Description
Boston's immigrant community needs us now more than ever. Mayor Walsh joined leadership from around the Commonwealth to sign a proclamation in support of immigrant advancement, held at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Dorchester, followed by a panel discussion on immigration policy.
A
So
it's
amazing
to
see
this
come
into
fruition.
I'm
so
excited
to
have
everyone
here
today
from
from
different
parts
and
different
sectors.
So
I
first
wanted
to
give
a
big
thank
you
and
introduce
the
Edward
M
Kennedy
Institute
and
bring
up
Christopher
Mosier
who's,
the
chief
development
officer
who's,
going
to
give
a
welcome
on
behalf
of
the
Institute.
We
couldn't
think
a
better
place
to
really
have
this
civic
engagement
and
have
this
conversation
and
Chris
and
I
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
a
little
bit
and
I
was
saying
that
I
was
looking
for.
A
My
I
have
a
picture
of
me
with
us
that
late
Senator
Kennedy
that
I
took
in
high
school
and
when
people
would
see
it
they'd
be
like
you
know,
I'm
going
to
date
myself,
but
they
were
like.
Oh
you
know
you
look
like
you're
standing
with
like
Joey
McIntyre
or
something
and
I'm
like
no.
No.
No.
This
is
the
senator.
A
This
is
so
much
better
and
so
he's
been
such
an
inspiration
in
my
own,
my
own
life
personally
professionally,
and
so
for
me
and
I
know
for
the
people
that
I
work
with
this
is
a
special
honor
to
be
able
to
hold
it
here.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
Chris
to
come
and
give
a
welcome
on
behalf
of
the
Institute.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
B
We
are
dedicated
to
educating
the
public
about
the
important
role
of
the
Senate
in
our
government,
encouraging
participatory
democracy,
invigorating
civil
discourse
and
inspiring
the
next
generation
of
citizens
and
leaders
to
engage
in
their
communities.
So,
with
this
in
mind,
it's
a
perfect
venue
for
today's
meeting
of
municipal
leaders
for.
B
Advancement,
so
we
are
very
honored
to
have
you
here
today,
representing
your
communities
and
coming
together
to
discuss
important
immigrant
communities
across
the
state.
You
know
when
Senator
Kennedy
envisioned
this
Institute.
He
wanted
it
to
be
of
the
Senate,
but
not
solely
above
the
Senate.
He
envisioned
it
a
place
where
students
and
visitors
could
come
and
learn
about
the
important
role
of
the
Senate
in
our
democracy,
but
also
inspire
them
to
become
active
citizens
within
their
community.
B
So
let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
Institute
I
promise
to
be
brief.
Visitors
can
come
here
and
negotiate
and
vote
in
this
chamber,
and
they
do
so
with
the
tablet
similar
to
an
iPad
that
helps
them
navigate
our
interactive,
exhibits
and
learn
about
the
history
of
the
Senate
and
the
legacy
of
senator
Kennedy,
who
served
the
Senate
for
47
years
and
also
engage
them
to
become
more
active
in
within
their
own
communities.
B
In
the
two
school
years
that
we've
been
open,
we've
hosted
nearly
34,000
students
from
more
than
300
schools
across
the
Commonwealth.
They
come
here
and
they
are
very
engaged
in
our
programs.
They
play
the
role
of
a
senator
for
the
day
they
take
on
the
role
of
legislators
and
they
learn
how
to
empathize
how
to
compromise,
how
to
find
common
ground
things
that
are
becoming
rare
commodities
in
today's
environment
and
how
to
work
with
people
who
think
differently
than
they
do.
B
In
the
years
ahead,
I
want
to
recognize
the
organizations
that
are
bringing
together
today's
discussion.
The
mayor's
office
for
immigrant
advancement
has
been
an
incredible
convenient
of
this
issue.
We
are
grateful
to
the
Metropolitan
Area
planning
council,
the
lawyers
Committee
for
civil
rights
and
economic
justice
and
Oxfam
America.
Thank
you
for
all
your
leadership
as
well,
and
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
come.
Columbia
point.
B
B
Inspired
he'll
be
informed,
you'll
be
motivated
and,
as
the
chief
development
officer
here
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
invite
you
all
to
consider
becoming
members
of
the
Institute
for
a
modest
contribution
of
47
dollars,
which
is
reflective
of
the
47
years
that
the
senator
served
in
the
Senate.
You
will
not
only
support
our
mission
and
the
programs,
but
you'll
have
the
satisfaction
of
doing
good
work
and
guess
what
you
also
have
free
admission
for
an
entire
year.
So
if
you
come
back
three
times,
you've
amortized
your
gift
down
to
zero.
B
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
would
like
to
again
extend
my
welcome
to
the
municipal
leaders
joining
us
today.
Mayors,
city
and
town
managers
and
administrators,
counselors
and
selectmen
I'd
also
like
to
welcome
our
partners
in
this
work.
Council,
OHS,
federal
and
state
government
partners,
and
advocates
and
allies
I'm,
going
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
day.
We're
going
to
have
mayor,
Walsh
come
and
give
a
few
remarks
and
then
we're
going
to
ask
our
mayor's
other
mayor's
selectmen
and
managers
to
come
and
sign
a
proclamation.
A
Everyone
should
have
received
a
copy
of
the
proclamation,
we're
not
going
to
read
through
the
whole
thing,
but
really
a
commitment
to
all
our
immigrant
communities
across
the
state.
And
then
we
were
going
to
have
a
panel
of
experts
who
will
be
led
by
Boston,
Globe's,
Marcela
Garcia,
and
then
we're
going
to
have
concurrent
breakout
sessions
and
I
will
come
up
before
that
and
say
where
those
are
going
to
be
and
then
we'll
have
a
boxed
lunch
and
then
gather
for
a
brief
report
back.
A
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
a
day
of
exchanging
ideas
and
making
connections
and
moving
forward
on
immigrant
advancement
across
the
state.
Well
operation
of
the
immigration
legal
system
is
part
of
the
federal
government's
role.
Cities
and
towns
can
play
a
large
role
in
the
advancement
of
immigrants,
the
people
who
come
to
live
as
our
neighbors
and
community
members.
