SBCC joined over 200 civil rights, racial justice, and faith-based organizing groups in signing a letter sent to Congressional leaders this week, calling on elected officials to end the Trump Administration’s “Zero-Tolerance” immigration policy.
The letter states that the “Zero-Tolerance” immigration policy, created by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has resulted in the mass persecutions of immigrants, family separation, and the transfer of children to detention centers or federal foster care programs.
The letter calls on Congress to repeal the policies that make migration a crime, and to oppose anti-immigrant legislation that expands these laws that would make it easier to convict and incarcerate immigrants for longer periods of time.
