TODAY’S SOUTHWEST SIDE OPERATION SHOWS: I.C.E. IS A VIOLENT FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
Joint statement from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, @BPNCchicago, and the Southwest Rapid Response team.

We stand united in fighting back against Trump's threats to Chicago and our communities.
The devastating cuts in the GOP tax bill are an attack on workers, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, reproductive rights, healthcare, clean energy jobs, and the environment in IL and beyond. (1/2)
We stand united with @PersonalPAC, @SierraClubIL, @EqualityILL, and @chicagolabor against these cuts and urge the Senate to reject them. (2/2)

As the Trump admin ramps up "social media vetting for anti-Americanism," more immigrants are choosing to become U.S. citizens.
Our partners at @icirr say citizenship apps are ticking up as "people want to protect themselves in case anything happens."

Disappointed with today’s vote, the fight is not over. Not by a long shot. We will continue to stand and fight with our allies.
