The National Women's Caucus Against ICE and Police Collaboration has written a letter asking President Obama to stop ICE and local police collaboration programs, such as 287(g) and "Secure Communities," which opened the door to the passage of Arizona's SB1070.

President Obama himself stated, "When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids – when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing… When all that's happening, the system just isn't working." Let's hold President Obama accountable to his words and tell him to stop programs that allow ICE and local police collaborations and that pave the way for harsh legislation like SB1070.
