Washington, D.C. - LULAC hails the recent decision by Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley to stop complying with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency’s request that local jails detain all immigrants for deportation..
The group requested that Governor O’Malley work with the Maryland Congressional Delegation to pass an immigration reform bill that meets the needs of the Latino community, including an earned path to citizenship.
National Latino organizations engaged in voter education and registration efforts today reported how the 113th Congress—including every member of the House of Representatives and the Senate—has dealt with the issue of immigration so far.
Earlier this week, Collegiate LULAC Councils successfully organized a peaceful demonstration against an offensive game organized by a conservative group at the University of Texas in Austin.
