TODAY’S SOUTHWEST SIDE OPERATION SHOWS: I.C.E. IS A VIOLENT FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
Joint statement from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, @BPNCchicago, and the Southwest Rapid Response team.
The devastating cuts in the GOP tax bill are an attack on workers, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, reproductive rights, healthcare, clean energy jobs, and the environment in IL and beyond. (1/2)
As the Trump admin ramps up "social media vetting for anti-Americanism," more immigrants are choosing to become U.S. citizens.
Our partners at @icirr say citizenship apps are ticking up as "people want to protect themselves in case anything happens."
