Response to Donald Trump calling Mexican immigrants “rapists, drug dealers, and criminals”

July 9, 2015- Congressman Gutiérrez responds to the recent comments by Donald Trump calling Mexican immigrants “rapists, drug dealers, and criminals” and calls attention to how the inaction of the Republican Party on immigration perpetuates unsafe communities. He addresses the recent tragedy in San Francisco and argues that a system where people are able to come out of the shadows and identify themselves along with a criminal background would increase safety for all. “Unfortunately, that is exactly the system that some Republicans have been fighting against.”

Why border crossings are down but deaths are up in brutal Arizona desert

With a significant slowdown in the surge of migrants streaming across the Southwest border, it stands to reason that the number of deaths among those braving the crippling heat of Arizona’s desert frontier with Mexico would also decline.

2 Years & No Justice – Thursday Oct. 22nd Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez in Santa Rosa

Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez 

Thursday, Oct. 22nd, 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.

 

Remember Andy Lopez at a picket line in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, at a rosary and at a potluck.

 

Two years after the killing of Andy Lopez by Deputy Erik Gelhaus, we are still waiting for justice. On the 2nd anniversary of his death, you can honor Andy’s memory in several ways.

 

At 4:00 p.m. we will be picketing in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, 2796 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa.

Since Andy’s killing there have been many more deaths and continuing violence and torture at the county jail. This is what happens when public officials are allowed to get away with murder.


At 7:00 p.m. there will be a rosary for Andy at Andy’s Park (Moorland and West Robles). This is a moving and loving tribute to Andy…

David Edwards | RAW STORY 15 Oct 2015
Two Iowa parents are calling for an educator at Bailey Park Elementary School in Grinnell to be fired for allegedly making racist comments to mixed-race children.
Geoff Burd choked up as he explained to KCCI that his daughter,
Nikki, came home from school and recalled that the para-educator had said black people and white people should not be a family or go to the same school.
“It’s an unbelievable situation,” Burd said, sounding defeated.  “I work very hard to protect her. I have worked her entire life to protect her.”

‘It is arson:’ 6 churches set on fire near Ferguson in 10 days

St Louis police have confirmed that six fires at churches in predominately black neighborhoods near Ferguson occurring over just 10 days have been classified as arson. There have been no injuries and officials don’t yet have a suspect.


“It is arson,” St. Louis Fire Captain Garon Mosby told media outlets, according to the Associated Press. “These [fires] are being intentionally set.”
Mosby said the possibility of a hate crime for religious or racial reasons “is part of the dynamic” in an ongoing joint investigation currently being conducted by the St. Louis Regional Bomb Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The ATF has jurisdiction over fires at all houses of worship.
All the fires took place in predominately black neighborhoods within a three-mile radius of Ferguson, and all were lit at the front doors of the churches.
