"Southeast Asian refugees are 3-4x more likely to be deported for past convictions than many other immigrant communities." - Sen. Pan in support of the #VISIONAct
Must read from @NualaBishari@sfchronicle .@GavinNewsom needs to separate CA from ICE in order to make right his shameful record of separating almost 200 immigrant youth from their families when he was Mayor of SF. #VISIONAct#AB937

Football is not the 3rd pillar of Polynesian culture, I just need to get that off my chest b/c it was upsetting to hear it said more than once in the documentary for what felt like alliteration purposes. “Faith, family, football”. Meanwhile culture, ancestry, land are like “wtf”
Phoeun You, a beloved community leader, was just deported. He should be home, just like any other Californian who serves their time. CA shouldn’t be using our resources to assist ICE! @GavinNewsom, pardon Phoeun & pass the #VISIONAct so that our families can reunite & heal.
“Upon my release from state prison, I was handcuffed, shackled, and transferred to the Adelanto @ICEgov Detention Center where I spent over 10 months fighting my detention for my freedom," says Tin Nguyen, a Vietnamese refugee, on why the #VISIONAct is so important. 1/2
Passing the #VISIONAct is of national importance & can keep community leaders home and families together. In the face of unjust attempts to make federal deportation policy more cruel, Gov. @GavinNewsom has the opportunity to advance immigrant rights here in CA.
The ICE out of Stockton coalition ended the week doing outreach to the community about the #VISIONAct while enjoying shaved ice! In just a few hours around 40 community members signed a petition urging @SenSusanEggman to support the bill to keep families together. Happy Friday!
