Stop Trump-Style Deportations in Europe
Next week, the European Parliament could vote on Trump-style deportations in Europe. A scary law that would make it easier to detain people and deport them - even to countries they’ve never even set foot in.
This proposal crosses clear red lines.
- It risks creating offshore “return hubs” - places outside Europe where people can be sent and held while waiting to be deported, far from public scrutiny.
- It gives police agents broader powers to stop and question people in everyday spaces.
- And it opens the door to the detention of children and families.
Many politicians have condemned Trump-style deportations and the abuses linked to ICE. Reproducing those same practices in Europe would cross a line - and expose a stark hypocrisy.
Your message can strengthen those defending fundamental rights - and make our politicians think twice before becoming like Trump.
In your email, ask your representatives to:
- Say no to sending people to detention centres outside Europe
- Oppose giving police broader powers to stop and question people based on how they look or where they come from
- Make clear that children and families must never be detained
- Refuse to vote for a deportation law backed by extremists
Keep your message clear, respectful and firm (some of the people reading you are on our side and need encouragement!). Remind them that this vote will be watched - and remembered.
Thank you for standing up with us.
