ICE Out of Broome County!

Join us on Saturday, March 14th at 12 PM outside the Broome County Jail (155 Lt VanWinkle Dr, Binghamton, NY) for an ICE Out of Broome County protest. Together, we will stand up and call out Sheriff Akshar’s cooperation with ICE and demand policies that protect our communities.

Across Broome County and New York State, people are organizing to push back against programs that allow local law enforcement to collaborate with ICE and tear families apart. We’re coming together to demand real change.

Our goals include:

Ending local participation in ICE 287(g) programs by advancing legislation that restricts local governments from collaborating with ICE.

Ending the Jail Enforcement Model currently used at the Broome County Jail through the 287(g) program.

Pressuring Binghamton City Council to declare Binghamton a sanctuary city through a resident resolution.

Passing the New York for All Act during this year’s state legislative session.

Passing the Dignity Not Detention Act.

Passing the MELT Act.

These policies would move New York closer to ensuring immigrant communities are treated with dignity and are protected from harmful detention and enforcement practices.

We hope to see you there! RSVP here: https://www.mobilize.us/citizenactionny/event/915734/
