ICE continues to harm and harass individuals and Congress awards them 70 billion dollars. This is a huge slap in the face to the American people, who already feel ICE has gone too far.
When is enough, enough, Congress?
Yesterday’s People's Hearing on Immigration Enforcement in Los Angeles made one thing clear: aggressive federal crackdowns are devastating our communities. Throughout the program, we heard powerful testimony on how the federal crackdown instills fear in families and stifles local businesses.
We kicked off the day standing with car wash workers, highlighting the 373+ workers swept up and detained as a result of the federal actions, one of the many communities who were targeted and are still recovering. What’s next?
In the days ahead: We’ll share video recordings of the testimonies.
In the weeks ahead: We’ll release a report outlining lessons learned from the testimony that was presented both here in Los Angeles as well as in Chicago so that elected officials can understand the importance of prioritizing policies that protect communities from aggressive federal crackdowns.
United States Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) @RochelleMGarza, former USCCR Chair Marty Castro, and Miguel Santana, President of the @calfund moderated the forum.
The forum, facilitated by Hispanic Federation, convened civil rights and community organizations from @ImmDef, @ACLU_SoCal, @ufwfoundation, @carwasherxs, @CHIRLA, and many more local partners. The forum was supported by @latinovictoryus the @TXCivilRights, and the Miranda Family.
