As residents and affiliates of the 老澳门开奖结果 in those governors\u2019 states, we are compelled to speak out against this misguided and cruel escalation.\r\n\r\n<b>Our first message is simple: Not in our name.<\/b> While the governors of our respective states throw their support behind Gov. Abbott and his extreme and hateful policies, we know that this is not what our communities stand for. \r\n\r\nThe 老澳门开奖结果 of Texas has been sounding the alarm about Operation Lone Star since its creation. This multi-billion dollar, anti-immigrant program has resulted in deadly vehicular pursuits, racial profiling and unlawful arrests, and severe injuries to people seeking protection. Under Gov. Abbott\u2019s watch, the state has seized private land and even taken over public parks, excluding residents from their own community areas.\r\n\r\nOur governors are embracing Gov. Abbott\u2019s xenophobic rhetoric and putting communities of color and immigrants in danger instead of working to improve quality of life in our states. This is not standing up for our communities; it is standing against them.\r\n\r\n<b>Cruelty is not a policy solution, nor is it leadership.<\/b> In their words and actions, the governors of our states seek to score political points by sowing death and suffering at the border.\r\n\r\nOn January 12, a woman and two children from Mexico drowned in the river near Eagle Pass, Texas. Their names were Victerma de la Sancha Cerros, 33; Yorlei Rubi, 10; and Jonathan Agust\u00edn Briones de la Sancha, 8. Last summer, we saw how officers working with Operation Lone Star put razor wire-wrapped buoys in the river resulting in awful injuries. Officials were also reportedly ordered to push small children back into the Rio Grande and deny water to people seeking asylum in record-breaking temperatures. \r\n\r\nNone of these horrific abuses can ever be justified, and none of them stopped people from seeking safety in the U.S. We are appalled that our governors would support this type of violence against people seeking protection in the name of the \u201crule of law.\u201d Instead our governors should work together with communities and the federal government to invest in better solutions for the states receiving migrants and improve our immigration system.\r\n\r\n<b>The \u201ccrisis\u201d here is a political one.<\/b> The federal government has experimented with every possible cruel policy to stop people seeking asylum from coming to the U.S. \u2014 from Title 42, to family detention, to family separation. These policies have never stopped people from coming to the U.S. \u2014 instead they created incredible harm, devastating families and leaving vulnerable people exposed to rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping while preventing them from accessing our asylum system. If we are serious about solving the challenges at the border, we need to improve border processing and invest in our asylum and immigration court systems \u2014 not push people seeking asylum to take increasingly dangerous routes to safety. Our governors should be pushing for solutions that would make our communities stronger, like funding for receiving communities, more lawful pathways, better port processing, and expanded work authorization.\r\n\r\nEvery state in the U.S. is not, as these governors claim, a \u201cborder state.\u201d But every state is an American state, and as such we have a responsibility to treat our neighbors with dignity and respect, in keeping with our laws and morals.\r\n\r\nWe reject Gov. Abbott and his enablers\u2019 actions at the border in the severest possible terms. Immigrants make our country stronger. Cruelty at the border is a sign of our failure to live up to our own values.\r\n\r\nSigned,\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Alabama\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Alaska\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Arkansas\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Florida\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Georgia\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Idaho\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Indiana\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Louisiana\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Missouri\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Mississippi\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Montana\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Nebraska\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Nevada \r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of New Hampshire\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of North Dakota\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Ohio\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Oklahoma\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of South Carolina\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of South Dakota\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Tennessee \r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Texas\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Utah\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Virginia\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of West Virginia\r\n\r\n老澳门开奖结果 of Wyoming"}}],"drupal_node_id":"","email":"media@aclu.org","phone":"(212) 549-2666","address":{"address_1":"125 Broad Street","address_2":"18th Floor","city":"New York","state":"NY","zip_code":10004,"country":"United States"},"pgp_public_key":"","issues":[46529],"press_releases_related_to_cases":"","spokesperson":"","related_affiliates":[363,374,332,368,344,328,356,333,364,373,329,357,361,366,376,343,372,349,375,336,350,354,365,377,330],"related_content_documents":"","related_content_publications":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Not in our names: A joint statement against Texas\u2019 cruelty at the border | 老澳门开奖结果<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/aclu-affiliates-joint-statement-against-texas-cruelty-at-border\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Not in our names: A joint statement against Texas\u2019 cruelty at the border | 老澳门开奖结果\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/aclu-affiliates-joint-statement-against-texas-cruelty-at-border\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"老澳门开奖结果\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-02-01T15:36:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@aclu\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/aclu-affiliates-joint-statement-against-texas-cruelty-at-border\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/aclu-affiliates-joint-statement-against-texas-cruelty-at-border\",\"name\":\"Not in our names: A joint statement against Texas\u2019 cruelty at the border | 老澳门开奖结果\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-01T16:00:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-02-01T15:36:50+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/aclu-affiliates-joint-statement-against-texas-cruelty-at-border\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/\",\"name\":\"老澳门开奖结果\",\"description\":\"The 老澳门开奖结果 dares to create a more perfect union \u2014 beyond one person, party, or side.
