RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the psychological impact of immigration enforce-
ment overreach on individuals, their families, and their 
community. 
Whereas 66 percent of undocumented immigrants have lived 
in the United States for over a decade, making them 
deeply rooted in American communities; 
Whereas mass deportations would therefore cause serious 
harm for families, disrupt local economies, and destabilize 
essential labor markets;

Whereas there are approximately 4,700,000 mixed-status 
households comprised of 16,700,000 people who share a 
home with at least 1 undocumented resident; 
Whereas an estimated 5,500,000 American-born, United 
States-citizen children live with an undocumented family 
member; 
Whereas, since January 20, 2025, the Trump administration 
has established informal arrest quotas, revived family de-
tention centers, and doubled detention capacity to nearly 
100,000, including on military bases, vastly expanding 
the number of individuals and families experiencing im-
migration detention; 
Whereas, since January 20, 2025, individuals have been 
wrongfully targeted, detained, and even deported; 
Whereas, since January 20, 2025, the use of expedited depor-
tation has been vastly expanded, stripping due process 
rights from immigrants who wish to contest their re-
moval; 
Whereas 71.7 percent of people currently detained by U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (hereinafter re-
ferred to ‘‘ICE’’) have no criminal convictions; 
Whereas 93 percent of those detained by ICE have never 
been convicted of a violent offense; 
Whereas individuals are now experiencing elevating levels of 
anxiety, hypervigilance, and panic attacks due to immi-
gration enforcement; 
Whereas family separation is a significant concern among mi-
grants and their communities; 
Whereas ICE is stripping people of legal status and arresting 
them at courthouses;

Whereas individuals are now experiencing increased social 
isolation and loneliness to avoid potential ICE activity; 
Whereas family separation caused by incarceration or depor-
tation can be more detrimental to children’s health, be-
havior, and academic achievement than parental death or 
divorce, with children deportees displaying higher rates of 
depression, anxiety, and academic withdrawal; 
Whereas family separation caused by incarceration and de-
portation disproportionately affects poor people and ra-
cial minorities whose communities are already more likely 
to be under stress and unable to compensate for the pa-
rental loss, thereby exacerbating structural inequalities; 
and 
Whereas, on June 14, 2025, protests occurred across the Na-
tion against stringent immigration enforcement: Now, 
therefore, be it
