Undocumented immigrant communities continue to live under the threat of deportation, detention, and racial profiling. In the midst of historical levels of deportation and detention of undocumented immigrants, immigrant community organizers, activists, and advocates have mobilized to fight local law enforcement collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); fought the federal government's quota to detain 34,000 immigrant detainees at any given time; mobilized against racial profiling conducted in the name of anti-terrorism and national security; fought to protect immigrant workers against fear retaliation through use of immigration enforcement by exploitative employers; while strategically working to build coalitions with grassroots movements to end state violence against trans and queer people of color.
