SACRAMENTO, CA - The California Legislative Jewish Caucus released the following statement regarding raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles on June 6th:
“We are outraged by Trump’s so-called “immigration enforcement” in Los Angeles today, and across the state in recent weeks. Today’s activity continues a pattern of wasteful, morally bankrupt abuse of government that is intent on traumatizing children and families. All Californians deserve to be treated with dignity and respect; singling out and targeting individual communities is not the behavior of democracies, but rather that of authoritarians. We stand with the Latino community in calling out this shameful tactic of attacks on hardworking Californians with militarized force, which ultimately endangers us all. It is troubling that the administration continues to choose to focus on making life harder for working families instead of working to improve conditions for Americans. We stand with our siblings in the Latino community against this affront to human dignity.”
