Immigration Hub: Thank You Honorable Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

WASHINGTON - In response to the death of the honorable U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Immigration Hub issued the following statement:

“We are grateful and humbled by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her incredible work and the legacy she leaves behind‑ an indelible mark in our nation’s history and each generation to come.

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg dedicated her life to fighting on behalf of those who deserved — but were too often denied — equal dignity in the eyes of the law.  While she’ll forever be remembered as a colossal force in the ongoing fight for gender equality, her drive to achieve ‘justice for all’ impacted people of every color, background, and community — including immigrants. She served as a critical voice on the Court on DACA, DAPA and the discriminatory Muslim Ban, further sealing her legacy as a true champion of those denied justice and humanity. 

“Justice Ginsburg’s last words cannot be ignored. The Senate must not vote on a Supreme Court justice until after the elections. To dismiss her dying wish is not just an insult to her legacy, but an affront to our democracy and the public who mourns her.”
