Senator Feinstein and I will continue
to demand FEMA resources, which include the need for housing,
individual assistance, transportation, and water infrastructure. We
need to make sure all Californians, regardless of status, can get help
at the shelters. I spoke with DHS Acting Secretary Elaine Duke and confirmed that ICE
will suspend immigration enforcement in the area until further notice. It is our belief, and it is our understanding as Californians, that
notice will be clear as to when this effort will end, in terms of not
enforcing immigration. We want to be clear when it is going to start so
we can tell Californians because right now they are trusting DHS's word
that this immigration enforcement has been suspended. We are told that
FEMA, through Elaine Duke, will also support emergency packages that
provide disaster relief for the hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
