Dear Friend,
I know that this is a scary moment for many in our community as masked ICE agents launch widespread raids across the state. I do not condone anyone entering this country illegally and have long supported reforms to improve our immigration system. However, Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort is as cruel as it is ineffective. His Administration is targeting schools and churches, pulling people, including legal residents, off the street, and throwing them into inhumane detention centers without recourse.
Please know that I will continue fighting to uphold the Constitution and protect the civil liberties of every resident of this country. Let me also make something clear: your legal status in this country does not negate your right to the due process. The best thing that you can do for yourself and your neighbors is to know your rights. I encourage you to take the time to review the information below and share it with your family and friends. You can download a printable version in English and Spanish here. As always, my office is here to assist with any questions you may have.
Sincerely, Jim
