Miami-Dade Must Protect Immigrants from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force!
In an unacceptable and despicable attempt to score political points with Donald Trump, Miami-Dade County’s Republican Mayor, Carlos Gimenez, has terminated protections that would keep immigrant families across South Florida safe from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force. Miami-Dade is a diverse and inclusive community that should refuse to comply with Trump's racist policies. If we want to keep immigrant families safe from Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant attacks, then we must ask the Miami-Dade County Commission to reinstate protections for immigrants across South Florida immediately!
Why is this important?
Donald Trump’s recent actions on immigration are a dramatic, radical, and extreme assault on immigrants and the values of our country, which is why we must fight back against them.
In Florida, Miami-Dade’s Republican Mayor, Carlos Gimenez, has terminated critical protections that would shield immigrant families from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.
Without these protections, countless families could be separated from their loved ones, profiled and criminalized by local police, and be subject to deportation under Donald Trump’s extreme executive orders on immigration.
Immigrants are part of Miami-Dade's vibrant community and have a long history of contributing to local economy and culture, which is why we cannot allow Mayor Gimenez to turn over immigrants across Miami-Dade to Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.
Put simply; Mayor Gimenez should be protecting the hard-working immigrant families across Miami-Dade, not looking to score political points with racists like Donald Trump.
If we want to keep immigrant families safe from Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant attacks, then we must hold Republican Mayor Carlos Gimenez accountable and ask the Miami-Dade County Commission to reinstate protections for immigrants across South Florida immediately!
