Thank you @pressley.house.gov for standing up to #ProtectFamilies
Under Trump, masked agents are ripping kids from their parents, pepper spraying moms, & kidnapping teachers from classrooms.

This is horrifying and unacceptable.

Our immigrant families belong here and I'll fight for your rights & dignity.

Many families will withdraw from the programs for which they’re eligible for—programs that help feed, house and keep them healthy. This means more kids in America will be at risk of hunger, of losing stable housing, of getting sick.
The Department of Homeland Security released a proposal today to rescind current public charge regulations, threatening the nation’s health & economic security & the lives of U.S. citizens & lawfully present immigrants. Read our statement: pifcoalition.org/resources/pr... #ProtectFamilies
