Just Communities / Comunidades Justas

This program claims to target criminals by collaborating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with local police forces; however, in reality it terrorizes communities, criminalizes innocent people, and tears families apart.

"Secure Communities" is both costly and ineffective. According to statistics from the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law, nationally, 1 in 4 people who are deported under this program have never been convicted of a crime. In our own city, Boston, 50% have not been convicted of a crime.

Just Communities works to educate and activate our community around this devastating program.  They have already successfully gotten Governor Patrick to reject this program. Now, they are targeting the City of Boston.
