Although he says he supports immigrant communities, his voting record shows otherwise. Little Saigon deserves a representative who can do more than give symbolic statements - he must commit to votes and actions that do not further criminalize our immigrant communities.

Since taking office, @derektranCA45 voted for bills that massively expands immigration enforcement & strips non-citizens of due process, & he just recently voted on a resolution that expresses “gratitude to ICE,” despite the mass raids occurring across migrants his district. 1/3

Rep. Tran campaigned on his family’s refugee story but now backs anti-immigrant bills, enabling deportations that tear families apart. We deserve leaders who honor our struggles, not betray them. Sign now: https://t.co/cppW3X7Pjd
