Vice President Kamala Harris visited McCormick Place on Monday, seeking to enlist Latino support in a coalition to defeat “extremists” and their agenda of taking away hard-fought rights.

Harris stressed the “challenges of the moment we are in” as a result of “extremist so-called leaders.” She referenced recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that reversed a federal right to an abortion and affirmative action at universities and limited the Voting Rights Act, as well as efforts within states to curb the availability of books and teaching of race in U.S. history.
Harris denounced the new immigration policy passed in Florida earlier this month, which cracks down on migrants’ ability to work, seek medical care and travel freely without proper documentation of citizenship. She also condemned reports from Texas about authorities who have pushed children and pregnant women who crossed the Rio Grande back into the river and refused to provide basic necessities, such as water, to migrants crossing in deadly heat.
