The Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee proudly recognizes this week as Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) week in Washington, D.C. This special week highlights the vital contributions of the CBC in advocating for justice, equality, and progress for Black Americans and all marginalized communities. The CBC plays a critical role in shaping policies and championing initiatives that address systemic inequalities, economic opportunity, healthcare, education, and voting rights. During this week, we celebrate the leadership and achievements of CBC members and reaffirm our commitment to driving positive change. We encourage all members of the community to participate in upcoming events, seminars, and discussions planned throughout the week to learn more about the impactful work of the CBC and how we can continue to support their efforts.

Together, we stand united in our pursuit of justice and equity for every American.

Unlawful Deportation of Mr. Kilmar Garcia and the Supreme Court's Ruling

We are outraged by the recent unlawful deportation of Mr. Garcia, a Prince George’s resident, whose forced removal without due process has sent fear through our communities. His deportation, carried out in clear violation of legal protections, represents a failure of justice.

The Supreme Court has now issued a legal ruling affirming that the actions taken in Mr. Garcia’s case were unlawful. This decision directly reaffirms the requirement that the government must uphold the rule of law. No individual shall be stripped of their rights without due process. The Trump administration is a threat to the rule of law and the Constitution and members of the administration are openly taunting the Supreme Court.

As residents of Prince George’s County, we are concerned about the broader implications of this and similar actions. When Constitutional rights are undermined for those that are deemed “unsympathetic” by the media and the Trump administration, the rights of all are threatened.

We stand in solidarity with all Prince Georgians who view this as a threat to their rights and all those impacted by the unlawful actions of this administration. We expect our federal government to uphold the constitutional rights of all individuals and to work tirelessly to ensure that such an injustice never happens again.
