How can you support our fight?

Donate 
to IC4IJ

In the midst of the international COVID-19 pandemic, Immigrants detained in ICE detention centers are at high risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from the disease. Even in normal circumstances, ICE has proven time and again that it is unable to protect the health and safety of detained people-- and now more than ever, their lives are at risk, especially those with a history of health problems.

Fight back by donating to free someone at high risk for COVID-19 from detention.
