When you call your Congressional Reps to demand they reject the Laken Riley Act, explain that this legislation exposes immigrants, and possibly even citizens to exploitation by domestic abusers, unscrupulous employers, and even police misconduct. Call them, no matter the party at 202-225-3121.

Unfortunately, it's right in line with the way mental health holds work. Almost no burden of proof and an immense expectation to detain.
Democrats are as bad as republicans when it comes to those. It's a strange void in otherwise seemingly liberal attitudes.

Democrats did have the chance to stop this in the Senate, but 11 Democratic Senators voted for this. It is just shocking.
Call Reps!

in the Senate and they are on board with voting for it. This bill allows states to sue the feds over immigration policy...
So especially call Dems!
Things that fuck Americans generally are closer to $50k. Things that can fuck over business operations approach that 6 digit range.
We need to call our Representatives repeatedly and let them know that they will have sided with one of the most rotten, unjust, discriminatory, evil bills this country has seen in generations if they go along with this!
Voting for this bill is a huge mistake!
