Protecting Everyone

Posted February 7, 2017

Rural Neighborhoods and two south Florida non-profit organizations urged Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez to reconsider his executive action to comply with ICE non-binding, two-day “detainer” requests after President Donald Trump threatened to deny unspecified Federal grants to cities and counties that don’t fully cooperate with immigration authorities.  The heads of the Coalition of Florida Farmworker Organizations and Centro Campesino joined Steven Kirk in a February 3rd, 2017 Miami Herald “Open Mic” letter to the editor urging local elected officials to respect and uphold the rights of residents and leave immigration enforcement to the Federal government.  Miami-Dade County Commissioners are demanding a vote on the Mayor’s executive action which could result in the turnover of more than 1,500 local immigrants annually.  Click here to read the full article.
