In the midst of a national outcry against ICE tactics, an organization supporting people living with developmental disabilities is speaking out.
The response to tactics used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including abuse against both immigrants and native-born residents, is growing larger and louder.
The ARC of California’s board of directors has joined in with a carefully written statement opposing harmful and discriminatory immigration enforcement practices. The statement cautions people with disabilities and their families about threats posed by ICE agents and calls for 6 immediate changes.
Pushing Limits welcomes The ARC-CA executive director, Jordan Lindsey, to discuss this statement and the need to prepare state residents against continued harassment by ICE agents. Yes, people with disabilities may be even more prone to abuse than those from the non-disabled community.
The ARC of California has three offices in the state to serve people with developmental disabilities.
