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
<https://www.lwv.org/take-action/tell-congress-federal-immigration-enforcement-has-gone-too-far'>,
promoted, and continued to update an action alert with multiple demands of
Congress related to federal immigration enforcement.

Authored <https://www.lwv.org/blog/whats-happening-ice-and-how-fight-back>
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

Kindly,

Rebecca
