Document Date: February 29, 2016

This coalition letter, sent on February 29, 2016 to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Burwell, urges DHS and HHS to protect immigrant children and families in Flint, Michigan. Specifically, the letter asks DHS and HHS to grant immigration relief to immigrants whose families were poisoned during the water crisis, provide assurance that any records related to the water crisis (such as public health records or infrastructure surveys) will not be used for immigration enforcement purposes, and immediately and publicly suspend all immigration enforcement activities in Flint until the public health crisis has been comprehensively addressed.
