The federal government is continuing to push to enlist Delaware in its immigration enforcement program, allowing ICE to build its mass deportation force here in Delaware. You must use every power invested in you to ensure our state does not assist with efforts that terrorize immigrant communities and tear families apart. As your constituent, I'm urging you to say "yes" to legislation to: 1. Prohibit the arrest of people at sensitive places such as schools, medical facilities, places of worship (HS 1 for HB 94), and courthouses, without a valid judicial warrant or court order to protect immigrant families. 2. Make illegal racial profiling of people (HB 58) based on suspected or actual immigration status; and 3. Create safe interactions with law enforcement by requiring all law enforcement to show their face and identify themselves. While I’m grateful for the steps you have taken to protect our state’s immigrant communities — we cannot stop here. The door remains open for agencies in the state to collaborate with immigration enforcement, parents are terrified to send their kids to school out of fear of being arrested, and masked agents relying on unconstitutional tactics continue to pose a danger to all of us. We ask that you take firm action to permanently close backdoor channels for collaboration with ICE and pass critical legislation to ensure Delaware remains a place where all people — regardless of immigration or citizenship status — can live without fear and are guaranteed the civil rights and liberties of every person in this country.
