""For the past year, the Trump administration has been stretching federal power to punish and intimidate communities, often by turning immigrants into scapegoats and using the Department of Homeland Security as the tip of the spear," read a statement detailing the initiative. "ICE is not making our communities safer. They are bringing chaos into our streets, and families, immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, pay the price.""
Several high-profile musicians and actors wore 'ICE OUT' pins at awards events to protest killings by masked ICE officers and to support the #BeGood campaign endorsed by the ACLU. The campaign was organized by entertainment industry professionals with support from Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power. The initiative accuses the Trump administration of expanding federal power to intimidate communities and calls ICE chaotic rather than protective. The campaign honors victims reportedly harmed or killed in ICE custody, cites a recent deadly year, and criticizes a reported $100 million recruitment drive for ICE.
