""The termination of any of the current countries that receive Temporary Protected Status directly affects our immigrant communities in San Francisco," said District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder, who introduced a non-binding resolution urging the California federal delegation to urge Congress to establish a permanent pathway for Temporary Protected Status holders."
""As your city attorney, I can share with you that our office is doing everything we can to stand with our immigrants because we know how far our country has fallen from the promise of the Statue of Liberty," said City Attorney David Chiu, whose office filed amicus briefs on July 29 highlighting the "deep integration into American society" and warning that ending their status would "cause irreparable harm" to communities."
""We have to stand together," Chiu said to the 30 or so people who attended the rally."
Five San Francisco supervisors joined labor organizers and immigrants to condemn the decision to end Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal. District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder introduced a non-binding resolution urging the California federal delegation to press Congress to create a permanent pathway for TPS holders, and the Board passed the resolution unanimously. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the administration's order, and affected immigrants will lose protected status and work authorization on Sept. 8. City Attorney David Chiu filed amicus briefs citing deep integration into American society and warning of irreparable harm. TPS was created in 1990 and requires periodic renewals.
