Global Refuge

ACTION ALERT: Protect children seeking safety! 🚨 Congress is moving forward with a reconciliation bill that would pour an additional $70 billion into detention, family separation, and enforcement—on top of the $170 billion already provided last year. The bill and its amendments risk treating unaccompanied children as cases in an enforcement system rather than vulnerable young people fleeing violence, trafficking, and abuse. Children are children first. They deserve individualized care, compassion, and safety. Raise your voice TODAY to stop harmful policies before they advance! Tell your Members of Congress: Protect children. Vote NO on reconciliation and any amendments that would undermine child protection.

TAKE ACTION: Urge your Members of Congress to protect the rights and dignity of immigrants and refugees in all upcoming DHS funding negotiations! 🚨 After a 76-day shutdown, Congress passed a bipartisan bill to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security, and the President signed it into law. But funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol is still unresolved—Congress will take it up when they return on May 11 as part of the upcoming reconciliation bill and in ongoing FY27 appropriations negotiations. Immigration enforcement received more than $170 billion last year, leading to expanded detention, poor conditions in privately run facilities, and harmful enforcement actions. Communities across the country have also raised concerns around the treatment of people in detention, enforcement in sensitive locations like churches and schools, and the recent policy requiring the arrest and detention of lawfully admitted refugees for re-interviews. As Congress negotiates the next DHS package(s), join us in urging lawmakers to prioritize compassion, dignity, due process, and community safety!
