Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) said Monday that he will represent any immigrant who faces deportation after seeking help during Tropical Storm Harvey.
During a press conference, Turner said “there is absolutely no reason” why any individual shouldn't call for help.
“I and others will be the first ones to stand up with you,” said Turner. “If you need help and someone comes and they require help, and then for some reason, then somebody tries to deport them, I will represent them myself, okay?”
Turner said all individuals affected by the storm should take advantage of the services offered to them.