A
We
can
make
them
feel
welcome
by
minimizing
whatever
barriers,
so
we
can
so
that
they
can
fully
integrate
into
our
communities
and
together,
we
can
collectively
raise
our
voices
to
speak
to
our
own
experiences
of
how
important
immigrant
communities
are
and
how
integral
they
are
to
our
cities
and
towns.
I'd
like
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
Mayor
Walsh,
oh
I'm,
going
to
ask
to
step
up
here
in
a
minute
for
for
your
leadership
and
your
commitment
to
immigrant
advancement.
A
You
have
also
signed
and
similar
to
the
mayor's
and
town
managers
that
we
have
here
taken
many
actions
to
support
immigrants
from
signing
into
law,
the
Boston
Trust
Act
in
2014,
the
communications
access
ordinance
in
2016,
launching
the
immigrant
integration
and
empowered
initiative
in
2014
and
establishing
immigrant
information
corners
in
all
of
our
city,
libraries
and
four
of
our
community
centers,
as
well
as
hosting
citizenship,
day
I,
also,
and
so
much
more
so
now.
I
want
to
I
also
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
who
have
helped
put
this
together.
D
Thank
You,
Alejandra
and
I'm
appreciate
all
the
nice
words
Alejandra
said,
but
I
have
to
say
this.
Our
office
of
immigrant
advancement
has
done
some
incredible
things
in
our
city.
Prior
to
the
last
year.
Our
office
was
about
advancing
immigrants,
rights
and
now
this
year
it
seems
like
we're
letting
immigrants
Dahl
their
rights
and
Alejandra,
and
the
team
are
dedicated
and
committed.
She
rattled
off
a
bunch
of
things.
We've
done,
but
really
it
starts
there.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
Andra
and
thank
your
entire
team
and
we're
going
to
answer
for
their
great
work.
D
I'd
like
to
out
welcome
all
of
you
for
being
in
this
incredible
building,
as
you
know,
sitting
in
not
in
the
actual
seats
of
the
United
States
Senate.
But
if
you
haven't
been
here
before,
you
should
come
back
here.
Do
a
tour
get
a
chance
to
be
interactive
in
this
chamber
with
some
of
the
great
votes
any
time
I
come
in
here,
I.
Try
to
see
what
the
other
side
does
so
I
come
in
as
a
Republican
for
Wisconsin
and
and
I
voted
the
Democrat
for
Massachusetts.
D
So
it
doesn't
work
that
way,
but
I
want
a
lot.
So
I
would
suggest
you
do
that.
I
know
I'm
not
supposed
to
do
this,
but
there's
a
couple
special
people
in
this
in
this
chamber
that
I
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
a
couple
of
mayor's
who
are
on
the
front
lines
that
are
here
so
I
want
to
thank
them.
I
see
Felix
Arroyo,
first
of
all,
Thank
You
Felix
for
being
here.

Thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
I
truly
appreciate
it
because
I
know,
as
we
said
earlier,
you're,
not
no
one
is
shining
away
from
what's
happening
today
in
the
cinah
state
in
this
country.
D
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
that
and
there's
some
other
mayor's
that
couldn't
be
with
us
today,
but
they
are
supportive
man,
city
manager,
Tommy
and
racino
from
Chelsea
mayor
Bob,
Dolan
from
Melrose
Mayor,
John
Mitchell
from
New
Bedford,
so
just
want
to.
Let
them
know
that.
There's
a
good
group
of
folks
here
this
this
building
and
this
this
institute
is
certainly
a
fitting
place
for
all
of
us
to
meet.
59
years
ago,
Senator
John
F
Kennedy
wrote
a
book
called
a
nation
of
immigrants.
D
People
didn't
talk
about
America
like
that
back
then
they
did.
Certainly
afterwards.
Just
11
years
ago,
senator
Ted
Kennedy
introduced
a
bill
for
immigration
reform.
Senator
Kennedy
went
to
rallies
around
this
country
to
talk
about
his
legislation.
He
said
we
stand
together
as
brothers
and
sisters
to
shape
America's
destiny,
old
Americans,
new
Americans,
future
Americans
all
joined
together
in
common
good.
The
Senate
passed
a
bill
with
a
bipartisan
majority
that
was
11
years
ago.
It
Republicans
and
Democrats
support
that
legislation,
but
the
house
didn't
follow
suit.
D
D
Still
we
wait
for
comprehensive
of
reform,
and
still
today
we
stand
in
our
communities
and
with
our
communities
all
join
together
for
common
good
in
our
workplaces
in
our
schools
in
every
city
in
town
every
single
day,
immigrants
are
a
part
of
our
family
and
a
part
of
our
community
without
their
hard
work
without
their
values
in
their
hope
for
the
future.
We
could
not
move
forward
in
strength.
That's
always
been
true
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
D
We
went
down
to
those
low
as
five
hundred
sixty-three
thousand
people
in
1982
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
today
that
growth
is
due
almost
entirely
the
immigrants
immigrants
built
us
back
up
again
and
we're
not
only
this
city,
our
country
of
origins
may
be
different,
but
our
foundations
make
up
as
as
a
people
has
not
changed.
We've
always
been
a
nation
of
immigrants
and
a
Commonwealth
of
immigrants
here
in
Massachusetts,
and
we
will
always
remain
so.
D
D
D
D
Those
immigrants
are
graduate
students,
small
business
owners,
doctors,
nurses,
engineers,
home
health,
aides,
construction
workers,
those
immigrants
are
woven
into
the
fabric
of
every
community
and
that
same
story
can
be
said
throughout
our
country.
I
just
got
back
from
Florida
yesterday
from
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors
in
Miami
two
days
ago.
Actually,
immigration
reform
is
on
the
mind
of
every
municipality
miserable
leader
across
the
country,
both
Democrats
and
Republicans.
D
It
doesn't
matter,
they're
party
of
the
ideology
fell
for
federal
policy
and
White
House
rhetoric
is
not
working
for
cities
and
towns.
Right
now,
all
across
America
I
put
forward
a
resolution
calling
the
from
the
federal
government
to
extend
temporary
protective
status
to
Haitians
living
in
the
United
States
of
America
for
additional
18
months.
It
passed
nearly
unanimously,
but
while
we
were
there,
the
Supreme
Court
ruled
on
the
White
House
travel
ban.
D
D
That
work
will
help
us
continue
to
move
us
forward.
We
start
with
a
simple
proclamation.
