Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland published a series of multilingual statements on July 22, 2025, affirming that all individuals in the United States are guaranteed basic rights regardless of their immigration status.
In Spanish, Strickland stated: “Sin importar su estatus migratorio, todas las personas en EE. UU. tienen derechos básicos garantizados.” (July 22, 2025).
She reiterated this message in Ukrainian: “Незалежно від імміграційного статусу, кожен у США має гарантовані основні права.” (July 22, 2025).
The congresswoman also posted in Pashto: “د کډوالۍ حالت ته په پام سره، په متحده ایالاتو کې د هر چا لپاره اساسي حقونه تضمین شوي دي.” (July 22, 2025).
These statements align with long-standing legal principles in the United States that certain fundamental rights—such as due process and equal protection under the law—apply to all people within U.S. borders, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
