Internationalist Solidarity With Migrants in the United States

The document condemns the violence and racial profiling carried out by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It highlights the deaths of migrants in custody and the violation of basic human rights in detention centers. The statement argues that migration is a natural form of climate adaptation and calls for the Trump administration to end dehumanizing policies and the militarization of borders.

• US immigration agencies, specifically ICE, CBP, and DHS, are accused of practicing a disregard for human life and due process, characterized by racial profiling of Latinx and Native peoples and the intentional targeting of Black migrants.
• There is a significant death toll in ICE custody, with 38 known deaths since 2025 and eight deaths reported so far in 2026.
• Detainees in ICE facilities face violations of basic human rights, including reports of overcrowding and a lack of access to food, water, medicine, and hygiene facilities.
• Migration is identified as a form of climate adaptation, with the document asserting that people should have the right to move in response to climate breakdown and uncertainty driven by imperial powers and transnational corporations.
