In light of constant and rising threats to our immigrant communities, I have remained fiercely committed to using my office to oppose nationalist and xenophobic agendas, keeping an open door to re-establish trust in government and protecting our most vulnerable. I believe it is my duty and responsibility to fight for the protection of those fleeing dangerous – often deadly – homelands, for the possibility of justice and safety here in the U.S. I am a leader in the House, working closely with advocates like MIRA and the ACLU, to help secure important immigration protections through the Legislature.
