MY NAME IS JACLYN [INDISCERNIBLE] AND I'M AN ORGANIZER AT [INDISCERNIBLE].

[00:30:07]

HOLDING TEXT BORDER COUNTIES HOSTAGE AND CONTINUES TRUMP'S INHUMANE IMMIGRATION POLICIES JUST TO SAVE HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN. GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S DESPERATION IS AS CLEAR AS DAY IN OUR COMMUNITY. MAYBE IT WAS A POLL SHOWING MCCONAUGHEY IN THE LEAD EARLIER BUT WE HAVE LEARNED AND SEEN THE CONSEQUENCES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF WHAT IS SEPARATING FAMILIES AND MILITARIZING OUR BORDER EVEN MORE. LET'S BE REAL. HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN BACK IN MARCH OF OPERATION LONE STAR, WITH THE INCREASED DPS PRESENCE LEADING TO I AM TIM DATING AND FINANCIAL HURTING OUR COMMUNITY EVEN MORE AND NOW HE PLANS AN UNPRECEDENTED OVERREACH BY INCREASING ARRESTS AND DEPORTATIONS OF REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS.

>> THE WINTER STORM LEFT THOUSANDS OF TEXANS TO DIE. INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN OUR REGION, EXPANDING MEDICAID AND INCREASING THE MINIMUM WAGE, PROVIDING LOCAL GREEN JOBS OR FIXING OUR ELECTRICAL GRID, ABBOTT IS CHOOSING TO WAGE A WAR WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND IN THE NAME OF SAVING HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN. HE'S DELIVERY USING THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AS PAWNS FOR HIS POLITICAL GAIN. HE'S CHOOSING TO PLEASE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND HIS WEALTHY DONORS IN EXCHANGE FOR TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT AND PRESSING THE MOST VULNERABLE IN THE STATE BECAUSE HE CAN AND THAT'S WRONG.

SO, JUDGE CORTEZ, AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, WILL YOU COWER AND PLAY ABBOTT'S GAME OR WILL YOU JOIN US AND STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIDALGO COUNTY THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT AND FIGHT FOR? WILL YOU STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE REFUGEES FLEEING TO OUR BORDER AND AGAINST SEPARATING FAMILIES AGAIN AND WILL YOU BE THE FIRST TEXAS COUNTY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS RACIST ACT WHILE REPRESENTING THE LARGEST LATINO. WEARING YOU TO NOT BE INTIMIDATED WITH ABBOTT AND TRUMP THAT YOU WERE NOT INVITED TO US. JOIN US FOR TOWN HALL WEDNESDAY MORNING WHERE WE HAVE A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS AND WORKING CLASS PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE PEOPLE TO VOICE OUR NEEDS, UNLIKE THE PR STUNT ABBOTT AND TRUMP ARE PULLING.

WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE MILITARIZATION OF OUR BORDER. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING USED BY CORRUPT POLITICIANS FOR THEIR POLITICAL GAIN. WE'RE FIGHTING BACK AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO OUR LOCAL LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE IN 2022 IF THEY DON'T FIGHT ALONGSIDE US.

THANK YOU. >> YOU HAVE SIX MINUTES LEFT. >> GOOD MORNING.

COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE CORTEZ, MY NAME IS ELIZABETH [INDISCERNIBLE] AND I AM THE JUSTICE ADVOCATE AND [INDISCERNIBLE] BORN AND RAISED. WE ARE A FRUITFUL COMMUNITY OF MIGRANTS THAT ARE ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING AN EXAMPLE OF HOW LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED NOT JUST IN OUR NATION BUT TO THE WORLD. AS A FARMWORKER ADVOCATE THAT WILL HAS TRAVELED AGAINST TEXAS TALKING TO ESSENTIAL WORKERS THAT MAKE THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY BOOM I CAN TELL YOU IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE A STRONG COMMUNITY. WE WELCOME REFUGEES, ASYLUM SEEKERS AND MIGRANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH WELCOME ARMS WE WE LET THEM KNOW THIS IS THEIR ARM. WE'RE STRONG IN OUR CULTURE ALONG WITH MORALS AND VALUES AND ALLOWS US TO SEE HUMAN BEINGS NOT JUST FOR THEIR LABELS BUT SEE THE VALUES AND THE NEW SPOONS THAT EVERY HARD-WORKING MIGRANT BRINGS. OUR FAMILIES AND PARENTS ARE MIGRANTS AND ANCESTORS HAVE CROSSED THAT RIVER, AND WORKED HARD TO SURVIVE.

