U.S. Supreme Court allows Texas law on suspected illegal immigrants to take effect

Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), an immigrants’ rights group, has been actively engaging in the current election by knocking on over 600,000 doors to promote civic engagement. The organization, which also advocates for social and economic justice, has a presence in six counties across urban and suburban areas in Arizona.

Despite Vice President Kamala Harris campaigning for a border enforcement bill that LUCHA does not support, organizer Alejandra Gomez remains hopeful about Harris's stance on comprehensive immigration reform. Gomez appreciates Harris's recent discussions on this topic during a visit to the border, emphasizing the importance of organizing with Harris to address critical issues.
