The organization will be pausing operations on Friday, January 30, in solidarity with communities facing ongoing harm from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The organization announced it will close Friday, Jan. 30 as part of a national shutdown in opposition to ICE and CBP and the brutality and terror they and other federal agencies continue to inflict on immigrant communities and any who stand with them. This decision, the organization stated, was not made lightly, emphasizing a refusal to remain silent in the face of what they describe as violence.
The action reflects a broader movement of resistance against federal immigration policies and practices. The organization’s statement explicitly connects its closure to the experiences of those impacted by ICE and CBP actions, signaling a commitment to aligning its practices with its advocacy.
