Life will irrevocably change for millions of Latinos because of what the Supreme Court just ruled. Shame on Kavanaugh and the five other justices who sided with him for uncorking a deportation demon that will be hard to stop.

The #SCOTUS ruling is a devastating blow, permitting discrimination and illegal ICE stops based on race, language spoken, location, and type of work. This decision cuts deep, but it cannot silence our collective resolve to fight for true justice. https://t.co/VhWDL2JhIy

#KnowYourRights: In times of increased immigration enforcement, staying informed is your strongest defense. Our hard-fought July 11 Temporary Restraining Order means federal agents have to *follow protocol and procedure* when stopping & detaining peple. PLEASE SHARE.

A new LA City report calls for bold action to protect low-wage workers—incl. enforcing OT & meal breaks and partnering w/ community groups & the County of LA. We’re urging the City to invest in real enforcement now. When workers speak up, we all benefit. https://t.co/I3tVl2N8FK

Since June 6, ICE has been disappearing Angelenos—detaining people without warrants, legal counsel, or due process. This is racial profiling. It’s unlawful. And we’re fighting back.

🚨We’re suing alongside @ACLU_SoCal + @PublicCounsel to say: #NOTONEMORE. https://t.co/nJRkMvVyh4
