Although the Department of Homeland Security has not provided exact numbers, unofficial estimates suggest that nearly 10,000 U.S. veterans have faced deportation as a result of mass deportation policies in 2025.

Thank you for persevering with us and making our work possible.

There is strength found in numbers, in diversity, and in the realization that none of us stands alone. We acknowledge that these are extraordinarily difficult times, and we find courage, comfort, and hope in our shared vision for a more just and equitable America.

The Federal Detention Center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, is a federal prison for people charged with serious federal crimes.

The Legal Clinic, our ILJ Affiliate serving Hawaiʻi, provides legal counsel & representation for immigrants who have been inexplicably sent far from their homes, families, & communities, with little to no access to attorneys. Why? #ICE #Hawaiʻi

This is the first court to decisively conclude that a wartime authority cannot be used during peacetime.

From the undocumented to lawful permanent residents—who make up 20% of the nation's labor force—immigrants' skilled hands, innovative ideas, and diverse leadership make this country a more vibrant and heartfelt place to live each day.

Defending immigrants' rights is defending labor rights!

On May 1st—International Workers' Day—join your local community to protest against mass deportations and other harmful immigration policies that target undocumented immigrants and directly impact the cost of living for every household.

Due Process and the Rule of Law Everyone in the United States, regardless of their legal status, has the fundamental right to due process.

The right to due process predates the Magna Carta, is enshrined in the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, and is guaranteed to every person living in this country, citizen and non-citizen alike.

Until the very last day of his extraordinary life, His Holiness never ceased calling for welcome and compassion towards the vulnerable, the marginalized, and migrants.

May his final blessing not fall on deaf ears.

ILJ Network invites you to join the fight and carry forward the legacy of leaders like María Moreno, César Chávez, and Dolores Huerta to improve working conditions, achieve labor justice, and advocate for policies that protect all workers.

Facing constant climate hazards and with little to no protection for their lives, undocumented farmworkers feed more than 300 million people in a nation that rejects them based on their nationality or skin color.

Out of the 2.6 million farmworkers in the U.S., almost half are undocumented immigrants. Yet, 70% of the food on your table comes from the very hands that this government cruelly targets. #CesarChavezDay

On this UMCOR Sunday, we call on all UMCs to support their vital humanitarian, medical, and structural efforts—helping communities rebuild after natural disasters, assisting migrants on their journeys, and gathering essential relief supplies. #UMCORSunday
