The American Immigration Council works to strengthen America by honoring our immigrant roots

The American Immigration Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is a powerful voice in promoting laws, policies, and attitudes that honor our proud history as a nation of immigrants. Through research and policy analysis, litigation and communications, and international exchange, the Council seeks to shape a twenty-first century vision of the American immigrant experience.

Congress is moving to allocate another $70B to ICE and CBP through 2029. This is on top of the $170 billion it already provided last year.

Most Americans agree that ICE and CBP need reform, not more money. Instead of wasting resources to excessively fund immigration enforcement, Congress should be making investments that directly support our communities.

Danell had no reason to expect that his most recent trip to Trinidad would end anywhere but home.

He grew up in New Jersey. His family got green cards when he was four years old. Danell occasionally visits family back in Trinidad, where he was born, but his life is in the United States with his two children.

When he landed in Texas following his latest trip to Trinidad, he was detained at the airport because of a past conviction he was told would not jeopardize his legal status.

After months in detention, Danell managed to accomplish something exceedingly rare under the Trump administration: he won his case and got released.

But Danell's story shows just how expansive the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda has become — detaining people who are in the country legally and pose no public safety threat.