It
says
we
are
a
nation
of
immigrants,
immigrants
who
enrich
our
culture,
grow
our
economy
and
strengthen
our
communities.
It
says
we
strive
to
be
a
welcoming
community
for
all.
It
says
we
want
immigration
reform
and
we
want
the
current
laws
enforced,
inhumane
in
a
constitutional
manner.
It
says
that
municipalities,
municipal
leaders,
we
will
work
together
to
protect
all
of
our
residents,
so
every
child
feel
safe
in
their
classroom.
Every
family
feel
safe
in
their
home.
C
D
We
have
two
options,
one
is
we
can
run
in
hide
until
we
can
stand
out
and
I
know
the
option.
For
me,
I
know
the
option
for
Danny,
Rivera
I
know
the
option
for
Dede,
Simmons
I,
know
the
option
of
Gary
Christensen,
and
so
many
other
people
across
this
calm
office
to
stand
up
and
fight.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
I
hope
you
enjoyed
saying.
A
C
A
E
C
H
J
E
You
so
much
I
guess
we
can
just
begin
while
the
mayor
join
us,
but
you
know
Sam
I
wanted
to
begin
with.
You
I
wanted
to
help.
I
want
to
ask
you
if
you
could
set
the
stage
for
us
in
terms
of
the
national
context.
Yeah
give
us
a
national
context
what's
happening
at
the
federal
level.
That
is
forcing
us
to
act
at
the
local
level.
Pretty
much.
If
you
can
give
us
an
overview
of
that.
That
was
great.
Absolutely.
I
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
very
clear,
because
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
after
the
executive
order,
our
Congress
and
the
administration
department
of
justice
and
homeland
security
have
been
attempting
to
enact
policies
and
proposed
bill
six
proposed
bills.
That
in
essence
supports
the
president's
executive
order
and
there's
been
a
number
of
them,
but
most
of
them
try
to
codify
codify,
make
it
law
the
executive
order,
because
that
particular
executive
order.
My
client,
like
my
colleague
here,
is
going
to
talk
about
it.
I
One
of
the
court
has
put
a
stop
to
it
at
least
temporarily,
so
the
legislature
now
our
Congress
is
trying
to
do
something
about
it,
but
I
want
to
talk
particularly
about
the
bill
that
may
come
up
for
a
vote
today,
representatives
that
the
mayor,
actually
our
mayor,
Walt
talked
about
representative
booth
Lottie,
he
is
from
Virginia,
has
introduced
two
bills
and
both
of
these
bills,
particularly
one
called
no
sanctuary
for
criminals,
Act,
could
really
change
the
way
that
immigration
is
enforced
and
in
this
country.
So
the
very
first
thing
that
it
does.
I
It
prohibits
cities
like
Boston
from
enacting
policies
to
protect
their
their
communities,
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
being
done
here.
How
does
it
do
that
by
expanding
the
definition
of
what
is
currently
prohibited,
there's
a
particularly
that
they
hook
all
of
this
on
that
basically
says
that
states
and
cities
cannot
prohibit
their
staff
from
communicating
with
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security,
with
respect
to
a
person's
immigration
status
or
citizenship.
I
That's
it,
but
that
particular
provision
of
the
law
this
bill
would
expand
it
to
say
you
cannot
elect
anything
that
in
any
way
would
interfere
with
the
ability
of
the
federal
government,
the
Department
of
Homeland,
Security
and
enforcing
immigration,
that
that
is,
that
is
very,
very
significant.
In
my
opinion,
there's
a
lot
of
constitutional
issues.
I
I
happen
to
be
a
lawyer
by
training,
so
I
understand,
you
know
how
these,
how
these
things
work,
and
it
is
it's
a
very
big
problem,
and
let
me
tell
you
why
one
of
the
things
then
that
this
bill
was
to
is
required
for
cities
to
honor
detainers.
Does
everybody
know
what
a
detainer
is?
So
a
detainer
is
just
a
form
that
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
sends
to
police
officers,
or
you
know
in
the
Sheriff's
Department
and
says
this
particular
person.
I
We
want
you
to
hold
them
up
to
48
hours
after
they
have
been
their
eligible
for
release.
This
particular
bill
is
not
only
for
you
to
honor
those
of
those
detainers,
but
it
would
extend
the
48
hour
periods
to
96
hours.
The
federal
courts
have
said
that
there's
a
very
big
problem
with
with
cities
honoring
those
detainers
because
they
violate
the
Fourth
Amendment.
Why
it's
not
that
a
detainer
is
not
a
warrant
and
there's
been
no
determination
of
probable
cause,
so
very
big
problem
until
cities
have
been
sued
in
the
past.
I
Because
of
that,
but
this
bill
says:
oh,
don't
worry
about
it.
The
federal
government
will
foot
the
bill,
so
it
doesn't
take
care
of
the
constitutional
issue
and
now
we,
as
taxpayers,
are
going
to
be
responsible
right
for
paying
for
violations
of
people's
constitutional
rights.
Basically,
so
that's
you
know
in
essence.
That's
what's
happened.
It
violates
the
Tenth
Amendment,
because
federal
government
can't
force
cities
and
states
to
do
its
drop
like
I
started
saying
this
is
not
their
job
is
a
federal
government.
You
cannot
as
a
federal
government
to
do
that.
I
I
The
people
get
together
and
start
doing
exactly
what
we're
doing
right
here
in
Boston
right
now,
there's
600
jurisdictions
and
probably
growing
and
I'm,
going
to
close
by
just
giving
you
a
real
an
example
of
it.
I
read
about
yesterday
in
my
home
state
of
Texas,
by
the
way
which
has
affected
it's
own
executive
orders,
sort
of
like,
like
the
president
and
probably
even
worse,
and
there's
a
tiny
little
city
called
seneschal,
which
is
in
the
border
of
Texas
and
Mexico.
So
this
is
a
way
it's
described
as
a
young
mayor
who's.
I
Also,
a
graduate
student
3500
people
are,
in
this
two
churches,
two
convenience
stores
in
one
stop
line.
He
was
the
very
first
person
that
filed
a
lawsuit
against
the
state
of
Texas
3,500
people
got
together
and
said:
no.
This
is
not
going
to
happen
in
Texas.
He
can
lose
his
job.
There
can
be
all
sorts
of
penalties,
but
he
said
I'm
on
the
right
side
of
history
and
that's
exactly
what's
happening
here
today
and
I
appreciate
very
much
bit.
I
am
here.
I
came
from
Washington
DC
to
be
part
of
this,
a
really
important
discussion.
E
Was
really
powerful?
Thank
you.
So
your
organization
has
been
at
the
forefront,
leading
the
response
on
the
civil
rights
from
if
this
law
that
ESM
I
just
described,
gets
anywhere
near
being
enacted.
You
I
guarantee
that
you
would
be
among
the
first
one
suing,
but
tell
us
what
you've
been
doing.
What
your
organization
has
been
doing
since
January,
since
the
Muslim
ban
was
you
know
the
since
that
executive
order
was
enacted,
and
the
many
other
ones
give
us
an
overview
of
the
work
that
you
guys
have
been
doing.
H
So
so
I
really
appreciate
the
analogy
of
having
forcing
your
neighbor
to
mow
your
lawn
I.
Think
I'd
say
it's
a
very
effective
analogy
for
talking
about
the
type
of
separation
of
powers,
the
structure
that
the
Constitution
requires
and
that
our
American
government
is
built
on
right.
We
are
all
very
familiar
with
the
fact
that
you
know
there's
the
states
and
there's
the
federal
government
and,
and
they
have
separate
responsibilities,
separate
duty,
separate
roles.
The
role
of
the
federal
government
is,
you
know,
includes
the
arena
of
immigration
enforcement.
H
It
includes
the
whole
notion
of
how
the
immigration
system
goes
and,
and
one
thing
that
is
very
clear-
is
that
that's
something
that
exclusively
reserved
for
the
federal
government
and
not
for
the
state
right.
The
states
have
separate
duties
and
responsibilities
under
the
scheme
of
federalism
that
we
work
in
and
when
the
federal
government
turns
around
and
says
no,
we
will
require
you
to
honor
an
immigration
detainer
or
we
will
require
you
to
have
certain
policies
in
place
related
to
immigration.
H
Like
saying
that
police
officer
has
to
check
your
immigration
status
or
that
certain
city
services
cannot
be
provided
to
immigrants
based
under
immigration
status.
That
is
constitutional
overreach.
It
is
it's
incredibly
incredibly
damaging,
not
only
because
it's
illegal,
but
because
it
goes
against
the
principles
that
this
country
was
built
on
principles
of
inclusion,
principles
of
having
the
local
entities
being
able
to
pursue
their
own
priorities
and
satisfy
the
needs
of
its
constituencies.
H
If
a
city
like
Chelsea
or
like
Somerville
decides
that
it
has
a
deep
prioritized
immigration
provide
services
without
regard
to
immigration
status,
that
is
their
right
under
the
Constitution
and
under
our
system
of
government.
And
that's
why
the
lawyers
committee
immediately
after
the
sanctuary
cities,
executive
order
was
signed
on
January
25th.
We
started
working
very
closely
with
the
cities
of
Chelsea
and
the
city
of
Lawrence
to
challenge
the
constitutionality
of
the
executive
order,
and
we
went
from
from
the
signing
of
the
executive
order
to
filing
in
court.
H
In
about
ten
days,
I
mean
it
was
incredible
that
you
could
get
whiplash
it
was.
It
was
amazing
to
see
so
many
people
coming
together
to
say
we
are
going
to
protect
all
families
and
children
and
our
we're
going
to
stand
for
our
rights
and
we're
not
going
to
let
the
federal
government
tell
us
what
we
have
to
do.
You
know
the
federal
government
doesn't
know
what's
happening
in
the
street
in
Chelsea.
It
doesn't
know
what's
happening
to
families
in
Somerville
or
Lawrence.
H
H
These
immigrant
communities
have
rights
just
like
the
people
in
those
airports,
and
we
need
to
stand
with
them
and
I
think
the
most
fundamental
part
and
I'll
close
with
this
is
that
these
small
towns
towns,
like
Chelsea
towns,
like
Lawrence.
They
have
a
dog
in
this
fight.
This
is
not
just
for
the
San
Francisco's
of
the
world.
This
is
not
just
for
the
New
York's
of
the
world.
These
small
towns
are
where
many
immigrants
lived
over
600
sanctuary
communities
in
this
country,
and
you
know
not
all
of
them.
H
Look
like
San,
Francisco
or
New,
York
or
Boston,
and
so
to
to
threaten
a
small
community
like
Chelsea
like
Lawrence,
with
federal
defunding,
it's
incredibly
destabilizing,
it
would
mean
closing
schools,
it
would
mean
not
serving
lunch
or
breakfast
to
kids
in
schools.
That's
what
it
means,
and
so
it's
important
for
these
communities
to
step
forward
and
protect
their
rights
and
we're
really
glad
to
see
that
that
the
sanctuary
cities
executive
order
has
been
stopped
by
a
federal
judge.
And
it's
now
pending
appellate
review.
But
we're
going
to
continue
to
push
ok.
E
Now
cheese
guys,
can
you
I
mean
you've
been
working
in
the
childhood
community
for
all,
not
new,
the
trust
and
the
engagement
that
you
have
with
the
community
there?
It's
not
new
hasn't
it
didn't
happen
overnight,
and
you
tell
us
what
are
some
of
the
strategies
that
you
have
been
employing
there
to
engage
the
immigrant
community
Chelsea.
We
should
remind
everyone,
is
sixty
or
so
percent
Latino
correct,
yeah.
J
No
that's
correct.
So,
just
going
back
a
little
bit,
I
I
became
the
the
chief
in
Chelsea
in
the
summer
of
2007,
and
many
of
us
in
the
room,
certainly
remember
in
on
March
6th
of
2007.
There
was
the
raid
by
ice.
The
ero
folks
and
360
people
were
placed
in
custody
down
in
New
Bedford.
The
city
of
Chelsea
became
a
sanctuary
city
in
June
of
2007
as
a
result,
so
when
I
became
chief
at
that
time,
this
was
definitely
a
hot-button
issue
of
the
day.
J
Josiah
el
faro
is
here
from
the
Chelsea
collaborative
in
she
can
attest
to
the
relationship
that
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
has
with
our
community.
