In a disturbing shift, immigration authorities are pressuring landlords to hand over information about their tenants—putting entire communities at risk.

According to NBC News, both ICE and DHS have issued subpoenas to landlords and property managers demanding private tenant records as part of immigration enforcement. These are not cases involving criminal activity—just people trying to live their lives, raise families, and pay rent.

This isn’t just a legal overreach. It’s a dangerous tactic that:

Breaks trust between tenants and landlords
Turns housing into a surveillance tool
Deters immigrants from reporting unsafe or abusive living conditions
Fuels fear in neighborhoods already under pressure.

Landlords shouldn’t have to choose between complying with ICE and protecting the people they rent to. And no tenant should live in fear that a maintenance request or lease renewal could lead to deportation.

We’re calling on the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to immediately stop demanding tenant information from landlords as part of civil immigration enforcement.
 

Our homes should be places of safety, not surveillance. Sign to demand DHS and ICE end this harmful practice now.
