Since January 2025, more than 40 lives have been lost due to actions taken by ICE.
The aim of the Honor Their Names initiative is to present the faces of those we've lost. We want our community members to recognize who has been taken from us and to understand the deep impact each loss has had on families, communities, and our nation.
We urge people nationwide to organize vigils in their neighborhoods as a way to continue honoring their names.
