One more day without #SB4 and its inherent discrimination is worth celebrating.

Our fight continues to ensure this anti-immigrant and unconstitutional law is struck down for good.

BREAKING: An El Paso judge said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton “ran roughshod” over Annunciation House and said his records request may have been a “predetermined” effort to close one of the border’s largest providers of migrant services. elpasomatters.org/2024/03/11/el-…

Our team is standing in solidarity with Annunciation House today, and everyday.

Groups like Annunciation House provide critical support to the most vulnerable in our comunidades.

Senate Bill 1231 and House Bills 2821 and 2748, packaged as and referred to as “The Arizona Invasion Act” would classify crossing the border between ports of entry as a state crime and allow local judges to adjudicate immigration cases. 🧵

For over 46 years, Annunciation House has shown how welcoming #migrants & #asylumseekers is possible.

We condemn this heinous assault by the TX Attorney General and stand in solidarity with the staff, volunteers, guests and community of Annunciation House.

President Biden must take action!

Gracias por su apoyo!
