A South Florida congresswoman is holding a “Tele-Town Hall” on Thursday to help immigrants understand their rights at a time when the Trump administration is carrying out the biggest deportation plan in U.S. history.
“Everyone has rights in the Constitution,” said U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Miramar, in a statement. “It's important that District 20 residents feel empowered and informed if they have to interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
“I know many members of our community are feeling anxious in light of recent changes to immigration laws in the United States,” she said. “But regardless of your immigration status, everyone has rights in the Constitution. It's important that District 20 residents feel empowered and informed if they have to interact with [ICE].
Joining Cherfilus-McCormick, the only Haitian American Member in Congress, will be state Sen. Rosalind Osgood, D-Tamarac, Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers, and Frandley D. Julien, a local attorney.
