Let’s Expand Paid Leave Following Second “Year of the Woman”

DENVER, CO - JUNE 06: Undocumented immigrant activist Jeanette Vizuerra changes her grandson's diaper on June 6, 2017 in Denver, Colorado. Vizguerra was given a temporary stay of deportation by ICE in May after taking sanctuary in Denver churches for three months. Vizguerra, who is from Mexico, has lived in the United States for twenty years and has three U.S.-born children. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), agents, emboldened by the leadership of President Donald Trump, have almost doubled arrests of undocumented immigrants, many of whom without criminal records, up from the previous year. The soaring number of detentions highlights a Trump campaign pledge to target the some 11 million people living as undocumented immigrants in the United States.
