Take Action with the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota
Posted on Mar 27 2017
Beginning in January, the number of phone calls and contacts to Congress and legislators reached new heights as U.S. residents voiced their opposition to Trump administration initiatives. Many ILCM supporters responded to our Action Alerts by contacting Congress regarding refugee resettlement and the Trump anti-immigrant agenda.
Minnesotans also contacted their legislature and Governor Mark Dayton regarding Real ID. The House passed a Real ID bill that banned drivers’ licenses for unauthorized immigrants; the Senate voted down the bill because of the ban. A “clean” Real ID bill, meaning a bill without the drivers’ license ban, was passed March 30th with the support of Governor Mark Dayton.
