Amica Center strongly condemns the disgraceful passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025.” This harmful legislation threatens the very core of our communities.

This catastrophic bill escalates immigration detention, jeopardizing community safety and eroding democracy. It slashes funding for vital safety nets and healthcare programs, leaving working families stranded. The bill callously rips food and health care from the hands of children and families, diverting billions into the expansion of immigration detention.

“This despicable bill viciously targets marginalized communities by tearing apart the support systems that sustain us while blatantly prioritizing the interests of the ultra-wealthy,” said Michael Lukens, Executive Director at Amica Center. “But silence is not an option—we will continue to stand and fight to protect families and immigrant communities across the country.”

At Amica Center, we are committed to advocating for the rights and safety of immigrant communities because everyone deserves to be free, safe, and supported. Together, we will defend one another.
