Addressing ICE Activities in Our Communities

Addressing ICE Activities in Our Communities

Type: 
News

As ICE ramps up action in communities across the county, the League stands firmly in solidarity with impacted communities.

Due Process 

  • As a nonpartisan, pro-democracy organization, the League is deeply alarmed by the ongoing ICE detentions, which too often fly in the face of due process and other fundamental rights.
  • These actions undermine the democratic values of fairness, equal treatment under the law, and government transparency and accountability.
  • The League supports due process for all persons, including the right to a fair hearing, right to counsel, right of appeal, and right to humane treatment. 

Value of Immigrants 

  • Immigrants are part of the fabric of our communities — they make our country strong.
  • Immigrants are your neighbors, co-workers, and fellow community members.
  • All immigrants in our country deserve due process and fair treatment.
  • The League does not support deporting undocumented immigrants who have no history of major and/or violent criminal activity.
