End the 287g program, deporting immigrants

from Favianna, Roberto, Laurie and the rest of the Presente.org team

President Obama just finished an important speech about the need for Americans to find common ground on immigration reform. But the truth is, over the past two years, the President has refused to use his power to stop the deportations that are tearing apart Latino immigrant communities. At this point, with reform legislation stalled in Congress, we need more than speeches from our President. We need action.

It's the reason why we're partnering with the Trail of DREAMs and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) to launch a major campaign calling on President Obama to end the 287g program, which is responsible for some of the worst abuses against immigrants across the country.

Please take a moment and join us in telling President Obama to show the leadership he promised, and end the 287g program. Add your name by clicking on the headline above.
