LULAC — Urgent ••• Stand Up for Immigrant Essential Workers—Add Your Name

Posted inDemocracy, Immigration, local, news
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.

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.
