Keep I.C.E. out of Longview, Washington
The Issue
As a resident of Longview, ICE is NOT helping our communities, but rather creating an environment of fear and racial profiling. ICE does not protect our local community, and we worry that our neighbors, Friends, and family will not be seen again.
We must fight back against ICE starting here at the local level, where our city officials and government can pass more sanctuary ordinances and policies to prevent ICE from causing more harm.
The mission for this petition is to fight against ICE. One way to do this is to have ICE-free zones here in Longview, Washington, and this can operate in two models:
1) Specified categories of city-owned or -controlled property.
2) Any city-owned or -controlled property absent explicit authorization.
Another way to fight against ICE is to pass more policies. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center states the local policies used throughout cities throughout the country, such as:
1) General prohibitions on assistance or resources used for immigration enforcement
2)Require law enforcement to document details of their encounters with the public, including when and why they ask for someone’s immigration status. In addition, law enforcement should document any time they assist federal immigration agents, as well as the race and other traits of people stopped, arrested, or added to gang databases.
3) Provide protection of records or information collected by the local government involving any personal or sensitive information, including information related to immigration status or criminal case status.
4) Prevent ICE agents’ access to detainees in local custody, including access to jail databases or maintaining desks or offices of their own within the local jail.
5) Require that before ICE is permitted to interrogate anyone in local custody, the person is given a written consent form that allows them to agree to or decline the interview with ICE.
These are examples of what our local government can do to fight ICE, and they are not limited to these examples. I encourage the local government to implement the policies stated in the Immigrant Legal Resource Center article “LOCAL POLICY INTERVENTIONS FOR PROTECTING IMMIGRANTS”.
As a community, we must push for this, as ICE will not improve our community and will keep the cycle of fear and hate to continue. We must tell and push the local government to push the fight against ICE. We prompt our local government to enact sanctuary city ordinances and policies to protect immigrants in our community.
By signing this petition, you aid in the process of aiding your community to protect immigrants and ICE from harassing and creating conflict and fear for me, you, and everyone in Longview, Washington.
