President Donald Trump campaigned on building a wall on our southern border with Mexico. Walling off our neighbors and the nation’s third largest trading partner was never about rational national security policy.
It’s about fueling racial and ethnic bias against border communities and immigrants in support of Trump’s vision of expanding mass incarceration in ICE detention facilities and unleashing a “deportation force” of Border Patrol and ICE agents who feel emboldened to racially profile New Mexicans and tear families apart. We need your help to persuade our New Mexico Congressional delegation – especially Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich – to become outspoken champions for expanding oversight and accountability for immigration agents.
