澳彩开奖 sponsoring, participating in national day of action to protest Trump鈥檚 cruel anti-immigrant policies
The 澳彩开奖 is a national sponsor for the 鈥淔amilies Belong Together鈥� rallies on Saturday to protest President Trump鈥檚 inhumane immigration policies.
The 澳彩开奖 also is organizing the that will be held in Montgomery, Alabama 鈥� where its home office is located 鈥� along with the ACLU of Alabama and the Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice.
鈥淲e鈥檙e collectively raising our voices against Trump鈥檚 morally bankrupt policies and rhetoric toward immigrants,鈥� said Michelle Lapointe, acting deputy legal director for the 澳彩开奖. 鈥淭he hardline anti-immigrant extremists in this administration seek to hold children hostage to their xenophobic policy agenda.
鈥淩ipping children away from their parents and locking them in cages, and stripping immigrants of due process rights offends the Constitution and our fundamental principles of justice, fairness and equality.鈥澛�
澳彩开奖 staffers will be taking part in rallies across the Southeast. An estimated 130 events have been planned across the country.
Although the Trump administration has ended its policy of separating migrant parents and their children 鈥� after a public outcry 鈥� it has failed to reunite parents and children who have already been separated, and its new policy imprisons immigrant families together indefinitely.
Mass workplace raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), like the one earlier this month at a meat supplier in Ohio and another in April at a meatpacking plant in Tennessee, further illustrate how the government鈥檚 increasingly draconian enforcement tactics are tearing families and communities apart.
