Subject: Wal-Mart & Minneapolis/INS-City Separation Ordinance Public Hearing
is Tomorrow!
Two items for this week:
1) INS/City Separation Ordinance Hearing is Wednesday!
2) A meeting regarding the incoming St. Anthony Wal-Mart is Thursday!
1) You are invited to:
Support the INS/City Separation Ordinance
WHAT: A St. Paul City Council Public Hearing
WHEN: Wednesday, April 28, 2003 at 5:30 p.m.
WHERE: St.Paul City Council Chambers; 3rd Floor - St. Paul City Hall, 15 W.
Kellogg Avenue
Context: The St. Paul City Council is poised to take an important stand
against racial, national, and religious profiling by adopting the INS/City
Separation Ordinance. In adopting the Ordinance the City Council will
reassert the principle and practice of local control in the face of the Bush
Administration's desire to enlist city employees in its anti-immigrant
policies.
What the Ordinance Does: The Ordinance ensures that immigrants can contact
city employees about City service matters (police, fire, housing
inspections, etc.) without fear of being interrogated about their
immigration status or being reported to federal immigration officials.
As immigrant community members have persuasively argued with a united voice,
allowing all city residents equal access to public safety and city services
without regard to immigration status enhances the public safety of everyone.
Support them for the benefit of all on April 28.
**Reassert the principle of locally controlled law enforcement and city
services.
**Hold the line between federal and local responsibilities.
**Support the INS/City Separation Ordinance.