WHAT I SEE EVERY DAY, WORKING HARD AND FIGHTING TO HELP THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE SURVIVE I SEE -- I SEE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS STRUGGLED UNDER THE HOT SON WORKING AT A FASTBALL AND STEADY RATE TO HARVEST THE PRODUCE GROWING ALONG THE RIVER BY BORDER PATROL SIT IN THE AIR-CONDITIONING VEHICLES WAITING TO POUNCE ON THEM LIKE VULTURES FOR ANYTHING THEY CAN

[00:35:06]

JUSTIFY AND THE LAND OWNERS REST IN THEIR MANSIONS. UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS WORKING IN THE FIELD AND IN THE PACKING SHEDS AND BUILD OUR HOME AT AFFORDABLE RATES AND CLEAN OUR HOMES AND RAISE OUR CHILDREN. OVER 75 PERCENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL WORKERS IN AMERICA ARE UNDOCUMENTED BUT THE REALITY, THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 90 PERCENT.

OUR COUNTRY EATS AND IS SUSTAINED BY THE ESSENTIALLY WORKERS.

THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT APPROVES THAT MIGRANTS HERE GET THE JOB DONE.

JUDGE CORTEZ AND COMMISSIONERS OF THIS COURT, I STAND BEFORE YOU TO ASK THAT YOU OH POISE THE GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION TO ARREST EVERY PERSON THAT CROSSES THE BORDER WITHOUT PERMISSION.

INSTEAD I PROPOSE WE REPRESENT THE PART OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT WILL SAYS WE THE PEOPLE AND EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS A RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED UNDER THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

HOARSE HOW CAN WE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. WHERE DID THE AMERICAN DREAM GO? IT'S BEEN LOCKED UP, CRIMINALIZED. I STAND HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO TAKE A STAND TO DO JOIN US WEDNESDAY, 9:00 A.M., AT [INDISCERNIBLE] TO SHOW NOT JUST THE COMMUNITY BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD TREAT HUMAN BEINGS, WITH DECENCY AND RESPECT AND WE SHOULD OPEN THE DOORS BECAUSE THEY HELP AMERICA BE A GREAT

PLACE TO LIVE. THANK YOU. >> YOU HAVE TWO AND A HALF

MINUTES. >> . >> BUENOS DIAS,JUDGE AND

[00:40:53]

COMMISSIONERS.

[APPLAUSE]. >> JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, AS A QUICK TRANSLATION, THE GENERAL THEME IS THE SAME, NOT TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR'S EFFORT AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

SHE SPOKE FROM THE HEART WITH RESPECT TO HER PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND SEEING FIRST HAND THE EFFECTS ON THE TEAMMATE, ON THE FAMILY UNITS AND THE CHILDREN AFFECTED BY WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW WITH THE IMMIGRATION THAT THE COUNTRY IS FACING, SO THAT IN A NUTSHELL AGAIN IS THE GENERAL THEME THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED PRIOR.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST GROUP. AND I LET SOME TIME GO OVER SO I WILL ADD THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO THE OTHER GROUPS SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, DO WE HAVE SPEAKERS?

>> WE HAVE MARIO [INDISCERNIBLE]. >> PART OF THE SAME GROUP?

>> YES. >> YES. OKAY.

>> I'M GOING TO ALLOW FOR TEN MINUTES. I ALLOWED AN EXTRA MINUTE.

I WILL ADVICE WHEN THREE MINUTES HAVE PASSED AND SO FORTH AND SO ON.

THERE'S A TOTAL OF TEN MINUTES FOR THE SECOND GROUP. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. >> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, MY NAME IS MARIO [INDISCERNIBLE] AND I'M HERE FOR THE TEXAS CIVIL RIGHTS PROJECT, JOINING FORCES WITH OUR SISTER ORGANIZATION. AS A RESIDENT OF BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, NEIGHBORING COUNTY, I COME BEFORE YOU, COMMISSIONERS, TO ASK AND URGE YOU THAT ALL FOUR COUNTIES IN THE VALLEY UNITE. WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO DONALD TRUMP'S REALITY SHOW.

