SojoAction Alert - We can’t go back. Tell the Biden Administration Family Detention is Immoral!

SojoAction Alert

Recent reports revealed the Biden administration is considering reinitiating family detention as a strategy to deter migrants from seeking refuge. We have been through this before and we know family detention is inhumane and ineffective and it causes harmful and toxic stress on children, regardless of the duration of stay. The impacts of detention can last a lifetime.  

The conditions in detention facilities are abusive, meager, and beyond inappropriate for the healthy development of children and adults.  Migrants seeking refuge deserve protection and opportunities. Instead, the administration is considering meeting them with cruelty.  

President Biden ran on the promise to deliver humane immigration policies. This is far from it! 

Join us in telling the White House family detention is not the way!  

Contact President Biden Now

Tell the White House migrant families deserve to be together and free! 

Together with you,  

Sandy
