SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblymember Avelino Valencia (D-Anaheim) issued the following statement:
“The Supreme Court has sent a clear message to our families and neighbors that discrimination is acceptable at the highest level of our justice system. By clearing the way for these raids, immigration enforcement agents can target people for how they look, the language they speak, or the jobs they do. Families are being torn apart, communities like mine live in fear, and the promise of equal protection under the law has been broken. Our nation was built on the idea of freedom and justice for all, not fear, not discrimination, and not cruelty.’’
