Statement from IL Immigrant Rights Executive Director Lawrence Benito in response to today’s hearing of the House Oversight Committee on Welcoming City policies in Chicago and other major cities:

With Congress facing a critical deadline to avoid a government shutdown this week, lawmakers need to hear from us right now. Tell your US Senators to block additional funding for Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement, detention, and deportation agenda: icirr.quorum.us/campaign/11364…

We urge our Illinois Senators to vote NO on cloture and the Republican Continuing Resolution today.

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.
