Tell Governor Gary Herbert To Keep the Utah National Guard Out of Donald Trump’s Deportation Force

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

The White House has drafted a memo calling for the Utah National Guard to round up hundreds of thousands of immigrants in Utah. But this can’t happen without Governor Gary Herbert's approval. We demand that Governor Gary Herbert keeps our state’s National Guard out of Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.

Why is this important?

According to the Associated Press, the Trump administration is considering a plan mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up millions of undocumented immigrants in states along the southern border. This includes states like California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas; as well as states adjacent to border states, like Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

Governors have the final approval on National Guard deployments. This means Donald Trump’s plan won’t work without the support of Governors.

So if we want to stop the systematic removal of millions of aspiring Americans from the United States by the National Guard, we need to make sure Governors in the targeted states hear from their constituents.

Please join with me and demand that Governor Gary Herbert does not authorize the Utah National Guard from joining Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.
