Stop Immigration Raids During the U.S. Census


Stop Immigration Raids During the U.S. Census
The Issue
Despite pressure from immigrant rights advocates throughout the nation, the Department of Homeland Security has taken no action to stop immigration raids in the name of the U.S. Census. The census' goal is to count all people living in the United States, including undocumented immigrants, but these raids are terrorizing immigrant communities and contributing to a distrust of the census process. U.S. immigrant populations are historically under-counted which does a grave disservice to immigrant individuals, communities and service providers.
Sign this letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to immediately suspend immigration raids during the census season so that all people living in the United States feel safe enough to be counted.
