Supervisor Kristin Gaspar (District 3) was the lone dissenting vote -- siding with Trump over the needs and values of San Diego communities and residents. We need to let Gaspar know that her position is unacceptable: we are calling on her to stand-up against the Trump agenda and fight for necessary resources and appropriate federal policies to help us in San Diego address the humanitarian border crisis manufactured by the Trump administration. From the UT (2/12): Prior to October, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement used to connect asylum seekers with sponsors or family members in the United States while they waited for the legal asylum process to play out. It was called a “safe release” program. Now, federal policies have changed and asylum seekers are being processed by ICE and then released into communities such as San Diego without any resources, leaving thousands of migrants all but stranded. The suit aims to reimburse the county for the cost of serving asylum seekers and to compel the federal government to re-implement a “safe release” program. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-kristin-gaspar-support-the-anti-trump-lawsuit
