Today is Inauguration day in the United States and the country is preparing for the start of a new administration. President Trump, in seeking the country’s highest office, has often spoken of massive shifts in immigration law and how immigrants are treated in the United States. His rhetoric has filled hearts with fear – fear of families torn apart by deportation; fear of deportation forces hunting immigrants in all corners of our country; fear of the young recipients that trusted in the government and applied for DACA being targeted.
This fear fuels our passion to continue to fight for our immigrant friends, families, and clients.
CAIR Coalition has always been the last line of defense for immigrants facing deportation in the Capital region. We are hopeful that cooler heads and kinder hearts will prevail and the United States will continue to be a welcoming land for all people. If not, nothing that happens today, tomorrow, or in the coming years will change this.
