In Glendale, California, and across the nation, immigrant communities have long enriched our society’s cultural, economic, and civic tapestry.
As Armenian Americans, proud law-abiding citizens and members of California’s immigrant community, the ANCA Glendale stands with our neighbors in urging policymakers and law enforcement to protect and uphold due process and ensure that every person, regardless of immigration status, is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Detentions and immigration raids that undermine the principles of due process, procedural fairness, transparency, and the rule of law undermine the very constitutional ideals upon which the United States was founded. We urge our leaders to live up to the values that have for so long served as a beacon of hope for our communities that fled persecution, violence, and injustice in search of a better life.
