It's more important than ever to know your rights and make a plan to keep you and your loved ones safe. Read our Know Your Rights with ICE guide and access other important resources for AAPI immigrant communities: stopaapihate.org/2025/03/21/k...

The Trump admin is rapidly expanding ICE's manpower — hiring more than 12,000 officers and agents over the past few months — but has reduced the agency's training requirements from 3+ months to just 6 weeks.

The implications are clear: ICE isn't here to serve or protect. They're here to terrorize.

When unchecked state violence is normalized, all of our freedoms and safety are at risk.

We echo growing demands for a thorough, independent investigation into ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good and an end to the terror and violence ICE is inflicting on communities across the country.

And 2025 was the deadliest year for ICE in over two decades, with 32 people dying in their custody — including six Asian people. This escalating pattern of violence culminating in Renee’s killing demonstrates how dangerous ICE has become — not just to immigrants but to all people in this country.

And it is a devastating reminder that no one is safe when immigration agents are allowed to act without transparency, integrity, or accountability.

In just the past five months, federal immigration officers have fatally shot at least three other people.

And as the Trump admin explores ways to expand ICE's deadly facilities – including renovating industrial warehouses to detain thousands of people, according to reporting by the Washington Post – our leaders need to do more to stop this cruel cycle of family separation, unlawful detention, and abuse.

Their deaths are the devastating result of the inhumane conditions inside of ICE's facilities, from delayed medical care to inadequate food and water. This is a full-blown human rights crisis that is already escalating just a week into 2026.

Today, a woman was shot to death by ICE in Minneapolis.

Take action now: Urge your representatives to sign onto the No Ban Act to stop the travel ban and stop the attack on our immigrant communities. stopaapihate.org/stop-travel-...

For the Trump administration, the travel ban is about exclusion. It’s about keeping people of color out of America. It echoes the shameful legacy of the Chinese Exclusion Act — and as AAPI communities, we can’t allow history to repeat itself.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about national security or law and order. This is the same administration that is effectively shutting the door to asylum-seekers; deporting people without due process; and forcing immigrants out of line at their own citizenship ceremonies.

Who will feel the impact of the latest travel ban?

➡️ The children, spouses, and parents of U.S. citizens with pending visas.

➡️ Palestinian families fleeing violence and persecution in Gaza.

➡️ People with pending applications to work, study, or get medical treatment in the United States.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. PI communities continue to grapple with the long-standing effects of colonization, militarization, and displacement.

Anti-PI hate also intensifies isolation, with 45% of PI adults who experienced hate reporting that they didn’t feel accepted in American society. To make things worse, their needs after experiencing hate are not being met: 56% said that they needed support after a hate act, but didn’t receive it.

Anti-PI hate is a serious threat to health and safety: 23% of respondents faced physical harm or unwanted contact during hate acts, and 6 in 10 respondents (58%) who experienced hate reported negative effects on their mental or physical health.

Thanks to the activists who mobilized at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, Sorio can remain in the U.S. for the time being to get the medical attention that he needs.

It's a testament to the power grassroots organizing has to stop Trump's mass deportations and save immigrant lives. 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿
