Representative Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) joined Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) to reintroduce the landmark, bicameral bill, Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, during the 119th Congress. This pivotal legislation would codify common sense protections for immigrant communities at sensitive locations amid the onslaught of attacks on immigrants, including vulnerable immigrant families. The Protecting Sensitive Locations Act is co-led by Representatives Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Don Beyer (VA-08), Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), and Jasmine Crockett (TX-30). The list of “sensitive locations” for immigrant communities that this Act protects includes, but are not limited to: medical treatment facilities and health care facilities of all types; public and private schools, early childhood learning centers, preschools, scholastic activities, and field trips; places of worship; federal and local courthouses; DMVs and social security offices; polling places; labor union halls; and several other locations which provide essential or emergency services to immigrant communities, such as rape crisis centers and homeless shelters. A broad coalition of Members of Congress, including 34 Representatives and 18 Senators support the bill as cosponsors. The Protecting Sensitive Locations Act is endorsed by over 580 advocate organizations across several industries including, health care, education, and religious institutions.
