Bill H.R. 3486 poses a threat to us all. It increases mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenses like unauthorized entry into the U.S. It fuels mass incarceration and the racial disparities in our legal system, funneling primarily people of color into private prisons with new extreme sentences. And by taking away resources from emergencies and actual public safety measures, it leaves us all less safe. The Trump administration's attacks on our communities and immigrant family members must be stopped. Immigrants deserve dignity, not detention. I urge Congress to vote no on this racist and extreme bill.
