After ICE raids intimidate predominantly Mexican communities, Jeff Sessions visits Sacramento (3/7/2018)

La Cartita --- Yesterday, Chicano, Uncodumented and other community & grassroots organizations convened at the state capitol to voice opposition to Attorney General Jeff Session' statements on the sanctuary status of California. Sessions has voiced staunch criticism of California's measure to protect historically native communities from federal displacement through ICE raids. Fortunately, for millions of people who reside in California without US documentation, the state of California has chosen to publicly oppose Trump's politicized immigration stance.

La Cartita --- Yesterday, Chicano, Uncodumented and other community & grassroots organizations convened at the state capitol to voice opposition to Attorney General Jeff Session' statements on the sanctuary status of California. Sessions has voiced staunch criticism of California's measure to protect historically native communities from federal displacement through ICE raids. Fortunately, for millions of people who reside in California without US documentation, the state of California has chosen to publicly oppose Trump's politicized immigration stance.

Jeff Sessions is thought to have led efforts to politicize the US Census. The current Attorney General is demanding that immigration status be noted in surveys. The majority of undocumented people will often factor into a census without such an identifying marker. The use of the information will filter into ICE raids if not prevented by the Mexican community.

Among the protestors were UC Davis students from Clinica Tepati, some, like Alfredo Lopez (UC Davis), observed that Trump was simply catering to his political base: " He has spread [a] negaive message on immigration since he announced his candidacy. Its where he gets support from.".

Many now are also equating ICE raids with state sponsored terrorism. The raids are perceived as political in nature, and the cause of severe pain to many families. The Trump campaign was launched with a widely condemned insult to Mexicans, where he called Mexicans 'rapist' at the front of the Trump power.

In a show of force, Jeff Sessions was deployed today to California to assert 'Anglo-American law' (his terminology in past speeches) over the state. Despite popular demand for legal sanctuary for undocumented individuals, the federal government has politicized immigration law further by attributing lost jobs, economic and social prominence of whits to native people migrating to historically native land.

A Reaganesque deregulation scheme has coloured the Donald Trump administration's priorities since its inception, but immigration related fervor has provided a helpful smokescreen for their agenda. More white Americans are turning to native workers as the cause of their social ills.
