behind their careers. There has also been a serious uptick in arrests and deportations of DACA recipients, underscoring the precarious nature of temporary protections. What can be done? Right now, there is an active discharge petition that could force a House vote on the Dream and Promise Act. Discharge petitions provide
a way to bypass leadership and bring stalled legislation directly to a vote – and it only takes 218 House Representatives signing on
to make it happen.

National Immigration Law Center @nilc.org · 30/07/2026

As DACA recipients & TPS holders face urgent threats from Trump's mass deportation machine, Congress must act. A House discharge petition could force a vote on the Dream and Promise Act, a bill that would put millions of people on a pathway to citizenship. We only need 8 more signatures.🧵⬇️
