Special thanks to Gina Riggio for the use of her song “No Guarantee”:


A wide range of faith, immigrant rights, and community-based organizations joined Detention Watch Network recently announced the launch of its “Dignity, Not Detention” campaign, calling on Congress to repeal all laws mandating the detention of immigrants.

Through its Dignity, Not Detention campaign, Detention Watch Network is calling on Congress and the Obama Administration to:

  • Repeal all laws mandating the detention of non-citizens.
  • Put an end to all policies and programs that use the criminal justice system to target people for detention and deportation.
  • Bring the U.S. into compliance with its obligations under international human rights law, which prohibits arbitrary detention.

Endorse the campaign now!
