Stop Deporting Tulsans - End 287(g)

Tulsa County Commissioners & Sheriff Vic Regalado

Every day, our undocumented friends and neighbors are detained & deported for minor traffic violations due to a contract between the Tulsa County Jail and ICE: the 287(g) contract.

Tulsans should not live in fear of deportation for taking their children to school or visiting the grocery store. That's why we're asking our Tulsa County Commissioners and Sheriff Vic Regalado to end 287(g)!

In June, Tulsa County Commissioners will have a chance to vote to end 287(g) here in Tulsa, but we need your help to make sure it happens.

We can choose to stay quiet and let ICE along with our own Sheriff Vic Regalado keep tearing our communities apart, or we can take a stand and let county officials know about the destruction 287(g) is causing in our community.

In taking a stand with Dream Alliance Oklahoma, you are choosing to stand against deportation and choosing to fight for our undocumented community members who are being targeted, deported and whose families are left here to fend for themselves.

The 287(g) program is destroying our families and hurting public safety in Tulsa County. Please end the 287(g) contract in Tulsa County!

I support ending the 287(g) contract because...
• when local law enforcement is seen as an extension of the immigration system, making the immigrant community mistrustful of law enforcement, thereby hindering crime reporting, crime prevention, and crime solving
• it widens the door to biased policing and incentivises racial profiling
• communities pay the price for the consequences of immigration enforcement. Enormous pressure is placed on Family Services, Child Welfare programs (like foster care) and Safety Net programs
• community tax dollars are wasted because we shift resources away from local priorities towards immigration enforcement
• it exposes our county to legal liability
• it separates families and has detrimental long-term effects on children
