Our Elected Officials Must Inform Public About Prospect Of Mass Deportations

There have been ups & downs today about the fate of anti-immigrant SB 4 in Texas.

This is the law that would empower all local law enforcement across Texas to check the immigration status of everyone they encounter.

The far-right 5th Circuit green-lighted the bill over the weekend. But the U.S. Supreme Court has now stayed the law until March 13.    

​The bottom line is that the Supreme Court is a wrecking ball and nobody knows what they'll do & Donald Trump is clear as day that he intends to use local police as well as National Guard for mass round-ups and deportations of migrants.

We must press our elected officials to inform and prepare the public for the prospect of mass round-ups, ask hard questions about what role the Houston Police Department would play is such circumstances and strengthen our own networks of activism and community protection.
