WFU POLICY
WISCONSIN FARMERS UNION'S
Immigration Policy
2026 Special Order of Business
At the 95th Annual State Convention in December 2025, Wisconsin Farmers Union delegates voted to adopt a Special Order of Business focused on immigration. The policy was defined as a top-of-mind issue for WFU members and charged as a primary area of focus for the organization in 2026. The Special Order of Business states that Wisconsin Farmers Union opposes any and all involvement of local police and sheriffs in acting as agents for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and signing 287(g) agreements for such purpose, and that the organization opposes state laws that promote or require local police to act in ICE’s capacity and often result in the forced breakup of and hardship for immigrant families.​
Other Immigration Policy
Policies that address the importance of stable farm labor and immigration reform have been long standing parts of WFU’s organizational position. In 2012, WFU delegates adopted policy in favor immigration reform which has been updated over the years to add language that supports drivers licenses, medical care, public education, fair wages, and temporary and guestworker visa reform for immigrant residents. WFU advocates for a path to citizenship and against the deportation of non-violent, law-abiding residents.
TAKE ACTION
Call Your Sheriff and Oppose 287(g)
Section 287(g) agreements are signed between local Sheriff's offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under which local police officers are emboldened to act as ICE agents, allowing them to investigate immigration status, detain individuals, and begin deportation processes.
