Rather than stand with courageous mayors across the country against the Trump administration’s threat to withhold federal grant money from sanctuary cities, Mayor Carlos Gimenez voluntarily chose to violate the rights of Miami-Dade residents by ordering county officials to comply with federal detention requests, detaining people suspected of being undocumented immigrants without a warrant for possible deportation.
Take a stand for the rights of immigrants in Miami-Dade County by contacting your county commissioner today. We need to demand that Mayor Gimenez reconsider cooperating with the Trump administration’s unconstitutional executive order.
Show your support for refugees, immigrants, Muslims and people of all faiths. We need every voice on the record – call your county commissioner today and demand that they publicly oppose Trump’s Muslim ban and Mayor Gimenez's decision.
