The 30-day order given by the federal judge in California for the Trump administration to reunite parents and children separated under its "zero-tolerance" policy culminates on Thursday, July 26. We need to maintain and increase pressure on those in power. Join activists from around Vermont as we stand together against family separation and protest outside the ICE offices in Williston.
1. We DEMAND an end to laws and policies criminalizing migration and those seeking asylum
2. We DEMAND immediate reunification of all children with their families (including those who have been deported)
3. We DEMAND humane best practices that do no harm and that families be offered counseling and any other voluntary services they require to deal with the trauma inflicted on them by our government.
4. We DEMAND members of this administration, agencies and contractors be held accountable for breaking international treaties and our own laws that have led to this humanitarian disaster.
5. We DEMAND the U.S. government abolish ICE.
