Join Neighbors to Weigh in on Immigration Actions

Comments 0 Comment

Escondido Indivisible members joined with Escondido Neighbors for Solutions to urge our elected officials to help us address the worst excesses of federal immigration enforcement agents active in our city.

The Mayor and Council apparently don’t know how to negotiate contracts which are…
