Key insights
- Friends of the Earth International (ATI) denounces systemic violence and racial discrimination against migrants by U.S. agencies, specifically the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The document cites medical negligence resulting in 38 known deaths in ICE custody since 2025 and names specific victims of killings: Keith Porter Jr., Silverio Villegas González, Renee Nicole Good, and Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
- The statement asserts that police militarism and border surveillance reinforce xenophobia and disproportionately affect Black and racialized people. It claims that the border and surveillance industry erodes human rights and separates families globally.
- ATI reports that ICE, CBP, and DHS utilize racial profiling and violent methods for detention, which they describe as unconstitutional and inhumane. Reports indicate that detainees lack adequate access to basic necessities, including food, water, medication, and sanitary facilities.
- The document frames migration as a natural human response and a form of adaptation to climate collapse. It argues that governments are responsible for ensuring safe and dignified migration routes, particularly when environmental, political, or economic uncertainty is caused by transnational corporations and imperial powers like the United States.
- ATI and Friends of the Earth US demand that the Trump administration immediately end policies that dehumanize migrants. They call for the abolition of ICE and oppose the privatization of prisons and the militarization of borders.
