Every authoritarian playbook starts the same way: target the most vulnerable. And once that first domino falls, the rest become easier to knock down. In America, that first domino is undocumented immigrants.
At NILC, we’re fighting every day to keep that first domino standing because protecting immigrants’ rights protects our democracy.
This #GivingTuesday, your gift to NILC helps us fight back against authoritarianism and fight for immigrant justice.
Across the country, people can’t afford to pay rent, buy groceries, or see a doctor. And yet, Congress just handed ICE an annual budget that’s bigger than most militaries.
It’s time to ask:
- How did we get here?
- Who benefits from keeping working people divided and immigrants undocumented?
- How is there endless money to tear apart communities but never enough when it comes to investing in our wellbeing?
A better future is still possible—but only if we build it together.

As people struggle to cover medical bills, put food on the table or gas in the car, it's obscene that Congress is about to take another $70+ BILLION from our pockets for mass deportations, ICE, and CBP.
📣These are YOUR tax dollars. If you want them to be used to improve lives - not terrorize immigrants - we need you to pick up the phone, and let your Rep. know: (202) 224-3121.
If you called your Reps, let us know in the comments ⬇️
🗣️FUND CARE, NOT ICE!
Republicans are pushing $70 billion into ICE and Border Patrol while families are struggling to afford health care, groceries, gas, and utilities. ICE is a death machine. This bill hands them another blank check to expand harm in our communities. Since Trump took office, at least 49 people have died in ICE custody because of neglect, abuse, and inhumane conditions. That’s one life lost every 10 days.
On May 20, hundreds of immigrants, allies and working families affected by the cuts on SNAP, Medicaid and ACA are coming together in D.C. to say enough! We need you there with us. Sign up at the link in bio.
Miscarriages.
Third trimester deportations.
Substandard medical care.
We analyzed new data from DHS — and what it reveals is deeply concerning. There is a human rights crisis of pregnant people in immigration detention.

Thank you @spaceykacey for inviting @themariachibrothers , Antonio, Caleb, and Joshua to the stage. 🎺🪗
Earlier this year, ICE detained the Gámez-Cuéllar family at a routine check in, separating oldest brother Antonio from his parents and siblings. Their community organized powerfully in response. We are thrilled that the family is reunited and proud that NILC's legal team represented Antonio in his parole request, along with @garciagarciaattorneys .
This moment is a beautiful reminder of what showing up for our neighbors can look like — sharing space, championing one another, and refusing to look away. Music knows no borders 🎶❤️
