The Trump administration’s immigration policies, which emphasized deportation of undocumented immigrants and framing immigration as a threat to national security, led to increased tensions between federal authorities and local communities, as evidenced by the violence and public unrest surrounding immigration raids in Minneapolis.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is co-leading a multistate coalition opposing a federal immigration detention policy that requires many undocumented immigrants to be held without the opportunity for a bond hearing, arguing the policy violates due process and federal law.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has raised concerns about ICE’s plan to outsource surveillance and enforcement duties to private contractors, warning that it could erode public trust in government and potentially expand surveillance beyond undocumented immigrants.
The Trump administration’s immigration agenda has expanded beyond the undocumented to include temporary visa holders, asylum seekers, lawful permanent residents, and naturalized citizens, resulting in a system of exclusion that undermines due process and equal protection under the Constitution.
The ACLU has filed a comment warning that the HHS’s new directive would exclude noncitizens from dozens of community health, early education and social support programs, which they called “unlawful” and “harmful” to vulnerable communities.
DACA, a program that has allowed hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants to build stable lives and contribute to their communities, is in legal and economic peril due to its temporary nature and ongoing political attacks, and a permanent solution is needed to protect families and the economy.
The Trump administration’s ICE raids and military deployment in California are a direct attack on the state’s values and sovereignty, and the federal government must take immediate action to halt the raids and withdraw the troops from our streets.
