January 22, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the last three days, President Trump has signed a series of executive orders that could profoundly impact immigrant communities and survivors of violence across the country. Safe Horizon stands firm in our opposition to any policy that creates fear among survivors, deters them from seeking help, or undermines the basic rights of those who have already experienced trauma.<\/p>\n

Many of the individuals our organization serves are immigrants who have fled violence in their home countries, survived domestic abuse, or endured human trafficking. Policies that heighten immigration enforcement without clear protections for survivors threaten to push these individuals into the shadows. When survivors fear deportation or punishment for coming forward, it becomes nearly impossible for them to seek justice, report crimes, or access lifesaving services. These executive orders risk compounding the harm survivors have already endured. They make our communities less safe.<\/p>\n

New York has a proud history of welcoming immigrants and championing civil rights. We urge residents to contact their elected officials, support local victim service agencies, and speak out against legislation and executive actions that place vulnerable individuals at greater risk.<\/p>\n

To survivors\u2014whether you are an immigrant, a citizen, documented or undocumented\u2014know that you are not alone, and help is available. We will continue to provide support regardless of identity or immigration status. Our doors are open, and we remain unwavering in our commitment to ensuring your safety, well-being, and legal rights. We stand with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Safe Horizon CEO Liz Roberts issued the following statement:\r\n\r\n\u201cAt least a third of people in the U.S. identify as survivors of violence, abuse, or exploitation. The election of a candidate who routinely uses misogynistic language towards women and was found liable for sexual assault by a jury sends a chilling message to survivors.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe election of a President who has repeatedly spread racist, anti-immigrant and transphobic stereotypes will further isolate and stigmatize Black, brown, immigrant and LGBTQI+ survivors, who already face the most formidable barriers to safety and healing.\r\n\r\n\u201cNow, more than ever, it is crucial that we listen to survivors, believe them, and stand with them. We need to invest in lasting cultural change to make gender-based violence unacceptable. We need to fight for equity and respect for all. The voices of survivors must not be drowned out; they must be amplified. We must advocate for policies that prioritize their safety and dignity, and challenge any attempts to take away their rights.\r\n\r\n\u201cSafe Horizon will continue to provide comprehensive support services for survivors while advocating for policies that allow all survivors to find safety, justice, and healing in ways that are right for them.\r\n\r\n\u201cTogether, our fight continues to ensure that survivors are heard, believed, and can reclaim their stories.\u201d","post_title":"Safe Horizon Responds to the 2024 Election Results","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"safe-horizon-responds-to-the-2024-election-results","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-06-10 14:49:25","post_modified_gmt":"2025-06-10 18:49:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/?p=10931","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"eyebrow":"","heading":"","text":"","primary_cta":"","authors":false},"yoast_head":"\nSafe Horizon Responds to President Trump's Immigration Executive Orders<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Safe Horizon speaks out against President Trump's recent immigration executive orders.
