Your weekly summary from the Council Dear John, This week, America felt the weight of the horrific racial violence that continues unabated in our country. The need to hold enforcement agencies accountable—both at the border and across America—becomes more evident with each senseless act. We stand with black communities in demanding accountability. We stand together in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And, we must do more to connect our pursuit of a fair and just immigration system to the pursuit of a fair and just society for all. Sincerely, LATEST ANALYSIS
