Why This Exists
When local governments become entangled in federal immigration enforcement, everyone pays the price. Families are torn apart. Victims of crime stop coming forward. Constitutional rights are violated. And taxpayers foot the bill for costly lawsuits.
But there's another way.
Across America, communities are proving that smart policy can protect immigrant neighbors while strengthening public safety for all residents. These policies aren't radical—they're rooted in the Constitution, supported by law enforcement leaders, and backed by data.
The problem? These solutions are scattered. A bill that works in California isn't easy to find in Virginia. A county ordinance in Illinois doesn't reach organizers in Texas.
SafeImmigrant.US changes that.
We've built a repository of immigrant protection policies and campaigns.
Who This Is For
- Legislators looking for proven policy language they can introduce
- Advocates building campaigns in their communities
- Attorneys advising clients and local governments
- Researchers studying what works
- Anyone who believes in the promise of safe, welcoming communities
Our Approach
We believe in meeting people where they are. Not everyone comes to this issue from the same place—and that's okay. Some care deeply about immigrant rights. Others prioritize fiscal responsibility or public safety. Many simply believe in constitutional principles.
Our resources speak to all of these values, because protecting immigrant communities isn't a partisan issue—it's a practical one.
Get Involved
This is a living resource. If you've worked on legislation we should include, or if you're implementing a policy and want to share what you've learned, we want to hear from you.
