#EyesOnICE
#EyesOnICE is a protest group focused on holding ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) accountable for its illegal and inhumane actions in our communities. We are dedicated to organizing peaceful and impactful protests at ICE detention centers and field offices across the country. Our mission is to raise awareness of the illegal and unjust practices of ICE, stand in solidarity with affected communities, and struggle for a humane immigration policy. ICE is making our communities less safe and we want them OUT!
Features
Why are we organizing protests?
ICE is targeting our immigrant communities with violence and aggression that creates a climate of fear that no human being should ever have to experience. They've been given a mandate to fulfill increased quotas from the Trump Administration with goals of deporting tens of millions of human beings from USA soil. This leads to ICE crackdowns that spread terror through our communities, destabilizing the lives of families and children who now live in a constant state of fear that ICE will break their windows and drag their loved ones away to a far-away detention center.
ICE must be stopped.

Millions and millions of immigrant families are scapegoated as the source of all of our problems in this country. But immigrants are not and have never been the problem! The insatiable greed of the billionaire class and the tremendous wealth inequality they have created is the source of our problems as a nation. Immigrants are working for wages just like the like the rest of us. We have more in common with one another as the people who must work to live than we have in common with the billionaire class! And so it is time for all members of our working class to stand in solidarity with our fellow immigrant brothers and sisters, and demand an end to this ICE terror campaign.
It is time for amnesty to be granted and a pathway to citizenship to be opened up for our immigrant brothers and sisters.

Who and what do we stand for?

We stand in solidarity with all working people and students, regardless of nationality, religious affiliation, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

We stand in solidarity with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the 261 primarily Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT prison in El Salvador without ever receiving due process and standing before a judge. We stand with the countless others who have been stripped of their constitutional right to due process by DHS and ICE.
We stand in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, Mohsen Mahdawi and all the students and teachers who've been stripped of their right to dissent, protest, speech and due process.

We stand in solidarity with Lelo Juarez in Washington state and the 14 farmworkers seized in Batavia, New York, all of whom were working within their communities to organize unions to protect against the exploitation of working people.
What do we want?
We demand accountability for the extra-judicial operations of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security. We demand that all men are released from their wrongful incarceration in CECOT. We demand the return of all those who have been wrongfully deported to El Salvador and Sudan without due process.
We demand the release of all those being held in detention who have been unjustly taken from our communities. Nich Chourng, a father, husband and refugee from the American War in Laos, who is being held in the Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island. Daniel Orellana, a 25 year-old Guatemalan man kidnapped on his way to work in Framingham, MA. Elsy Berrios, a Maryland mother who was brutally kidnapped by ICE agents after they broke the window of her car. Mahmoud Khalil, who has never been able to hold his child. And the many others being held in ICE prisons who belong home with their families.

We want amnesty and pathways to citizenship for the undocumented population of this country who deserve to come out of the shadows and be free of workplace exploitation and the threat of violence and deportation from ICE. If Ronald Reagan could grant amnesty and pathways to citizenship to over 3 million undocumented immigrants, then surely this Republican administration can do the same.
We want to live free from a surveillance and militarized police state that is weaponized against regular working people. That means an end to technologies, like facial recognition tech (FRT), being used as a weapon of mass surveillance. It also means an end to the militarization of our police forces. The only reason police need to be militarized is if they plan to go to war against the people of this country.
We want to live in a society that prioritizes the health of families and communities. That means investing in our human potential through education, and NOT profiting from mass incarceration of human beings. We demand an end to the private prison system that profits from locking Brown, Black, and poor people up.
We want a humane immigration system that values the rights of all people- regardless of religion, skin color, or language- to seek refuge and asylum. We demand an end to our immigration system being used as a tool to advance a White ultra-nationalist agenda.
