MFSA Action Opportunity: Stop ICE Overreach & Restore Human Dignity

The United Methodist Social Principles affirm the inherent dignity of every person, the right to seek asylum, and the fundamental humanity of migrants and refugees. They call us to support immigration policies that are humane, just, and rooted in the recognition that every person bears the image of God. Current enforcement practices violate these principles at every turn.

Immigration raids are tearing families apart without warning or due process. People are being held in detention centers that violate basic standards of health and sanitation. Asylum seekers are being deported to countries embroiled in active conflicts. Military assets and rhetoric are being deployed against civilian populations who have committed no crimes. The asylum system this country has upheld for decades is being systematically dismantled.

We see these things happening in our communities, in our congregations, and to our neighbors. It often feels like we cannot win.

But the fight isn't over yet.

Senators and Representatives have done little to stand up to the Trump administration — but they still hold legislative, financial, and governing power they can wield, if they are brave enough to do so. The time is now to make your voice heard.

Contact your senators and representative today. Urge them to rein in a rogue ICE agency that continues to harm the most vulnerable among us, and to support comprehensive immigration reform.
