We need Congress to agree on a budget that protects communities instead of terrorizing them. We need real priorities: care over detention and deportation. Our tax dollars should fund care, not cages and state violence.

She's cared for America's elderly for decades. Trump wants her gone by Sept. 8 The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.

"Not all immigrants are criminals… We are hardworking people earning an honest living."

The criminalization of immigrants is impacting our communities, and the care workforce. We need care, not criminalization! #CareCantWait #SanctuaryHomes
