[1]Alex Padilla for Senate

Friends, no one's rights should depend on their appearance or their accent.

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Trump Administration to continue detaining people based on whether they “look” like an immigrant is offensive and an affront to the Constitution.

Let me be clear: nearly half of the people in and around Los Angeles are Latino. That means that nearly half the Californians living in this area now fit the administration’s racial profiling criteria.

And this is all coming within a system in which ICE and DHS agents are still wearing masks. People have no way of knowing whether or not they’re interacting with a real government official, and have no way to hold those officials accountable for abuses of power.

They’re running kids out of parks in armored vehicles and tactical gear, and shoving people into unmarked cars. Wrongfully detaining disabled teenagers. U.S. Citizens. Veterans. People are terrified.

And now the Supreme Court is further enabling this attack on Californians, giving authorities free rein to stop, detain, and even deport anyone just for being Latino, often without due process.

Let me be clear: This fight is not over. There’s still time for the Courts to end this racist policy and protect the basic freedoms of Americans and immigrants alike.

Before I go, let me take a second to say this: thank you so much for being in this fight.

It means so much to me to know that there are so many people out there who see what’s happening, who are outraged, and who are stepping up and getting involved to protect their community.

Now let’s keep the pressure on and make it clear to Trump and his entire administration that we will not sit back and watch as they come after our friends and neighbors.

Gratefully,

Alex Padilla
