As we enter day 20 of a partial government shutdown Hannah Graf Evans, FCNL’s Legislative Representative for Immigration and Refugee Policy offers an update.

Watch as she breaks down how much we spend on deportation, detention and border militarization annually; the need for a bipartisan bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security that protects the rights and dignitiy of immigrants migrants and refugees; and the impact of the ongoing shutdown on communities throughout the United States.

There is still time to weigh in with your member of Congress to urge congressional leadership and President Trump to support a bipartisan bill that limits funding for border militarization, detention, and deportation. Act now. >
