@DillonReedRose @dougducey Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik wrote to constituents in his official newsletter 22 times urging them to vote “No” on Prop 205 the Sanctuary City initiative in 2019. We begged journalists to write about it. #SanctuaryTucson

@J_derush @ChiefCMagnus @TucsonRomero You’re confusing your opinion with intelligence.

[People’s Defense Initiative @PDITucson]

Tucson deserves answers to why the Police Department sent officers to a mental health call and the victim died. You’ve had 2 months to spin the story. Screw your “press conference tomorrow!”

We did it! Once again, Pima County rejected Operation Stonegarden funds. 2 years of community engagement and Supervisors voted for no collaboration with DHS that leads to the harassment of our community.

It will be back but for now we celebrate.

Sheriff Mark Napier continues to proudly state that his officers will never become 287(g) officials, directly enforcing federal immigration laws.

WHEN WE ACCEPT OPERATION STONEGARDEN FUNDS 287(g) status BECOMES IRRELEVANT.

“A bill won’t stop police from racially profiling” @SanctuaryTucson will make it almost impossible 4 TPD to enforce SB1070 because it puts into law strict guidelines on what cannot be used 2 determine if some1 may be undocumented w the same enforcement guide as SB1070- lawsuit

[People’s Defense Initiative @PDITucson]

“A bill won’t stop deportations” interesting point considering SB1070 is in fact a “bill” and people are regularly deported because of it. @SanctuaryTucson won’t stop deportations altogether but it will certainly prevent many. #YesOn205

[People’s Defense Initiative @PDITucson]

@JonNuse @SanctuaryTucson @ChiefCMagnus Have you read the bill? What are the stipulations? Because this point actually matters here

[People’s Defense Initiative @PDITucson]

Sanctuary polices make communities safer. Period. But don’t take our word for it @ChiefCMagnus wrote a great piece about it in 2017, basically enforcing our entire @sanctuarytucson platform

@ChiefCMagnus @SanctuaryTucson Our initiative doesn’t force Tucson to declare ourselves a sanctuary city, please show us where this is written. Our bill is much more than a ‘declaration’ of sanctuary- its ambitious and it will create a safer, more welcoming Tucson for all families

[People’s Defense Initiative @PDITucson]

@ChiefCMagnus @SanctuaryTucson What an interesting point: 1) We absolutely know that ICE detaineers are honored in Pima County & Data is shared, 2) the sheriffs department routinely turns over undocumented community members, exactly like TPD, to BP and ICE 3) there is no set definition for ‘sanctuary’ 4)

@UNSEATpac @Zylie @pattonoswalt @tmicheal07 @PDITucson And here she is giving it to the #TucsonCityCouncil last night.

Their inadequate response to the issues of racial profiling, pretextual stops and detention leading to deportation is why these protections are needed.
