澳彩开奖 statement on Mississippi immigration raids
澳彩开奖 Attorney聽Julia Sol贸rzano, with the 澳彩开奖鈥檚 Immigrant Justice Project, issued the following statement on today's聽workplace raids in Mississippi:
鈥淭oday鈥檚 raids are part of the ongoing war against immigrant families聽and the communities in which they live.聽These sorts of raids terrorize workers and their families. What鈥檚 more, today鈥檚 raids needlessly ripped parents from their children during聽the first week of school.聽
鈥淚t is especially sickening that days after immigrants were targeted by a gunman in El Paso, Texas, workers at plants across Mississippi witnessed armed agents descending on their workplace.
鈥淚t鈥檚 also worth noting that immigration agencies that have repeatedly blamed 鈥榦vercapacity鈥� detention facilities for the horrific treatment of those imprisoned nevertheless detained more than 600 people today.聽
鈥淥ur attorneys and advocates are closely monitoring the situation and exploring options to assist those impacted.鈥澛犅犅犅�
