For the last year, Elianis Gautier Peraza has been working to influence city governments across Pennsylvania\u2019s Lehigh Valley to pass ordinances restricting federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old, who moved to the United States from Puerto Rico in 2018, lives in Forks Township, a small and conservative community. While her township is unlikely to budge, she\u2019s worked with immigrants\u2019 rights advocates and members of her Democratic Socialists of America chapter to focus on cities around the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
