Your weekly summary from the Council

 QUOTE OF THE WEEK 

"We feel the weight of racial violence continuing unabated throughout our country as communities protest the violent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and hundreds of other Black lives. The American Immigration Council stands in solidarity with Black communities in demanding accountability and justice.

The march toward immigration justice has never existed in a silo. We must do more to connect our pursuit of a fair and just immigration system to the pursuit of a fair and just society all. Our pursuits of freedom should be forged together."

– Beth Werlin, executive director of the American Immigration Council
