We are workers in the warehousing and shipping industries. We reject ICE raids in our workplaces, in our communities, and everywhere. The Trump administration is waging an all-out war on our immigrant communities and all working people. These operations are growing more violent and lawless, picking up hard-working immigrants off our jobs, far from their claims of only deporting “dangerous criminals.” Federal agents recently mounted military-style raids in Los Angeles – targeting day laborers, garment workers, farmers, and more. They are now even profiling people and have arrested several U.S. citizens for “walking while Brown”!
The Trump administration has promised to expand these operations across the U.S. After the people stood up to ICE raids, Trump illegally deployed 4,000 national guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA to suppress peaceful protesters. They want to rampage through our communities and want to crush any resistance to them. We won’t stand for that.
These are not just attacks on immigrants but attacks on all workers. The Trump administration has used the spectacle of raids to instill fear among immigrant workers and to distract us from who is really causing the problems in our country – the billionaires. While ICE is snatching up our immigrant coworkers and neighbors, the billionaires are pushing a federal budget that guts Medicaid and SNAP while feeding trillions of dollars to the rich, arms manufacturers, and ICE.
Our enemies aren’t our immigrant co-workers and neighbors – it’s corporate America robbing us blind. They want to divide us against each other, just like they do on the job, to keep us powerless. The only minority hurting America are the billionaires.
All across the country people are fighting back. We call on warehouse and shipping workers across the country to sign the pledge to stand up against the violent, racist attacks on immigrant workers and families!
Stop the ICE raids! Stop the racial profiling!
End the attacks on free speech and protest! ICE, National Guard, and Marines out of our communities!
