## Resource

Hawaii just passed six landmark laws to shield immigrants from federal immigration enforcement, expand legal protections, and improve language access—marking a major victory after years of advocacy. Act 141 bars local police from cooperating with federal immigration authorities on data sharing or raids, keeping focus on community safety. Act 143 reduces jail time for minor offenses to avoid triggering deportation. The state also mandates immigrant rights education and language access programs, all in response to the tragic loss of 64 lives in immigration detention—highlighting the urgent need for humane, just policies.
