I’m at Commissioners Court today listening to dozens of Harris County residents share their thoughts on the decisions that will be made today.

It’s great to see so many people engage with government in this way. I wish more people knew that they can do this (and more) to make their voices heard. 🧵

These raids destabilize workplaces, disrupt operations, and instill fear among entire teams, documented and undocumented alike.
