NCJW Dallas stands with the other 88 Jewish organizations in opposing the Trump administration mass deportation and detention policies. These policies fail to address the root causes of migration and are driven by a desire to exclude “undesirable” groups through stigmatizing an entire population or ethnicity. Mass detention and deportation always lead to trauma and abuse, racial profiling, and significant financial costs.

The Jewish experience, including forced expulsions and deportations during the Holocaust, highlights the devastating impact of such practices. U.S. history also provides painful examples, such as the removal of Native Americans, the deportation of Mexicans during the Great Depression and Operation Wetback, and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II—all of which caused lasting trauma and loss.

For 112 years, we have been advocates for humane immigration policies that protect the dignity and rights of all people, and we will continue to do so. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.
