No on Ohio HB26

The proposed legislation, Ohio House Bill 26 titled the "Protecting Ohio Communities Act", aims to mandate cooperation between state and local authorities with federal immigration enforcement. It also threatens funding reductions for non-compliance. While immigration is a complex issue, this bill raises concerns about potential civil liberties violations and unjust treatment of vulnerable communities. Instead of punitive measures, a more humane and nuanced approach that upholds human rights and due process is needed. I urge you to carefully consider the far-reaching implications of this bill and vote against it, prioritizing compassion over harsh crackdowns that could tear families apart and erode trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
