***** PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR CONTACTS IN PRISON *****

Lately, we’ve heard concerns from people inside and their families about rumors that incarcerated individuals are no longer considered U.S. citizens—or that they could be deported after serving their sentences. Let’s set the record straight. Current law is as follows:

✅ If you were born in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen—period. Incarceration does not change that.
✅ If you became a naturalized citizen, your citizenship is permanent. It cannot be revoked unless the government proves fraud in your naturalization process (which is rare).
✅ If you are undocumented or have immigration concerns, deportation may be a risk, but you still have rights—and there are organizations fighting for fair treatment.

🚨 What You Need to Know:
🔹 Extreme political statements don’t mean instant law changes. Policies must go through legal challenges before taking effect.
🔹 Fear and misinformation are used to control people. Stay informed and connected to reliable sources.
🔹 You are not alone. We and many others are fighting against policies that harm incarcerated people.

For legal resources and support:
📌 National Immigration Law Center (NILC) – nilc.org
📌 American Immigration Council – americanimmigrationcouncil.org
📌 Detention Watch Network – detentionwatchnetwork.org

We will continue to monitor any policy changes and stand for your dignity, your humanity, and your rights.
