Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Arrest quotas kill people. Enforcement that runs on a daily number stops looking for dangerous people and starts looking for findable ones, and the lawyer in the tee has a client who was findable: a dad at his check-in appointment, on the calendar, exactly where the agency told him to be. Sixteen hundred arrests a day and 43,000 bookings in a month is the quota. This tee names what it does.

Wear it to the immigration court vigil, the city council session on enforcement agreements, the legal clinic, the rally outside the detention center, and the family dinner where a relative says they are only taking the worst. It is a strong gift for an immigration lawyer, a rapid response volunteer, a family member of the dad at the check-in, and the friend who read the quota memo.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a rally outside the detention center. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the check-in-appointment entry in the immigrant rights collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Would an immigration clinic order these for the rally? Clinics do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black by a wide margin. White for the vigil.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the rally, the courthouse, the vigil, the neighborhood that looks out for its own.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
