Immigrantsbelonghere
Eleven million people work here, pay taxes here and raise citizens here with no legal way to become permanent. Two things live on this site: what to do if immigration enforcement comes to your door, and what the evidence says about the people they come for.
- 01Do not open the door. Speak through it.
- 02Ask to see a warrant signed by a judge, slid under the door.
- 03Say: "I am exercising my right to remain silent. I want to speak to a lawyer."
- 04Do not run, do not lie, do not show false documents.
- 05Record if you can. You have the right to film law enforcement in public.
- 06Call the MigraWatch hotline: 1-844-363-1423. Write down badge numbers and the license plate.

What we want
A pathway to citizenship.
Eleven million people live here permanently with no legal way to become permanent. That is a policy choice, and it can be un-chosen.
Abolish ICE.
ICE is 23 years old. Seven in ten people it detains have no criminal conviction, and more people died in its custody in 2025 than in the previous four years combined.
Stop paying for mass deportation.
Deporting everyone would cost taxpayers $88 billion a year, take over a decade, and shrink the economy by more than the Great Recession did.
