Good Evening Immigration Interest Group,
I hope this email finds you taking good care. Please find below multiple actions LWVUS has taken in response to continuing immigration concerns:
Urged the Senate to vote not on additional funding for ICE ahead of their DHS appropriations vote.
Posted, promoted, and continued to update an action alert with multiple demands of Congress related to federal immigration enforcement.
Authored a blog on what’s happening with ICE/CBP and with a host of know your rights guides to review and disseminate.
Joined a letter to Congress urging the protection of sensitive locations during immigration enforcement.
LWVUS has also posted to LMS a Civic Action Toolkit for affiliates to respond to this moment.
Kindly,
Rebecca

Subject: LWVUS Recent Immigration Actions
Good Afternoon Immigration Interest Group,
I hope this email finds you taking good care. Please find below multiple actions LWVUS has taken in response to recent immigration concerns:
Joined LULAC and Common Cause in calling on Congress to launch an investigation into federal immigration enforcement use-of-force incidents.
Signed onto a letter to Congress urging them to refuse increased funding for ICE and Border Patrol, and to demand that DHS appropriations bills include accountability measures for immigration enforcement agencies (will be posted on LWVUS’ website shortly).
Joined comments to DHS opposing the public charge proposed rule.
Kindly,
Rebecca
