Right now, Congress is debating a bill that would cut vital services -- from Meals on Wheels to the local bus line -- to cities and states that have passed sanctuary laws to protect immigrants. Contact your member of Congress and tell them to vote "No" on H.R. 32.

As we always say, get a warrant. ICE has no right to enter a school or your home or any place not open to the public without a warrant issued by a court.

"Locking up kids doesn’t make our communities safer. A 2023 analysis by the DA’s Office shows that within five years, 57% of those arrested are arrested again." We can't arrest our way to public safety. We must invest in the resources that cut crime at its root.
