Louisiana's recent legislative session has seen the introduction of harsh anti-immigrant bills, such as Senate Bill 15 which would criminalize actions hindering federal immigration enforcement. This legislation threatens public officials who refuse to comply with ICE, fundamentally altering the nature of public service and community protection. The bills are not just about immigration; they signify a broader trend toward control and surveillance, risking the promotion of fascistic policies in the state. This shift must be recognized as a powerful threat to compassion and human rights.
This legislative session, lawmakers in Baton Rouge have been advancing a uniquely harsh combination of anti-immigrant bills, laying bricks in a pathway toward fascism.
If passed, Senate Bill 15 would criminalize any act intended to hinder or prevent federal immigration enforcement, threatening public officials who refuse to cooperate with ICE.
