Hey so the Laken Riley Act has gotten past the House and has been reintroduced to the Senate, and we really gotta take action about it, because the whole point of it is to force law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants for pretty much any alleged crime including things like suspected shoplifting, even if it's not been proven.
Please call your senators about it and tell them not to support the bill.
For a basic script, use this (feel free to add a bit about it being super racist if you have a senator who will be receptive to that)
Hi. I'm calling today from [state your person represents] as a constituent of [name of your person]. I heard about HR 29, or the Laken Riley Act, and was calling to express my deep concern for it, as it would seriously harm [name of your person]'s constituents in my community, by forcing law enforcement to go ahead with detentions they deem unnecessary, which would waste [name for people who live in your state]'s tax dollars. Because of this, I'm calling on [him/her] to vote NO when the bill comes to a floor vote. (They'll say that they'll pass it along) Thank you, I appreciate that. Have a good day. *hang up*
