Yesterday in Los Angeles, our communities came together to dream big for California's future. 🙌

Thank you to our partners — Alliance for a Better Community, CHIRLA, ORALE, SALVA, and extra thanks to CARECEN for hosting us!

[California Immigrant Policy Center @CALimmigrant]

And to every community member who showed up to share their vision for what California can be under the next administration. Your voices are shaping our roadmap forward.

“We currently live in a climate where we can’t rely on the federal government to conduct their own investigation into shootings,” said Shiu-Ming Cheer, the deputy director of immigrant and racial justice at the California Immigrant Policy Center.

“Every dollar the federal government spends is a choice — and right now, it’s choosing detention and intimidation over health care, food, due process, and the nonprofits standing with immigrant communities,” said Masih Fouladi, Executive Director of CIPC.

@moniquelimonca, @AsmCervantes, @casendems, We urge you to PASS AB 1806 (@AsmJesseGabriel ) out of the Senate Appropriations committee.

Since January 2025, ICE and Border Patrol agents have shot at and killed 11 people across the United States, including in California. 🧵/4

Recent changes to public charge can cause families to avoid public benefits, even if they’re eligible.

We agree with our partner from @CALimmigrant , @benyaminchao:

It sends a message that the government sees the health of immigrants as not important.

Today, hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants across the country and thousands here in California will lose Temporary Protected Status.

We stand in solidarity with Haitian communities as they face this moment.

“We're afraid that families who are in need of food will choose not to access CalFresh even though a child in that household is eligible.” - Benyamin Chao, supervising health and public benefits policy manager at the California Immigrant Policy Center.

The Trump administration finalized a new “public charge” rule that gives immigration officers broader authority to deny permanent residency to immigrants who have used certain public programs, such as Medicaid, food, or housing assistance.

❗New CalFresh work requirements are in effect. We’ve created a fact sheet to help families understand if they’re affected: https://t.co/NfpcXikJl6

What would it look like to evaluate ICE by how they affect children's health and well-being?
This report on the #MentalHealth of kids in immigrant families, created with @CALimmigrant, remains just as relevant today as when it was published:

That's why we need AB 1806 (Gabriel) NOW. It would require California's AG to independently investigate every ICE-involved shooting death — and prosecute when justice demands it.

The Legislature and @CAgovernor must pass it. Read our full statement: https://t.co/8IAcfcPxJf

We demand justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastián Guerrero, and everyone else taken by ICE.

No matter where you live — Maine, Texas, or right here in California — you deserve due process and independent review when a government agent takes a life.

"The urgency of this moment is six people, in the last year, six people have died inside California's private detention facilities," said Bruno Huizar of the California Immigrant Policy Center.

Immigrants didn't just come to this country. They helped build it. Every single day. Our communities are stronger, safer and more vibrant because immigrants are part of them.

That's not rhetoric. It's the truth this country was built on, and it's worth saying out loud today. 🇺🇸

This 4th of July, we celebrate freedom, dignity and opportunity — values immigrants have always fought hardest to make real.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

As the proud son of immigrants, the Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship is personal to me. 

The 14th Amendment is clear: every kid born here is a citizen who deserves a shot at the American dream.
