Latino leaders in Santa Clara County are mobilizing to support communities affected by increased federal immigration enforcement. They gathered at Mexican Heritage Plaza to endorse the "Latino and Immigrant Justice Pledge", which aims to counteract perceived attacks on Latino and immigrant populations under the Trump administration. This includes commitments to provide food assistance, legal aid, and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Concerns about racial profiling have grown, as even American-born Latinos report being detained. The pledge comprises 12 action items focused on empowerment and investment in local communities.
"We can't let ourselves be fooled - these attacks on our community have nothing to do with national (security) or public safety, they have everything to do with fear and division."
"Their purpose is to rob our people of our dignity, to take away our voice, to erase our achievements and to push us even further into the shadows."
