Dear John,
Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act. Later this week, it will likely go to a vote in the Senate.
The provisions in this bill violate basic tenets of the
Constitution and threaten to upend our immigration legal system, with potential impacts reaching from the local to the international level.
Please contact your senators right now to urge them to reject this anti-immigrant bill. [[link removed]]
Take Action [[link removed]]
If this bill passes, it would:
* Require mandatory detention of certain noncitizens, including any undocumented person or DACA recipient, arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting-related offenses, even if they are never charged with a crime.
* Give state attorneys general, including notoriously anti-immigrant ones from states like Texas and Louisiana, the power to dictate immigration policy at the federal level and on the international stage.
Please contact senators now using our form. [[link removed]]
Sincerely,
Bekah Wolf
Immigration Justice Campaign, Director