With
the
collaborative
I
mean
the
Chelsea
collaborative
is
one
of
our
biggest
voices.
Certainly
we
in
the
department
myself
and
in
ranking
superior
offices
and
in
Patrol
offices
we
go
out
into
the
community
we
meet
with
groups.
We
talk.
J
We
we
want
to
establish
that
level
of
trust
as
high
as
it
can
possibly
be,
but
honestly
people
like
jessenia
in
Gladys,
Vega
and
others
when,
when
our
residents
and
our
constituents
hear
from
them
that
they
can
trust
the
police
that
carries
so
much
weight.
So
you
know
I
can
sit
in
my
office
today,
a
walker
down
Bellingham
Square
in
the
city
and
think
that
we
in
the
police
department
is
doing
a
great
job
in
terms
of
the
level
of
trust.
J
But
that's
today
you
know
tomorrow's
another
day
we
have
to
keep
at
it
each
and
every
day.
I
certainly
agree
with
the
other
panelists
everything
that
they
mentioned
in
first
of
all,
this
particular
issue,
at
least
from
my
perspective,
is,
is
very
complicated.
There's
certainly
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
and
you
know
we
talked
about
trust,
act,
city,
sanctuary,
cities,
welcoming
cities,
even
you
know,
Chelsea
being
a
sanctuary
City
for
the
last
ten
years.
It
means
different
things
in
different
communities
and
in
one
of
the
very
basic
premises
of
sanctuary.
J
J
Different
ice
has
basically
what
they
call
two
sides
of
the
house:
they
have
a
criminal
side
and
a
civil
side.
So
when
the
criminal
side
works
with
the
Chelsea
police
or
the
Lawrence
police
or
the
Somerville
police,
they
have
someone.
That's
wanted
for
a
crime.
A
criminal
violation
of
the
law,
just
like
would
be
the
FBI
FBI,
the
ATF
of
the
DEA.
These
types
of
relationships,
law
enforcement
is
involved
in
a
lot.
The
civil
side,
which
is
based
out
of
Burlington
Massachusetts,
is
known
as
the
enforcement
and
removal
operations.
J
Folks
that's
different,
and
these
are
individuals
that
come
into
the
city.
In
many
cities
in
the
Commonwealth
many
many
diverse
cities
there's
a
national
protocol.
They
notify
the
department
they
notify,
where
they're
actually
going.
What
particular
address
who
the
target
is
but
I,
don't
know
if
Chelsea
is
unique.
I
think
perhaps
was
somewhat
unique
in
that.
J
If
ice
was
to
come
into
the
city
today-
and
they
were
just
in
the
city
yesterday
and
they're
looking
for
an
individual
and
they
tell
us
to
go
into
an
address-
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
is
not
part
of
that
investigation,
and
you
know
some
of
my
friends
in
law
enforcement
say
well,
you
know
what
do
you
mean?
You
know
you're,
not
you're
not
going
to
go
and
the
answer
is
we're
not
going
to
go,
and
you
know
we're
not
turning
our
backs
on
fellow
law
enforcement
agents,
agents
who
may
need
help.
J
There
may
be
an
opposite
safety
situation.
If
there
is,
we
get
notified,
certainly
will
come
running,
but
I
think
that
you
know
for
me
to
sit
here
on
this
panel
this
morning
in
in
in
a
uniform,
representing
our
department
and
just
kind
of
envision
that
if,
if
we
get
a
call
this
morning,
did
someone
has
overstayed
a
visa?
J
Somebody
has
crossed
the
border.
Whatever
the
case
may
be,
a
nice
ero
is
looking
to
take
this
person
into
custody
and
I
go
along
for
the
ride,
so
to
speak.
I
stand
on
the
sidewalk
out
front,
while
ice
agents,
and
they
they
do
come
in
for
us.
They
come
with.
You
know
eight
to
ten
to
twelve
agents
and
I
stand
there
with
a
my
uniform,
perhaps
with
the
marked
police
unit
and
icicles
in,
and
they
take
an
individual
or
I
mean
oftentimes
even
even
worse.
They
is
a
collateral
arrest.
J
Someone
who's,
not
even
the
target
of
this.
Of
this,
this
execution
of
this
arrest,
but
someone
who's,
a
relative
or
a
family
friend
and
all
people,
remember-
is
Brian.
Kai's
was
standing
on
the
sidewalk
he's
a
Chelsea
police
officer,
I
think
because
he
had
a
uniform
on
that
said:
Chelsea
police,
he
had
a
badge.
J
The
cruiser
I
read
the
side
of
it.
I
saw
it
said
Chelsea
police,
and
that
sends
the
message
that
the
erroneous
message
that
the
Chelsea
Police
are
enforcing
civil
immigration
law
and
I
started
out
this.
You
know
this
conversation
by
using
the
word
trust.
The
trust
that
we've
established
that
I
think
is
at
an
optimal
level,
will
just
go
right
down
to
the
to
the
bottom.
Just
like
that
I
mean
word
will
spread
like
wildfire,
especially
with
social
media.
So
we
do
not.
We
are
not
a
part
of
that
operation
at
all.
J
Okay,
Sonia
knows
this,
that
you
know
just
Sonya
in
the
Chelsea
collaborative
they
have
many
many
many
constituents
and
when
we,
when
there's
an
operation
that
takes
place
locally
in
terms
of
hope
of
best
practice,
we
have
all
the
information
on
who
was
taken
into
custody
I'll,
put
together
a
communication.
Honestly,
usually
it's
just
as
simple
as
a
text
message
that
I'm
sending
to
my
boss
to
the
city
councillors
and
to
other
advocacy
leaders
in
the
city,
so
social
media
doesn't
take
any
traction
and
this
it
spreads
like
wildfire
that
Isis
in
the
city.
J
There's
a
raid
is
a
roundup
20,
30
40
a
hundred
people
were
placed
in
custody
I,
give
the
information
exactly
how
it
is
so
by
the
time
they
wake
up.
Oftentimes
I
mean
Isis
in
the
city
very
very
early
in
the
morning,
and
they
clear
about
6:30
in
the
morning
that
individuals
wake
up.
They
look
at
the
attacks
and
when
they
get
calls
and
just
Sonya,
you
know
you
get
calls.
She
has
the
correct
information
to
set
the
record
straight.
