Abstract
Immigration raids and unaccounted-for seizures of human beings are occurring in New Mexico and throughout the country, with increases in their frequency and magnitude as of June 2025. As we celebrate our Independence, every U.S. citizen should do some soul searching–to seek the soul of our nation. We call on our federal elected officials to work to ensure that enforced disappearances do not happen in our beloved country. As elected representatives and educators we demand to know where our constituents are being held and under what allegations. And we ask ICE agents to consider their actions. History did not look kindly on Operation Wetback and it will not look kindly on the undermining of birthright citizenship and the mobilization of ICE agents threatening our communities.
