We, the below signed organizations representing millions of women, write to express our horror and dismay regarding the Trump administration’s inhumane treatment of immigrant women and children which undermines our nation’s values, destroys families and communities, and hurts our economy and country. Since President Trump took office, this administration has embraced policies that endanger the lives and livelihoods of immigrant women, tear families apart, undermine fair pay, and leave children without the family members who love them. We call on Congress to engage in aggressive oversight and to enact legislation that affirms the dignity of immigrant women and children and protects our country.
