标 题: 主党v5:全国总动员阻止trump遣返非法移民

Democratic state legislators and city council members are planning
widespread resistance to efforts by President-elect Donald Trump to crack
down on undocumented immigrants and reform labor laws.
Trump has promised to deport millions of immigrants with criminal records,
and labor leaders are worried that the new administration will be an
impediment to efforts to boost the minimum wage and implement paid family
leave policies. While Democrats control less than a third of the nation’s
partisan legislative chambers, the party hopes cities and states can serve
as a bulwark.
“We are centers of organizing and protest,” said Elizabeth Glidden, a
member of the Minneapolis city council. “We have to be loud with our voice
and our values.”
Already, city attorneys in the country’s largest metropolises have held
conference calls to organize a legal response should the Trump
administration cut or hold their federal funding. Mayors, police chiefs and
city council members have promised to defend their immigrant communities,
and many have said they do not intend to comply with federal orders to
detain undocumented people on the basis of their immigration status.
“We’re going to have a lot of fights in the days ahead of us,” said Brad
Lander, a member of the New York City Council. “The work to protect
immigrants in our cities is coming quickly.” |
