Tomorrow (Thursday, May 17), the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will consider H.R. 2431, H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407. Together, these bills would criminalize congregations and charities, force local police to serve as federal immigration enforcement officers, militarize a mass deportation force, expand mandatory and indefinite detention for children and families, and weaken protections for refugees, asylees, and other vulnerable populations.
These bills are cruel, costly, and morally reprehensible, and would encourage racial profiling, undermine public safety, and instill fear in our communities. We should be working instead toward real solutions that improve our broken immigration system so that it can be humane and expand access to protection in the United States. Now is the time to make your voice heard, and tell Members of the Judiciary Committee to oppose H.R. 2431, H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407!
CALL TODAY: Tell House Judiciary Committee Members to Vote NO on
H.R. 2431, H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407!
The direct phone lines of committee members are listed below.
Here’s an example of what to say: “I’m (name) from (city, county, community, or congregation) and I’m calling to urge the Representative to vote NO on H.R. 2431, H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407, which are being considered by the House Judiciary Committee. These bills weaken community safety, expand mandatory and indefinite detention for children and families, militarize a mass deportation force, wrongfully deny protection to refugees and asylum seekers, and criminalize congregations and charities. I expect the Representative to reflect the best of our nation and vote NO on H.R. 2431, H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407.”
