As an organization committed to racial justice and the rule of law, it is our obligation to put a spotlight on racism and its overzealous cousin, white supremacy. The Trump administration’s immigration policies are explicitly and implicitly fostering a belief that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that this nation will be better or stronger, whatever superlative fits, with more white people and fewer people of color.

The killing of George Floyd on May 25 has returned the spotlight on racist policing and the dehumanization of African Americans in the criminal legal system. We share the grief and anger that’s spilling into the streets calling for justice.