WE CANNOT ALLOW HIM TO COME INTO OUR VALLEY [SPANISH]. WE ARE TIRED [SPANISH].

ABBOTT HAS INVITED HIM. ABBOTT IS PROPOSING ALL THIS RACIAL AGENDA TO ADVANCE HIS POLITICAL AGENDA. HE'S GETTING NATIONAL MONEY. HE'S GETTING NATIONAL ATTENTION AT OUR COST. [SPANISH]. THEY'RE INSTILLING FEAR OUT THERE. THAT IS NOT WHAT OUR COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE FEELING.

THEY SHOULD BE FEELING PRIDE [SPANISH]. IT IS IMPORTANT AGAIN THAT WE UNITE. WE NEED PUT A STOP TO THIS. AGAIN, WE URGE THAT YOU OPPOSE [SPANISH] THE VALLEY CANNOT AND WELL NOT TOLERATE HIM COMING INTO OUR VALLEY, PROMOTING HIS REALITY SHOW. ABBOTT IS LOOKING FOR ATTENTION TO DISTRACT FROM HIS FAILURE TO

[00:45:03]

MEET OUR STATE OF TEXAS. AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU. WE KNOW THAT WE CAN COUNT ON

YOU. [SPANISH]. >> TWO DAYS AGO, A SCENE THAT WAS SEEN EVERYWHERE, THE NATIONAL NEWS. WHY? BECAUSE OF OUR FAILED POLICIES SEEKING POLITICAL ASSIGNMENT. AGAIN, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS COURT AND THANK YOU, JUDGE, FOR ALLOWING ME THE TIME. THANK YOU, JUDGE, THANK YOU,

COMMISSIONERS. >> [APPLAUSE]. >> YOU HAVE SIX MINUTES.

>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS. I SPOKE TWO WEEKS AGO HERE TALKING ABOUT MY STORY AND THE WORK THAT THE TEXAS CIVIL RIGHTS PROJECT DOES [INDISCERNIBLE] SHARE A STATEMENT THAT I THINK YOU CAN SEND OUT IN RESPONSE TO THE GOVERNOR. I HAVE COPIES HERE WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE COURT. IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES, JUDGE, A STATEMENT FROM JUDGE LOPEZ WOULD READ A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. I THINK I WOULD SAY MR. ABBOTT [INDISCERNIBLE] IMMIGRANT-KILLING RACIST ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY COMMUNITY BUT INSTEAD I'VE DRAFTED SOMETHING I THINK IS LESS COLORFUL AND WOULD FULLFUL YOUR DUTY TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF BOTH THOSE WHO LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND THOSE WHO ARRIVE HERE SEEKING SAFETY. THIS IS THE STATEMENT WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN FOR YOU JUDGE AND WHICH YOUR OFFICE CAN USE. HONORABLE GOVERNOR ABBOTT, IT'S COMING TO MY ATTENTION YOU INTEND TO VISIT HIDALGO COUNTY ON JUNE 30, 2021, WITH THE FORMER 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE U.S., DONALD TRUMP. WHILE WE IN THE COUNTY WILL ALWAYS WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS FOR MEANINGFUL SOLUTIONS ORIENTED CONVERSATION THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR CONSTITUENTS I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A TELEVISED TOWN HALL WITH MY COMMUNITY AS A BACKDROP IS TRULY IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SOUTH TEXANS. IT IS MY FEAR THAT THIS EVENT WILL ONLY FURTHER THE HARMFUL RHETORIC AROUND IMMIGRANTS AND LATINOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WOULD ONLY SHOW MORE DIVISION AND GOD FORBID MAY BRING BAD PHYSICAL HARM TO THE COMMUNITIES LEADING TO VIOLENCE WE SAW A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO. IT'S MY DEEP HOPE THAT YOU'LL RESCINDER YOUR INVITATION TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY. THERE'S NO NEED TO GIVE HIM A PLATFORM IN OUR COMMUNITY.

A MAN WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN YOUR NATION'S CAPITAL AND FORCED CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS AND PAINTS OUR COMMUNITY AS RAPISTS AND MURDERERS.

WE CARE ABOUT HEALTHCARE, WELL PAYING JOBS, CROSS-BORDER BUSINESS, ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER MATTERS OF THE LIKE. YOUR FRIEND, RICHARD CORTEZ, HIDALGO COUNTY JUDGE. I'M GOING TO SHARE THE STATEMENT AND ONE THING WE'RE ALL REALLY ASKING HERE FOR TODAY, JUDGE, IS YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND YOUR DEFENSE OF THIS COMMUNITY, YOUR ACTIVE OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNOR FOR THE POLITICAL GAMES HE'S PLAYING BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED THE FANFARE. WE DON'T NEED A TELEVISED TOWN HALL IN OUR REGION WITH SEAN HANNITY COMING DOWN. WE NEED YOUR HELP. IT SHOULDN'T JUST BE US.

I PASS TO YOU THIS STATEMENT. I WELCOME YOU TO USE IT OR AMEND IT.

BUT WE NEED ACTIVE OPPOSITION AGAINST THIS VISIT. THANK YOU.

[00:50:18]

[APPLAUSE]. >> . >> YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

>> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE CORTEZ AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A COMMENT TODAY. MY NAME IS SARAH CREWS, AND I'M HERE TODAY REPRESENTING TEXAS IMPACT AND ALSO MYSELF ASKING THAT YOU OPPOSE TEXAS GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S PLANS FOR A BORDER WALL AS WELL AS HIS DISASTER DECLARATION AND FALSE NARRATIVE THAT TEXAS BORDER COMMUNITIES ARE IN A STATE OF DISASTER. VALLEY RESIDENTS AND YOU WHO ARE HERE KNOW THE BORDER IS NOT IN A STATE OF DISASTER NOR OVERRUN BY DANGEROUS CRIMINALS. ON THE CONTRARY WE KNOW OUR COMMUNITIES ARE THRIVING AND ALIVE BUT WE ARE ALSO AWARE THAT MANY OF OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS DEFINITELY HAVE UNMET NEEDS. RATHER THAN WASTING MONEY ON COSTLY DAMAGING NONSOLUTIONS IN SERVICE OF PARTISAN POLITICS OUR ELECTED FIRNS SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON REAL IMMIGRATION REFORM AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. AT THE STATE LEVEL TEXAS ELECTED OFFICIALS SHOULD BE FOCUSING PUBLIC RESOURCES ON THE INISSUES OF POVERTY, EDUCATION, NATURAL RESOURCES AND A LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE THAT HAVE PLAGUED THE BORDER REGION FOR DECADES. TEXAS FAITH COMMUNITIES AND RESIDENTS, LIKE I SAID, SOME WHO ARE HERE TODAY HAVE DEMANDED AND CONTINUE TO DEMAND THAT THE GOVERNOR REORIENT HIS PRIORITIES AWAY FROM POLARIZING POLITICAL POSTURING AND PUT HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE ALL THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS INCLUDING THE MARGINNIZED AND VULNERABLE.

THE VALLEY HAS SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER AND WE DESERVE TO BE MORE THAN A POLITICAL PROP.

THANK YOU. >> [APPLAUSE]. >> .

>> ABOUT 45 OR 50 SECONDS LEFT. >> HI. MY NAME IS DIAMOND DOMINGUEZ

[INDISCERNIBLE]. >> I'M HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT HOW IT'S NOT RIGHT TO SEPARATE THE FAMILY. I CAN'T IMAGINE ME SEPARATED FROM MY MOM BECAUSE I GET PANIC ATTACKS AND I FEEL LIKE THE WORLD IS AGAINST ME. MY MOM CALMS ME DONE.

WE NEED THAT NOW. I THINK EVERYTHING IS AGAINST THEM RIGHT NOW AND THEY NEED THEIR MOM OR DAD TO BE THERE FOR THEM. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

BUT THANK YOU. >> [APPLAUSE]. >> DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS

ON THE LINE? >> THAT WILL BE IT, SIR. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAY I MAKE A GENERAL STATEMENT? >> YES.

>> EARLIER THIS MORNING I DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE OTHER THREE COUNTY JUDGES TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER. I THINK YOU'LL BE HAPPY FOR THE SUPPORT THAT ALL OF THE COUNTIES ARE GOING TO HAVE TOWARDS THIS MATTER. THAT'S IT.
