#VISIONact
is still bypassing local protections to hand people over to ICE the second they finish their sentences. If California truly wants to end 'dual-sentencing,' why is the state itself still acting as ICE's primary recruiter? 🏛️🚩 #VISIONAct #EndTransfers

One study found that when jails transfer people to immigration detention, the number of immigrants reporting fair or poor health increased by 11%. Senator @Portantino, vote for health on Monday: pass the #VISIONAct #AB937!

Our research shows that direct transfers harm health, intensify existing trauma, & separate families. Sen. @Portantino, please pass the #VISIONAct #AB937 so that ALL immigrant families and communities can remain healthy & whole. #StopICEtransfers

We are calling on CA legislators, including @drarambulaAD31, to pass the #VISIONAct in order to protect public health, keep families and communities together, & end the cycle of trauma for refugees & immigrants. A vote for the #VISIONAct is a vote for health.

#COVID19 has made it more clear than ever that we’re only as healthy as the most vulnerable members of our communities, including ppl in jails, prisons, & immigration detention. The #VISIONAct (AB 937 - @AsmCarrillo) will keep our communities safe and healthy. #StopICEtransfers
December 23, 2024 at 11:37 PM
Prisons, jails, & ICE detention centers are notoriously toxic. Voluntarily transferring ppl from jail/prison to ICE worsens their health by lengthening their time behind bars. We need the #VISIONact to #StopICEtransfers! Read our research:
