FIEL STATEMENT ON SIGNING OF SB4
[HOUSTON, TX] On Monday December 18 Governor Abbott signed the controversial SB4 law. FIEL releases the following statement. FIEL Spokespeople are available for comment.
" We are a few days away from the holidays and once again the State of Texas has delivered a devastating blow to the immigrant community. Because of personal political ambition, greed and hate Gov Abbot has continued with his crusade to attack the immigrant community to fortify himself and his base. After many years of trying to bridge the gap between the immigrant community and law enforcement it feels liek overnight this work has been undone. The damage has already been done, these last few weeks our office has been inundated with calls about people with questions and fears about SB4 . We want to remind the community to remain calm since, although they are bad laws, they have yet to be implemented. At this point we also have questions about how and if they may even be able to be implemented. All we know is what the law reads and all we want to do is to begin to prepare our community for may or may not come. " – Cesar Espinosa FIEL Executive Director
