On May 22, CAIR-CA hosted the 12th Annual Muslim Day at the Capitol in Sacramento!

Around 500 American-Muslim activists showed up to advocate for three CAIR-CA sponsored bills addressing important issues in our community—including SB 461, authored by Senator @aishabbwahab.

SB 461, which unanimously passed through the #California State Senate, aims to allow state employees to use alloted holiday credit for holidays realted to an employees religion, culture or heritage.

Despite making campaign promises to overturn inhum

Despite making campaign promises to overturn inhumane policies and stop forced deportations that violate due process, the #Biden administration has instead decided to punish people fleeing for their lives and exercising their right to seek safety by implementing what is essentially an #asylumban.

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that the #Bidenadministration has chosen to replace #Title42, a #Trump-era pandemic policy that blocked asylum-seekers from entering the country in the name of preserving public health, with one of the most inhumane asylum bans yet. The new policy would disqualify migrants from asylum eligibility if they did not seek asylum in the countries they passed through to get to the U.S. border. The ban also blocks reentry into the U.S. for five years and prosecutes immigrants attempting to seek safety in the U.S.

Despite making campaign promises to overturn inhumane policies and stop forced deportations that violate due process, the #Biden administration is adding further restrictions on #asylum that will likely go into effect when #Title42 ends on May 11.
