Jack,



Although we’re not surprised, we’re appalled that President Trump has used his
first days and weeks in office to wreak havoc on immigrant communities.



First, President Trump released an executive order suspending refugee
admissions in the United States. Then, the administration issued stop-work to
all of the national resettlement agencies, including HIAS. This effectively
halted the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.



It’s a sweeping example of executive overreach that’s had an immediate and
devastating impact on refugees, communities, and the organizations that work
with them.So we’re taking the administration to court.



It’s both breathtakingly cruel and brazenly illegal — but we won’t sit quietly
while the President overrides crucial programs and destroys lives. Will you
stand with us?

It may be the start of the new Trump administration — but HIAS has been
ramping up our work to protect the rights and dignity of people seeking safety
in the U.S. for years. We are prepared to respond to the unjust, dehumanizing
refugee, immigration, and asylum policies that this new administration puts
forward. We are telling President Trump:We stand with refugees, asylum seekers,
and immigrants.



Jack, in this dark time, we know that one of our most powerful tools is the
collective voice of our community.So we’re asking you now to tell President
Trump: We wholly reject your administration’s cruel policies toward refugees,
asylum seekers, and immigrants. We remain in solidarity with people seeking
safety, and we will fight against any policy you put forward that puts their
lives in danger.

We must use our power — our voice — to combat the politics of fear and
demonization.



HIAS has been helping refugees for more than 100 years, and we advocate the
U.S. government regardless of which political party is in office. In
partnership with the Jewish community and other faith communities, we do all we
can to fulfill the Torah's commandment, and the American tradition, of
welcoming the stranger.



We have always stood for welcome — but we cannot stand alone. The threats to
immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees will only increase from today forward,
and we will need your help, at every step.Take action now to tell President
Trump that you support asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees »
