ICE-ERO HAS TO GO
ICE-ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) program is not welcome in our Sanctuary Cities!
We must stand up in favor of those vulnerable families and their kids who are now paying the consequences of the inhuman immigration system in US. Within the immigrant community there is constant fear of being hunted down by ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations), a division of the better known agency ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement).
ERO often breaks the law and lies in order to abduct undocumented people living peaceful lives. In Oregon, The ERO violates constitutional and human rights by ignoring the laws that govern us as a state. They illegally enter private property and residences without any authorization as they did with Carlos Volaños in October 8th 2017. ERO now can't enters courthouses and detains community members thanks to all the organizations, Lawyers and community, this is what we able to do when we work together, now the ERO won be able to enter courthouses and detain our people without giving them the right to testify in court. But we still have a lot to do, Many undocumented women don't report domestic violence or any other problem to the authorities because they are afraid of ERO. These women many times they have children’s who will be forever scared by the trauma of continued domestic violence in their homes.
It’s time to stop the ERO from harming our communities. We need to hold them accountable and make sure our people are safe. a US Citizen children’s are being putting in adoption and their parents in federal prison. where parents lose custody of their children’s and most of the time they never get their kids back. The ERO Program are bringing insecure, Promoting a hateful agenda and incarcerating our people for profit.
