Dear John,

When President Trump took office, ICE held approximately 40,000 people in immigration detention. By the middle of December, that number had risen to over 68,000—the highest level in history. Yet this is just the start for the Trump administration.

A new American Immigration Council report on Trump’s first year of mass detention breaks down not only the changes in who is being sent to detention, but also the ways in which the rapid expansion of detention, elimination of oversight, and changes in detention policy have led to worsening conditions and people giving up their immigration cases.

Join us for a conversation to learn more about the report. You'll also hear from Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) about his work to conduct oversight of ICE detention, and Marcelo Gomes, a Boston teen who was detained by ICE for months and came out of his experience with a passion to educate the world about what he went through. 

Register today—spaces are limited. We hope you can join us for this important discussion. 

Sincerely,

Nayna Gupta
Policy Director, American Immigration Council
