Building Dignity & Respect Standards Council

The Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM) is committed to advocating for the human and civil rights of immigrants through systemic legislative and political changes. By collaborating with various immigrant rights and legal organizations, ICOM focuses on policy initiatives to limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICOM also leads campaigns aimed at decriminalizing communities and ending the use of state resources for civil immigration enforcement, as well as opposing the expansion of ICE detention facilities. Their ongoing efforts include organizing weekly demonstrations and fostering grassroots advocacy to ensure the dignity and safety of all immigrants in Minnesota. Generated from the website