E
G
Thank
you
good
morning
on
the
B
pod
such
a
distinguished
panel
and
among
so
many
people
doing
important
work.
I
want
to
touch
on
that,
but
I
do
want
to
you
know
it's
such
an
intent
and
when
they
say
it's
an
important
time
to
exclaim
what
we
believe
in
what
we're
fighting
for,
because
silence
is
acquiescence
on
this
issue.
G
When
I
hear
it
be
honestly,
some
of
my
colleagues
and
government
here,
we
follow
this
organization
to
who
will
say,
but
do
we
really
need
to
say
anything
or
we're
following
the
policy
yeah,
you
do
need
to
say
something
because
every
time
sessions
or
AG
sessions
or
the
president
says
something
or
this
heinous.
The
piece
of
legislation
called
a
no
sanctuary
for
criminals
legislations
trying
to
pass
the
house.
You
know
what
we
find
I'm
sure
you
find
the
yuck
use,
our
kids
don't
go
to
school.
People
don't
go
to
work.
G
Families
are
not
seeking
preventive
health
services,
so
we
need
to
stand
up
and
be
loudly
vocal.
Every
chance
we
can
and
not
just
to
react
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
Somerville.
In
terms
of
our
engagement
in
to
empower
everyone
to
communities,
let
them
know
one
well,
some
of
us,
their
community
I'm
their
mayor
that
we
serve
them.
The
police
are
there
to
protect
them.
G
So
we
do
a
few
different
things
and
I'll
give
you
some
examples,
whether
it's
a
liaison
program
to
the
schools
or
are
some
aviva
program,
a
laser
program
to
the
city
where
we're
actually
except
we
do
translation
and
work
with
people.
The
facilitate
means
were
out
in
the
community
bringing
information
and
engagement
right
to
them
in
their
churches,
in
the
supermarket
on
the
streets.
G
We
had
found
a
few
couple
years
ago
that
only
98
percent,
notwithstanding
all
the
great
efforts
around
communication
and
social
media,
that
we
do
only
1990,
almost
98
percent
of
communication
was
not
reaching
the
foreign-born
population
which,
over
a
third
in
the
city
of
Somerville
and
about
16
languages
spoken
in
our
neighborhoods
and
our
schools.
We
meet
continuously
law
enforcement
city
officials
with
different
immigrant
provider
groups.
G
We
create
we've
established
a
continuum
of
consulate,
services
use
that
legalized
in
City
Hall,
so
again
in
prompt
people
with
the
belief
that
this
is
their
City
and
their
commandeering
and
they're
empowered
to
vision
its
future,
so
we're
trying
to
earn
that
trust
and
that
credibility
with
the
people
we
serve.
We've
been
a
sanctuary
city.
G
Since
1987
we
were
at
the
forefront
activists
we're
at
the
forefront
law
enforcement
was
at
the
forefront
from
what
we
saw
during
the
great
wave
of
undocumented
immigration
as
a
consequence
of
the
civil
war
in
Central
America,
which,
interestingly,
was
exacerbated
by
our
country's
foreign
policy
law
enforcement
in
the
Catholic
Church.
We're
saying
that
we
need
to
embrace
people,
we
need
to
give
them
a
feeling
of
solace
and
safety
and
on
communities,
and
we
found
that
it's
not
the
only
reason
but
crime
since
1987
is
almost
now
52
0.9%.
G
That's
not
the
only
reason
it's
a
big
part
of
it
and
in
you
know,
we
built
taken
a
lot
of
pink
done,
a
lot
of
things.
They
can
work
to
earn
trust
with
people
to
gain
credibility,
but
again,
every
time
a
is
the
rhetoric.
The
negative
rhetoric
got
to
Washington
or
what
is
happening
across
this
country.
I
want
to
talk
about
that
in
a
second.
It
is
exclaimed.
G
You
know
we
see
that
by
people
backing
into
the
shadows
again
looking
over
their
shoulders
thinking
twice
whether
to
go
to
a
community
event
but
their
schools,
and
that
that
is
very
frightening.
We're
proud
of
who
we
are
we're
not
going
to
run
away
well,
as
maybe
a
sanctuary
city
and
we're
not
going
to
be
buckled
down
by
any
threat
or
sort
of
Damocles
hanging
over
our
head
by
money
by
the
federal
government.
G
So
you
know
our
work
is
not
just
programs
put
in
place
but
being
out
in
the
street
myself
leaders,
law
enforcement
activists
one-on-one
with
families,
helping
out
everything
every
chance
to
get
and
reinforcing
the
message
that
this
is
one
community
and
it's
part
of
the
one
Somerville
movement
and
then
one
Somerville
w-w-w
organ.
But
you
look
at
that
because
that
should
be
the
one
community
movement
around
the
country.
E
Chiefs
case
I
wanted
to
ask
you
something
you
said,
and
you
also
touched
on
it
a
little
bit
mayor
for
the
tone.
There
are
many
other
Chiefs
of
Police,
so
shares
officials,
other
law
enforcement
agencies
that
don't
feel
the
way
that
you
do
other
mayors
that
have
a
different
take
on
this,
a
different
approach.
Do
you
try
to
advocate
for
this
and,
if
so
with
them,
you
try
to
convince
them
that
you
try
to
talk
to
them
into
the
benefit
of
being.
E
J
So
it's
a
great
question
so
going
back
as
I
mentioned
in
2007.
One
of
the
first
things
I
did
is
chief,
is
that
we
didn't
have
a
policy
on
how
to
direct
our
offices,
how
to
basically
go
out
into
the
field
that
in
in
when
ice
comes
into
the
city.
How
does
this
whole
scenario
work?
So
one
of
the
first
things
I
did
was
interesting
as
I
put
a
policy
together,
reduce
it
to
writing.
In
2007,
the
policy
was
modified
in
May
of
2012.
J
It's
just
you
know
every
couple
years,
it's
modified
what
I
do
with
our
policy
in
see
Fred
Ryan
here
today
from
Arlington
the
vice
president
of
the
major
city,
police
chiefs,
Association
Fred
and
I
and
others
through
the
major
city
chiefs.
We
have
this
particular
policy
and
others
I
know:
I
salem
had
a
nice
policy.
We
sent
our
policy
out
to
other
police
chiefs,
then
to
the
mass
Chiefs
Police
Association.
