The Supreme Court made a devastating decision on September 8th: in a 6-3 ruling, the court gave ICE agents permission to stop and question people in Los Angeles based on how they look, what language they speak, where they work, or simply where they happen to be standing. While this doesn't change due process for those arrested by ICE officials, it allows justification of arrest without a warrant for virtually anyone.
We've seen the devastating outcomes as thousands of families have been torn apart by this administration. Income loss, declining health, and hunger are just a few of the consequences that reverberate across our communities.
Parents are making impossible choices, living in fear of horrific detention conditions and possible deportation—without their children. Mothers in our neighborhoods quietly arrange who will feed their infants if they are detained. Parents are sending teenage children—U.S. citizens—to grocery stores while they stay hidden at home. Pregnant women are skipping prenatal appointments, missing work, and isolating during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives: pregnancy and the fourth trimester.
This is where Mama2Mama steps in.
We've always believed that care is unconditional. As families are scared for their future, we're expanding our reach to meet them where they are—literally at their doorsteps.
