Immigrant laborers will clean up and rebuild Los Angeles. They've already started, volunteering their labor to clean up the streets of Pasadena. In the process, they are creating community. This is heartwarming and necessary @NDLON #immigrantsarevital.

The Pasadena Community Job Center is a gathering spot for day laborers. As fires burned across the region, workers and staff launched a fire relief brigade.

Wonderful news!! Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extended designations which were set to expire in the next few months: - El Salvador - Venezuela - Ukraine - Sudan This means 18 additional months of protection for roughly 850,000 people. What about Honduras??.

"Immigrants will be the ones bringing Los Angeles back from the ashes. Without them, the city will struggle to recover.". Who will rebuild Los Angeles? Immigrants.

And many of them will be doing it under threat of family separation.

Agree-- in addition, Salvadoran & Honduran TPS holders have spent a quarter century, often more than half of their lives, in the U.S. They have deep roots in their communities and if they lose status, they'd be separated from their families and U.S.-born children @TPS_Alliance.
180,000 Salvadorans have TPS. They've been living and working legally since 2001, passing a background check every 18 months. Many work in construction in the DC metro area, often in high-level roles with decades of experience. If they lose status, the region would feel the blow.
