Allow Counties To Opt Out of ICE's S-Comm Program (i.e. Secure Communities)

Allow Counties To Opt Out of ICE's S-Comm Program (i.e. Secure Communities)

The Issue

Across the country, counties are recognizing the damage to communities and public safety caused by police/ICE collaboration programs, such as "Secure Communities" or S-Comm. We've seen racial profiling and the diversion of scarce local resources when counties are coerced into conducting federal civil immigration enforcement. We've heard from families too afraid to approach police. And we've decided to end it. Counties, including Arlington, VA; Santa Clara County, CA; and San Francisco, CA have all voted to "opt-out" of ICE's dangerous S-Comm program.

Unfortunately, Secretary Janet Napolitano has gone back on her word and is trying try stop counties from opting out of S-Comm.

Join us today in signing your individual letter to Secretary Napolitano to demand that she respect the right of counties to opt out of S-Comm now!
