💫Part III of Press Conference at Bucks County Courthouse on Wednesday, January 14th:
“Families feared calling 911...or any collaboration with local law enforcement...”

🧊This was the effect of 287g and the fear, confusion, and division it created.
Now that Bucks County Sheriff Danny Ceisler has withdrawn his office from a collaboration agreement [287g] with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, our communities can work together to be safer and more inclusive.

🧏🏽‍♀️Listen to WPPA’s Director of Immigrant Justice in this continuation of the presser.
At The Welcome Project PA, we are committed to this work of safety and inclusion in Bucks County and beyond. PLEASE, consider supporting our Immigrant Justice program here: https://welcomeprojectpa.org/donate/ or click the link 🔗 in our bio