J
So
it's
funny
that
I
go
around
to
different
venues
and
and
Fred
night
do
a
lot
of
work
together
and
this
policies
that
a
particular
department
and
I'll
give
one
example.
Fred
and
I
went
Lowell
the
other
day
and
the
Lowell
police
department
presented
a
policy
to
us
district.
Just
came
up
on
this
issue
and
I
started
reading
it
and
I'm
reading
word-for-word
the
policy
that
originated
in
Chelsea,
which
is
a
great
thing,
the
same
with
Cambridge
and
other
places.
So
we
try
to.
J
We
try
to
preach
the
message
that
this
is
the
way
to
go,
but
you
brought
up.
One
point
that
I
think
is
interesting.
Did
is
a
little
bit
of
confusion
to
that
in
terms
of
law
enforcement,
there's
police
officers
that
work
out
in
the
street
there's
police
officers
that
engage
the
community
out
in
the
street.
There's
police
officers
that
need
the
trust
of
the
people
out
in
the
street.
J
That's
a
little
bit
different
than
somebody
who
is
a
sheriff
or
a
deputy
sheriff
who
works
inside
the
four
walls
of
a
building,
whether
it
be
a
jail
or
also
correction.
So
one
of
the
issues
that
may
or
may
not
come
up
today
is
the
issue
of
a
287g
agreement,
and
this
is
where
you
know
again.
You
ask
the
questions
like
what
do
we
say
to
other
chiefs.
This
is
one
of
the
primary
examples
when
we
use
the
word
trust
and
there's
some
people
that
are
sheriffs.
J
J
C
G
G
C
G
Be
wrong
for
us
to
just
dismiss
them
as
being
racist
or
bigoted
a
very
bad
mistake.
A
lot
of
it
is
so
much
base.
There's
so
much
of
misinformation
on
ourselves
with
facts
and
information
is
critical
here
and
at
some
point
of
tonight,
Ln
with
the
value
of
conversation
we
have.
We
talk
about
values
right
the
importance
of
what
we're
doing
in
the
important
the
role
immigrants
play
in
our
economy,
our
quality
of
life
and
the
very
foundation
by
democracy
in
this
country.
G
But
what
we
hear
often
from
people
as
well
I
I,
just
want
to
keep
my
community
safe.
So
we
still
on
immigrants
and
crime
is
down
and
communities
or
you
know
we
just
want
people
to
follow
a
process.
You
know
they
should
follow
a
process
to
get
one
like
my
mother
on
my
own,
my
uncle,
but
by
the
way
my
uncle
I
don't
think,
follow
the
process
he
jumped
off
a
vessel
somewhere
I'll
guarantee
you
that,
but
follow
a
process
like
it
was
skinned
in
a
line
to
become
fully
documented.
G
Well,
there
is
no
line
to
stand
in
and
you
know,
and
then,
when
we
have
that
conversation
and
we
but
and
we
but
risk
that
with
the
fact
that
immigrants
love
this
country
as
much
as
you
and
I,
whether
you're
born
here
or
not,
and
that's
that's
the
change
the
conversation,
but
when
we
arm
ourselves
of
facts
and
information
it
starts
to
neutralize.
But
it
starts
also
at
listening.
G
Even
when
someone's
seen
the
most
ridiculous
thing,
the
most
misinformed
argument
listening
and
then
arming
ourselves,
information
that
starts
to
turn
that
argument
with
law
enforcement,
as
my
chief
chief
Dave
Allen,
does
where
this
colleagues
here
today
as
I,
do
with
my
fellow
mayors
and
municipal
leaders
about
the
importance
of
why
to
be
very
vocal
about
this
and
that's
something
we
should
take
away
from
what
we
do
here
today.
You.
I
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
so
one
of
the
things
that
the
administration
and
the
strategy
has
been
to
sort
of
support?
These
very
draconian
policies
is
to
link
crime,
tailor
to
immigrants
and
immigration
and
there's
you
know
completely
false,
as
as,
as
you
said,
this
is
study
out
by
a
professor
at
the
University
of
California
in
San
Diego.
They
did
a
study
about
counties
that
are
sanctuary
jurisdictions
and
what
he
found
was
crime
was
lower
wages,
were
higher,
cities
grew
more,
they
were
more
productive.
I
You
know
City,
so
every
single
thing
that
that
is
out
there
that
you
know
perpetuated
about.
You
know
immigrants
and
sanctuary
cities
with
basically
proof.
You
know
wrong
by
this
particular
study.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
in
this
bill
spending
today,
what
the
federal
government
is
saying
is:
if
sanctuary
cities
don't
honor
every
single
thing.
We
ask
you
to
do
presumably,
including
287g
right,
because
you
know
that
would
be
one
of
the
things
that
they
may
want
to
put
forward.
I
I
These
are
really
important
grants
rights
if
the
federal
government
does
so
that
people
can
let
immigrants
like
everybody,
so
there's
a
relationship
with
that,
but
the
other
thing
is
going
to
say
and
if
you
continue
to
do
what
you're
doing
guess
what,
if
you
have
a
warrant
out
for
a
particular
person
right,
it
should
be
detained,
it's
undocumented,
but
it's
a
serious
crime,
we're
not
going
to
honor
your
warrant.
So
this
is.
This
is
just
whether
passes
or
not.
I
think.
I
E
I,
give
you
an
opportunity
to
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knew
what
a
287g
is,
and
it
is
basically
an
agreement
between
the
federal
government
and
a
jurisdiction,
be
it
a
sheriff's
office,
a
police
department
or
any
other
state
law
enforcement
agency
that
in
which
the
federal
government
deputizes
the
local
law
enforcement
agencies
as
immigration,
enforcement
or
immigration
agents,
and
it
costs
money
in
Massachusetts,
I
believe
only
two
or
three.
E
It's
two
sheriff's
office
offices,
I
think
it's
just
sheriff
Hudson,
of
course,
and
what
is
another
I
think
it's
Plymouth,
but
no
other
no
police
department
has
I
mean
I,
guess
we
are
lucky.
In
that
sense
there
are
jurisdictions
that
or
the
states
that
have
many
more,
but
that's
a
little
bit
scary.
That's!
What's
coming
up
so
Yvonne!
You
wanted
to
comment
yeah.
H
No,
that's
a
great
point
about
the
287g.
