We all have been watching as the Trump administration and his allies mock the law and humanity by sending ICE after people in our country in inhumane ways. They are being kidnapped off the streets, not allowed due process which is a CONSTITUTIONAL right, and being sent to what is akin to a concentration camp. ICE is being violent for the sake of being violent while accomplishing these horrific tasks that they have decided amongst themselves will "make America great".
Whether a person is undocumented OR is here legally via a visa, a temporary status, or is a citizen, NONE OF THIS IS OKAY. None of this is humane. This is NOT how we treat people and this is not okay with the people of the United States.
Some stats for you:
- Fewer than 30% of detainees have been convicted of a crime of any type.
- Only about 7% of ICE detainees have violent criminal convictions — lower than the overall U.S. felony rate (~8%), underscoring a mismatch with ICE's boasted focus on violent offenders.
- ICE detains over 59,000 people in U.S. facilities — roughly 140% of funded capacity as of June 23, 2025
- Overcrowding in detention centers has led to severe issues, including:
Use of tents or floors due to lack of beds
Restricted medical care
Limited sanitation
Cellblock overcrowding and delayed recreation
Pregnant detainees denied necessary prenatal care
Care provided to women is often provided without their
informed medical consent
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
What can we do????
Several groups in the Fox Valley area (listed below) have come together to hold a protest related to the inhumane treatment that immigrants (and sometimes citizens) are receiving. We plan to have protests at the highway overpasses in Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac.
We are calling for the end of this inhumane treatment. We are calling for local law enforcement agencies to end their 287(g) agreements with ICE. We are calling for all people, no matter their race or ethnicity, to be treated the SAME under the law.
