For too long, children and adults have been subjected to less than human treatment in ICE detention centers. These facilities have become synonymous with neglect, abuse, and the deprivation of basic human rights, to say the least. As we stand at a pivotal moment with a new Congress, it is imperative that abolishing ICE and freeing children and legal adults becomes the first action of many necessary reforms!

Reports from human rights organizations and investigative journalism have revealed the deeply concerning circumstances within these detention centers. Families torn apart, children separated from their parents, living in conditions lacking adequate medical care, sanitation, nutrition, blocked access to legal aid, and frankly, torture. Over 16,000 human beings are currently missing, lost within a system that dehumanizes them. These are not just numbers; these are mothers, fathers, and *children* who have dreams, fears, and loved ones waiting for them.

With Democrats gaining control of both the House and the Senate, there is a unique opportunity to create substantial legislative change. The stories of pain and suffering from within these detention centers are heartbreaking at best and demand immediate action. Our call to Congress is about restoring humanity and justice at the forefront of our nation’s immigration policies.

Join us in urging Congress to abolish ICE and release all detainees. If law enforcement are doing their jobs, adults are being held accountable. Let us demand that our leaders prioritize human and civil rights for everyone residing in this country! Sign and share this petition to bring about meaningful change that brings humanity back and rejects concentration camps in the United States.
