“So the only requirements to access this fund is to live or work in Seattle and be in deportation proceedings. We do not ask about criminal record to prevent us from furthering the narrative of good vs bad immigrant” @MLorenaGonzalez

“We also failed to look back at implemented policies. We had to look and see if city employees were actually comply with the policies that we intended to protect immigrants.”
