Immigrant rights organizations are urging congressional Democrats to look beyond investigations of the Trump administration’s deportation crackdown and pursue lasting changes to immigration law, including a pathway to citizenship for some unauthorized immigrants.

In a letter shared first with POLITICO, a coalition of more than 150 organizations called on lawmakers to “prioritize a bold agenda” on immigration in the next Congress. The groups said Congress should respond to voters’ concerns about the tone and conduct of the administration’s mass deportation push.

The coalition wants lawmakers to investigate whether the Department of Homeland Security broke the law while carrying out that effort. But its demands extend beyond oversight: The groups are also seeking permanent legal status or citizenship for some unauthorized immigrants, the clawback of funding provided to immigration agencies through past reconciliation bills, and changes to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection operate.

“The harms inflicted on immigrant communities by this administration will echo for generations,” the organizations wrote. “Congress has the opportunity now to stand with communities under siege and show the world that accountability and justice are possible.”

The letter signals that immigrant rights groups, long an influential force in Democratic immigration policymaking, intend to play a prominent role in the party’s debates over the coming years. It also highlights divisions among Democrats over how far to go.

Progressives have called for more ambitious changes to existing immigration laws, while moderate Democrats have pressed for a more limited overhaul of Trump administration policies. The coalition’s requests place those competing approaches in sharper focus as lawmakers consider their agenda for the next Congress.

President Donald Trump has said he is willing to negotiate with Democrats on immigration, including a possible pathway to status for longtime unauthorized immigrants. But his decision to elevate Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner and his deputy chief of staff, to White House chief of staff could complicate efforts to secure ambitious legislation.
