*****ACTION ALERT
Ask DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano “Why are YOU proliferating racial profiling?”
Janet Napolitano is a guest on the Bill Maher show today. Please email the producer and share the devastating impact of ICE ACESS and 287(g) programs in your community. Bill Maher should know to ask Napolitano why she insists on proliferating racial profiling through the 287(g) program.

It is more powerful if you share the specific impact on your community but here are some sample questions/comments:
1) Tell Napolitano that cosmetic changes to a fundamentally flawed 287(g) program will do nothing to alleviate the severe civil rights abuses and the problems of deputizing local police to enforce federal immigration law.
2) Why have you expanded the 287(g) program when it is well documented that it leads to public safety concerns, racial profiling, and civil rights abuses?
3) Recently your boss President Obama denounced racial profiling. Yet why do you continue to contract with pronounced racist sheriffs, like Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who use the program to persecute people of color?
Go to facebook and post these questions on Bill’s Maher page as well.
All you have to do is become a fan and you can post commnets on his page, after you are done you can un fan yourself from his page.
