IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED! Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran has applied for his office to participate in ICE's 287(g) "task force model" partnership which trains & deputizes local law enforcement officers to act as de facto ICE agents as they perform their day-to-day duties.
What To Do? - Contact Sheriff Fred Harran and tell him that you OPPOSE our police force being a part of the 287g partnership! - phone - 215.348.6124 - email - faharran@buckscounty.org - write letters and drop them at his office at 100 N. Main Street, Floor B2 Doylestown, PA 18901 - Contact Governor Shapiro - call - 717.787.2500 - text - 717.788.8990 - Contact your state and federal reps - Share this info widely - Keep an eye out for upcoming actions
Why This Is Important - Sows distrust between local law enforcement & immigrant communities - Puts immigrants & people of color at a higher risk for targeted crimes & attacks - Opens Bucks County up to lawsuits for wrongly detained individuals - Opens Bucks County up to sanctioned 'disappearing' of our community members - Wastes resources and taxpayer dollars - Sows general distrust of the police force - 287g is dangerous on both tangible & undefined levels. It is not welcome here
The Bucks County Sheriff applied to join ICE’s 287(g) program—turning local cops into deportation agents. It’s costly, dangerous, and destroys community trust. This isn’t safety—it’s overreach. Rescind the application. We keep us safe. #No287g #KeepBucksSafe
