Protesters, including immigrant rights advocates and a retired deputy sheriff, gathered outside the National Sheriffs' Association Conference in Fort Lauderdale to voice their opposition to the 287(g) agreement. This agreement allows local law enforcement to assist in federal immigration enforcement, which many believe undermines trust between immigrant communities and the police. The demonstration featured chants like 'We fight back!' and highlighted concerns about the separation of families under current immigration policies, particularly advocating for a more humane treatment of immigrants.
What do we do when immigrants' rights are under attack? We fight back! The protesters chanted.
I'm here to give back and to stand against the separation of families and the unjust targeting of immigrants who are simply trying to live in this country.
