Martinez Takes On Trump’s Public Charge Rule

October 11 2018
Written by Nury Martinez.

 

INTEL REPORT—I am the author of a resolution by the Los Angeles City Council to oppose the administration's proposed rule change.

The Department of Homeland Security's proposed rule would have a devastating impact on the well-being of children and families in Los Angeles by punishing immigrants for providing food to their families, and who lawfully receive other public services.

It will also dissuade immigrants to file legal paperwork, because their permanent residency will be on the line.

This is why yesterday I was proud to introduce this resolution.

(Councilwoman Nury Martinez is the Assistant President Pro-Tem of the Los Angeles City Council. She represents the 6th Council District, which includes all or parts of the neighborhoods of Van Nuys, Lake Balboa, Sun Valley, Panorama City, Arleta, North Hollywood, and North Hills East.)