You
know
Framingham
had
one
of
those
where
they
got
their
folks
deputized
and
they
realized
that
that
it
destroyed
the
trust
that
the
chief
was
talking
about
right
if
you're
one,
and
it's
really
about
humanizing
this
issue
in
some
ways
and
I-
think
about
it
personally
right
if
I'm
walking
down
the
street
and
I
get
attacked
right
and
the
only
witness
to
that
crime
is
an
undocumented
immigrant,
and
the
immigrant
saw
the
chief
at
the
raid
or
in
some
immigration
detention
activity.
H
Do
you
think
that
that
immigrant
is
going
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
dial
nine-one-one
and
say
they
just
beat
up
some
guy
here
in
the
street?
He's
in
the
corner
or
I
just
saw
this
car
accident
happen.
It
was
a
hit-and-run,
and
this
is
the
plate
number
right
like
just
that
interaction
places,
somebody
at
risk.
It
brings
them
within
the
specter
of
immigration
enforcement.
It
makes
no
sense
to
me
why
a
community
would
not
want
everybody
in
that
town
to
be
comfortable,
dialing
911.
What?
H
You
know,
even
if
you
don't
care
about
the
well-being
of
undocumented
immigrants,
I
would
hope
that
at
least
you
care
about
your
own
well-being
and
giving
people
the
power
to
call
9-1-1
so
I
think
that's
really
important,
and
so
I
wanted
to
underscore
that
point
that
the
chief
was
making,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
the
type
of
287g
deputizing
that
we're
talking
about
here
or
any
type
of
enforcement
activity.
If
a
city
decides
to
collaborate
with
immigration,
there
is
no
reimbursement
for
that
money.
H
That
is
your
tax
dollars,
your
local
tax
dollars
being
used
for
federal
immigration
functions.
So
let's
be
very
clear
here
that
the
town
does
not
receive
a
cent
for
this
enforcement.
So
if
you
think
your
taxes
are
already
high,
if
you
think
you're
paying
too
much
in
property
taxes
that
your
kid
doesn't
even
have
the
facilities
that
they
need
at
school,
we'll
then
just
add
immigration
enforcement
to
your
tax
bill
because
that's
exactly
what's
happening,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
it's
not
just
this
public
safety
issue.
It's
also
a
fiscal
issue.
H
It's
an
issue
of
just
being
fiscally
sound
and
responsible
as
local
jurisdictions,
towns
and
counties.
You
know
we
don't
need
to
subsidize
the
federal
government
for
its
work.
Let
federal
tax
dollars
take
care
of
that
and
the
third
thing
is
and,
and
I
will
give
a
little
bit
of
pushback
here
to
what
the
mayor
very
respectfully
mayor,
what
you
said:
I
I'm,
sorry,
but
I-
do
think
that
there
is
a
racist
aspect
to
this.
Well.
G
That
was
well.
That
was
not
let
me
say
it
now
and
you've
heard
me
say:
there's
no
pushback
I'm
a
because
I
agree
with
that.
I've
said
all
about
before
you
need
to
put
immigration
in
context
and
I
have
to
jump
in
here.
This
conversation
in
the
context
of
this
when
you're
talking
about
building
a
wall
spending
billions
and
dollars,
will
have
no
impact.
G
When
you
have
a
Muslim
ban,
which
everyone,
every
expert
says
that
make
us
less
safe
and
when
you
feel
to
recognize
the
facts
like
the
role
the
immigrants
played,
I'm
document
immigrants,
immigrants
play
and
holding
up
national
economy
in
Social
Security
system,
and
you
ask
well
when
policy
and
I
agree.
It's
pushed
forth
not
based
on
logic
and
reasoning.
What's
driving
it
and
I
will
say
it
is
an
ugly
undercurrent
and
it
is
based
on
race
and
white
nationalism.
Absolutely.
G
And
it
has
to
be
said,
my
only
point
is
it's
not
always
the
person,
the
other
side,
isn't
a
racist,
a
white
nationalist
I've
had
family
members
or
sons
or
immigrants
themselves
and
I've
turned
people
in
a
conversation
based
on
facts.
Saying
well,
and
my
mother
has
my
mother
said
the
people.
Why
should
people
have
it
as
difficult
as
we
had
it
or
the
fact
that
don't
you
realize
that
immigrants
play
this
important
role
on
economy
when
they
say
people
are
taken
away
from
us
or
the?
In
fact
that
summable
is
safer.
G
So
my
point
is
to
have
empathy
ii,
and
this
is
about
leadership.
Leadership
is
about
all
of
us,
have
an
empathy
in
to
hear
the
most
obvious
thing
and
I'm
ourselves,
an
information,
in
fact,
but
make
no
mistake.
There
is
out
of
Washington.
There
is
this
undercurrent
that
is
based
on
race
and
white
nationalism,
I.
H
Fully
agree
and
I
think
we
need
to.
We
need
to
voice
that,
because
if
we
don't
voice
that
I
think
that
we're
doing
a
disservice,
you
know
in
Massachusetts
progressive
Massachusetts.
We
are
the
fourth
state
in
the
country,
the
highest.
Fourth
in
hate
crimes.
Right
now,
only
three
other
states
have
registered
more
hate
crimes
in
Massachusetts
since
the
election.
H
And
so
we
need
to
be
very
careful
about
what
we
opened
the
door
to
you
signed
on
to
a
287g
agreement
like
Sharon
Hodgson
in
in
Bristol
County,
and
that
opens
the
door
to
tremendous
liability
for
everything
from
targeting
Latinos
or
enforcement
activities,
treating
Latinos
differently
using
those
tools
against
communities
of
color
and
immigrant
community.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
ignore
the
fact
that
and
I
agree
mayor
that
there
are
many.
Many
people
who
might
not
have
the
facts.
H
But
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
keeping
in
mind
that
there
are
bad
actors
out
there.
People
who
say
that
they
want
to
send
their
inmates
to
build
a
wall
and
that
those
people
can
use
these
tools
or
evil.
And
we
need
to
be
very
clear
about
that.
And
that's
why
organizations
like
the
lawyers
committee
are
pushing
back
and
we
sued
sheriff
Hodgson
because
we
refuse
to
live
in
a
world
where
racial
profiling
and
discrimination
runs
rampant.
