An Open Letter

To: Rep. Pingree, Sen. King, Sen. Collins

From: A verified voter in South Portland, ME

June 26

Today the Supreme Court pulled the rug out from under thousands of asylum seekers - those currently in the country and those whose lives are still at risk. We are a country of immigrants. We can and must do better! Todays rulings weaken long-standing humanitarian protections, expand the federal government’s ability to deny safety to people fleeing harm, and threaten to strip legal status and work authorization from people who are already deeply rooted in this country AND WHO JUMPED THRU ALL THE HOOPS ASKED OF THEM! As your constituent , I call on you and every member of Congress to act immediately to protect TPS holders, defend access to asylum, and create permanent pathways to safety and stability for immigrant communities. We can, and must do better.
