Councilmembers Fani-González, Glass, and Luedtke introduced the Uplifting Victims and Immigrant Safety Act (U VISA Act) in November 2024, which removes Montgomery County Police's arbitrary 10-year statute of limitations for assisting potential U visa applicants. The U visa provides legal status to victims of violent crimes — including sexual assault, human trafficking, and domestic violence — who cooperate with law enforcement. A public hearing on the legislation is scheduled for Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
