We stand with Emerge alum Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, today and everyday.
Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration.
This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.
