Last night, I testified before the Salem City Council in support of a declaration that decries the unconstitutional actions of federal agents in the city.

Part of what I stated was that “clearly, we want safe, strong, and thriving communities, and that involves standing for the rule of law and holding all parties accountable. Certainly, we need immigration reform – something the party in power in Washington has prevented from happening. Our communities are stronger when filled with hard-working people who care about building those communities together.”

Our Constitution guarantees certain rights to all who are within our borders, including the right to due process, the right to assemble peacefully, and the right to free speech. The Council passed the declaration on a 6-3 vote.

Anoche, testifiqué ante el Consejo Municipal de Salem en apoyo a una declaración que condena las acciones inconstitucionales de los agentes federales en la ciudad.

Parte de lo que dije fue que "claramente, queremos comunidades seguras, fuertes y prósperas, y eso implica defender el estado de derecho y hacer que todas las partes rindan cuentas. Sin duda, necesitamos una reforma migratoria, algo que el partido en el poder en Washington ha impedido que suceda. Nuestras comunidades son más fuertes cuando están llenas de personas trabajadoras que se preocupan por construir esas comunidades juntas."

Nuestra Constitución garantiza ciertos derechos a todos los que se encuentran dentro de nuestras fronteras, incluido el derecho al debido proceso, el derecho a reunirse pacíficamente y el derecho a la libertad de expresión. El Consejo aprobó la declaración por 6 votos a favor y 3 en contra.
