At 3 pm, Rep. T.J. Roberts will push a plan forcing all KY law enforcement into 287(g) agreements with ICE. This strips local control and fuels fear.
Call 1-800-372-7181 and tell the Joint Committee on Local Government: “Oppose mandatory 287(g).”

Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, many Kentuckians are choosing to withhold spending from Target, Home Depot and Amazon. These corporations have enabled policies that abandon DEI, allow ICE to target families, and prioritize tax breaks over communities. Collective pressure matters. #WeAintBuyingIt
