That is why we strongly support the three immigrant protection bills on the Governor's desk. These bills, which we applaud our state legislature for passing, would stop sensitive data from being shared with the federal government, protect immigrants in sensitive locations, and codify the Immigrant Trust Directive. We must and will continue to stand with immigrants and take urgent action to protect our neighbors.” Print Email Share Previous Article Next Article About Services News Contact Facebook Logo Twitter Logo BlueSky Logo Youtube Logo Instagram Logo
