US President Donald Trump has vowed to implement a mass deportation campaign targeting millions of immigrants and people seeking safety. His plans will rely on mass arrests, mass detention, and mass removals of both longstanding community members and recently arrived people. It will deprive people of the opportunity to ask for safety, throw people into arbitrary detention, return people to harm, separate families, tear apart communities, subject people to racial profiling, spread fear, and undermine human security, prosperity, and dignity. We urge President Trump to respect the human rights of immigrants and people seeking safety and abandon his mass deportation campaign.
