The Laken Riley Act isn’t about public safety — it's an attack on constitutional protections and a green light to Trump's mass deportation agenda.
This bill is on its way to the Senate for a vote.

This Thursday 12/19, City Council will take a final vote on the Sixers arena deal, including the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) that’s a slap in the face to our city and our people. This deal is no victory—it’s a sellout.

Good news: Last week, the House blocked H.R.9495
Bad news: The House is going to try again this week.
Passing this bill would give the Trump admin a dangerous tool to stifle free speech, target political opponents, and more. We can’t let that happen:
