B1C Statement in Support of Attorney General Tong’s Immigration Guidance

B1C stands in support of Attorney General William Tong's Statement of Policy and Guidance Regarding Immigration Matters. At B1C, our mission is to advance the successful integration of immigrants and their families, helping them thrive. By building bridges between immigrant families and the broader community, we witness firsthand the fear and uncertainty that our community is navigating right now. This guidance is a critical step in ensuring that immigrants and their families understand their legal rights, and that organizations like ours are equipped to help protect them.

B1C remains a welcoming, trusted presence for immigrant families in Connecticut, now more than ever. We are committed to upholding the dignity, safety, and rights of every person we serve, regardless of immigration status. We will continue to show up for our community, as we always have, with compassion, with expertise, and without fear.

We are grateful to Attorney General Tong and his office for providing this clarity and for standing on the side of our immigrant neighbors, colleagues, and friends. We encourage all Connecticut residents, organizations, and businesses that serve immigrant communities to review this guidance, know their rights, and join us in building a community where everyone belongs.

Connecticut's strength has always been its people, and our immigrant community is an essential, irreplaceable part of who we are.
