Aspen Ave.. Flagstaff. About this event This is a pivotal moment. The billionaire agenda is dismantling our government: overseeing mass firings, gutting worker protections and social services, and transferring wealth to the 1% while funding a private army of ICE agents. This Labor Day won’t just be a barbecue. Across the country, unions and community organizations are deepening our coalitions, growing our capacity, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder to fight back. Workers are confronting attacks on public schools, civil rights, and democracy, while supporting each other’s local fights against workplace abuse.

American Immigration Council — Local Economies Contract as Immigration Enforcement Expands

Posted inDemocracy, Immigration, news
Seven months into President Trump’s term, immigration enforcement operations continue to ramp up, and the broader economic impacts are beginning to come into view. Rather than focus on the “worst of the worst,” the Trump administration has increasingly targeted worksites for immigration raids, picking up delivery drivers, street vendors, farmworkers, meatpackers, and others working in industries across the country.

America Immigration Council — This Week in Immigration: The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Is Ugly for Tax-Paying Immigrant

I Just Finished a Life-Changing Semester Abroad. But Thanks to Trump’s Policies, I’m Afraid Other Students Won’t Have the Same Opportunity.  After a bittersweet goodbye, I returned to the U.S. in May. Yet while I still was ecstatic over the life-changing experience I had just concluded abroad, the Trump administration was increasing its efforts to target international students wanting to study in the U.S. International students are now increasingly prevented from having the same educational and personal opportunities that I, a U.S. citizen, had just been able to access.

They harvested our food, stocked our shelves, cared for our elders, and kept our hospitals, farms, and factories running while much of the country was in lockdown. Immigrant essential workers are not only vital—they are heroic. But now, too many of them face the threat of deportation, despite the sacrifices they made to keep America going. President Trump has said he wants to protect immigrants working in essential sectors. We must ensure those words become action. More than 160,000 people have already signed the national petition. Let’s raise our voices and demand dignity, protection, and permanence for essential workers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) (July 10) celebrates a landmark decision by U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante of New Hampshire, who issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration’s executive order seeking to strip automatic birthright citizenship from children born in the United States to undocumented parents. This decision marks a crucial victory for members of LULAC, the first organization to file a lawsuit challenging the administration’s attempt to undermine one of the most fundamental rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

Posted inDemocracy, Immigration, local, news
Over the last several months, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has targeted and arrested individuals as they leave or attempt to attend immigration court hearings. This sends a deeply troubling message — that those who attempted to follow the legal process may be placing themselves in harm's way. These tactics risk undermining trust in the legal system and may deter people from pursuing lawful avenues to resolve their immigration status.
