Dear Charles,

The Trump administration has turned its back on some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

This week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ruled—in a decision referred to as the matter of A-B—that our country will no longer grant asylum to most victims of domestic abuse and gang violence.

This cruel decision—driven, clearly, by the hate and extremism at the heart of the Trump administration—will condemn tens of thousands of men, women, and children to death.

They're people like a Honduran woman we're representing as she awaits a hearing in a Southern detention center. She recently fled her country with four children to escape a lifetime of brutal domestic violence. Two of her young daughters survived rape attempts by gang members there.

Session has lost all touch with American values.

He has demonstrated his utter indifference to the fate of immigrants—particularly vulnerable women—who come to our shores seeking help.

And he is undermining due process and the rule of law by referring individual immigration cases to himself.

This can't stand.

Tell the Department of Justice (DOJ) that our government should not give in to hate. We must not close our doors to the world's most vulnerable people.

Call the DOJ's main comment line at 202-353-1555.

Here is a sample script to help you make your call:

To the DOJ:

My name is [name] and I live in [city/state]. I am calling to tell Attorney General Jeff Sessions that I do not support his decision in the Matter of A-B. With this order, the Trump administration has turned its back on some of the most vulnerable people in the world. I demand that the attorney general stop his anti-immigration agenda. I, and many other citizens, stand against hate and xenophobia—and demand that the Department of Justice do the same.

Thank you for standing with us against the Trump administration's heartless agenda.

Sincerely,
Your friends at the SPLC
