Joint Statement From Colorado Community Leaders Welcoming the El Gamal Family Home: Last year, in a powerful show of solidarity in the wake of the June 1st antisemitic firebombing on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, over one hundred of Colorado's Jewish and immigrant rights leaders came together to oppose cynical attempts by the Trump administration to turn us against each other. We are proud of the way Coloradans rose both to support those directly harmed by the attack -- who we wish continued healing and peace -- and to defend those who were targeted after, and we remain committed to efforts to confront antisemitism, xenophobia, and all other forms of hate. Now, we as community leaders in Colorado are coming together once more to celebrate the release of the El Gamal family, who were not involved in the attack, but were abducted by ICE in response to it anyway. United as one, we also condemn the lengthy imprisonment and cruel mistreatment - including denial of needed medical care - the family endured in a privatized immigrant detention center in Texas. In Colorado, we know that hurting innocent people does nothing to heal anyone's pain --it actually just harms all of us even more. We know that what is truly healing is the polar opposite: coming together, across our differences, to learn, build, mourn and find joy with one another. This is who we are at our best, and why we will continue to strenuously resist all efforts to divide us and pit us against one another. Together, we say “welcome home” to the El Gamal family, as they finally are able to return to Colorado. They belong here, and with a clear and united voice, we call for Federal immigration authorities to cease their persecution of this family and leave both them and our broader communities in peace. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-on-welcoming-the-el-gamal-family-home
