Adilene Alvarez's husband was detained by ICE, igniting a community response in Santa Clara County. Advocates, led by officials like County Supervisor Sylvia Arenas, are calling for a pledge to protect the rights of the roughly 134,000 undocumented residents in the county. They emphasize the importance of comprehensive immigration reform and collaboration with Latino organizations. Alvarez highlights the personal costs of this struggle, reflecting broader concerns over the impact of national immigration policies on families and communities.
Alvarez emphasized the personal toll of her husband's detention: "This is costing us a lot - taking care of the kids, working, paying the bills, paying the rent (by myself)."
County Supervisor Sylvia Arenas highlighted the importance of defending immigrant communities, stating, "This is the first time as elected officials that we're coming together and we're standing in unified solidarity for our Latino and our immigrant community."
