Dear John,
Juana* escaped Honduras with her daughters Paula and Norma. They fled to the U.S. as a family to seek asylum.
But ICE sent Paula to Mexico and forced Juana and Norma into a detention center in Dilley, Texas. No one has heard from Paula since. Juana’s anguish is something no parent should ever have to experience.
John, seeking safety is NOT a crime. We must do everything we can to shine a light on their plight and demand their immediate release. Please step up to DEFEND FREEDOM by making your first-time donation to Amnesty by chipping in whatever you can — even $10 makes a difference.
Juana and Norma are just one of the nearly ninety families seeking safety in the U.S. from violence and persecution who have been locked up by ICE. Four-year-old Norma has grown despondent, depressed, and constantly asks when she and her mom can leave the facility. Her mother doesn’t know how to answer her anymore.
Now and in the crucial weeks ahead, we are aggressively ratcheting up our efforts to shine a light on family immigration detention. Your donation will help us apply pressure on the Trump administration, Congress, and ICE — as well as launch billboards and trucks (pictured above) in cities and towns across the country.
To stay independent, Amnesty International does not take a position on elections, nor on which candidate should be president. But we do have a mission to safeguard human rights. And that mission has never been more challenging — or more important. Can we count on you to DEFEND FREEDOM with us?
Amnesty International has been defending freedom from dictators and bullies for nearly 60 years — all backed by support from people like you. Please, speak out again and help us shine a light on these grave human rights abuses.
