🚨 URGENT: Stop the Weaponization of Fear 🚨

Videos
On March 14, 2025 By MPAC
MPAC is deeply alarmed by reports that the Trump Administration may invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to carry out mass deportations. This dangerous misuse of power echoes one of the darkest chapters in American history—the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII—and sets a chilling precedent for the future. Scapegoating entire communities under the guise of national security is a red line we must not cross. History has shown that policies fueled by fear and xenophobia do not make us safer—they erode our democratic values. 📢 We are standing with our allies to repeal this outdated law and ensure history does not repeat itself. Join us in supporting the Neighbors Not Enemies Act (S.193/H.R. 630)—because in America, justice must not be selective. #NoToMassDeportations #NeighborsNotEnemies #RepealTheAlienEnemiesAct #CivilRightsForAll Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
