NIJC Responds to U.S. Government Use of Tear Gas at the Southern Border

Statement of NIJC Executive Director Mary Meg McCarthy

Firing tear gas at men, women, and children seeking asylum is a human rights violation.

NIJC urges Americans to call members of Congress and demand they speak out to oppose this unconscionable act of force by the U.S. government.

ACT NOW: Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to your senators and representative.
