Thursday May 14, 8:30am-noon EDT, Rally and Pack The Room (in DC) In Support of Fairfax County Immigrants
From: Ayuda
On May 14, the House Committee on the Judiciary is holding a hearing that seeks to single out Fairfax County and fuel anti-immigrant narratives built on misinformation and division. Sheriff Kincaid and Commonwealth Attorney Descano have both been called to testify at a hearing regarding Fairfax County's Trust Policy, which protects immigrant communities by restricting collaboration with ICE and ensuring that local resources are focused on public safety.
This hearing is part of a broader, nationwide effort to attack local policies that support immigrant communities—an effort that is increasingly placing Virginia, and Fairfax County in particular, in its crosshairs.
Where: House Triangle, 45 Independence Ave SW, Washington DC , DC 20004
