Statement from Lupe M. Rodríguez, Executive Director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, on the confirmation of Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General



“We are outraged by Pam Bondi’s confirmation as Attorney General. Her long history of supporting policies like Arizona’s discriminatory ‘show me your papers’ law and lawsuits to block DACA harms Latine and im/migrant communities and makes her unfit to lead the Department of Justice. With the power to oversee immigration courts, misapply the Comstock Act, and influence critical decisions on appeals, she poses a grave threat to the safety of our communities and will advance Trump’s political agenda to detain and separate families. We refuse to stand by as our rights are stripped away by an Attorney General who promotes anti-immigrant rhetoric.”
