As outrage mounts over federal immigration raids across California, members of the state legislature gathered at the Capitol on Thursday to urge the state to formally condemn federal raids targeting immigrant communities.

The Latino Legislative Caucus for the California State Senate held a press conference on Thursday in Sacramento in support of Senate Joint Resolution 9 (SJR9), which if passed would mean the state senate would officially denounce the federal immigration raids. Among the caucus members who spoke was caucus chair and Long Beach’s State Senator Lena Gonzalez.

Along with directing the state legislature to officially denounce recent mass immigration raids and the use of military force in immigration enforcement, if passed, SJR 9 would also call for expanded legal aid and emergency resources.
