For communities in the 49th District this proposed federal legislation is deeply personal. Communities like West Chicago were built by immigrants, and immigrant families are our neighbors, educators, business owners, and friends.
ICE brings fear into our neighborhoods, not safety. Safety means children going to school without fear; parents going to work without wondering if they will make it home; and families being able to live in peace.

Our community and our country deserve nothing less.
