Join us Thursday, June 16th, at 5 pm CT for the kick-off to our webinar series, Shattering the Arrest to Deportation Pipeline: Learn, Engage, and Take Action!

Many of us know that ICE continues to harm our Hennepin County neighbors through surveillance, detention, and deportation. But ICE doesn’t do this work alone. Our local county officials, especially the Sheriff’s Office, have historically worked hand-in-hand with ICE to criminalize and detain our neighbors who are immigrants and refugees. And many of the county official seats, such as the Sheriff and County Commissioners, are up for election this year.

How do we fight back to envision and collectively create a liberatory and safe community in Hennepin County?

This webinar and those to come are an opportunity to:

Learn
*how local law enforcement collaborates with immigration and customs enforcement (ICE),
*how this affects people and their families,
*and how this collaboration supports the larger detention-deportation machine.

Engage
*with Hennepin County neighbors who share your values of safety and dignity for all

Take action
*with the ICE Out campaign, including in the upcoming county elections for the Sheriff and County Board, and our ongoing demands for them.

Shattering The Arrest to Deportation Pipeline: Learn, Engage, and Take Action is hosted by the ICE Out Hennepin County Working Group of the Decriminalizing Communities Coalition (DCC). Our multi-racial working group includes faith leaders, community members, and organizational staff committed to a future where our neighbors and community members who are immigrants and refugees are safe from the threats of criminalization and deportation.
