Let the people go

On the cusp of the sacred festivals of the Jewish Passover and the Christian Holy Week, the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity held its monthly vigil outside the immigration courts in downtown San Francisco this Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Trump administration, is continuing to target local residents and families severely destabilizing them and causing great harm to their small children especially, but to their whole families as well. ...

“So many children are now languishing in ORR custody that the agency has begun detaining children at unlicensed, “influx” facilities….These policies and practices have increased the suffering of immigrant children and families, while increasing the burden on taxpayers as well,” says Lewis Cohen, [spokesperson for the National Center for Youth Law].
