IL Immigrant Rights

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.

We stand united with @PersonalPAC, @SierraClubIL, @EqualityILL, and @chicagolabor against these cuts and urge the Senate to reject them. (2/2)

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)

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." wbez.org/immigration/20…
