Obama Sent ICE to Their Doorsteps So They Are Coming To His

 

“This week immigrant and LGBT civil rights leaders from the California Immigrant Youth Justice Alliance (CIYJA) sat down in the Democratic congressional offices of Rep. Xavier Becerra and Rep. Loretta Sanchez, demanding their leadership to stop the deportations. The action was in solidarity with the hunger-strike at the White House to call on the President to stop deportations, which started Tuesday.”

San Diego Border Community Rallies to Support Jose Gutierrez

Community Village‘s insight:

 

“Shena Gutierrez, the wife of Jose, released this statement on behalf of their family:

 

“Three years ago, our lives completely changed when Jose was handcuffed and taken from us to be deported to Mexico, a country he had not seen in over 3 decades. We did not think things could get any worse until March 30, 2011, when Jose was brutally beaten into a coma by Border Patrol agents. For 3 years we have been fighting for justice. The release of four names out of the eleven agents involved in the beating of my husband is not good enough! We want ALL names released! We want justice, accountability and transparency!”

 

Since the incident occurred three years ago, Shena Gutierrez has become an outspoken advocate in defense of her husband and other border families who have been affected by border brutality and abuse of power. On a few occasions, she has traveled to Washington D.C. to speak to members of Congress who have been made aware of the lack of accountability and oversight within the nation’s largest law enforcement agency.

 

Last June, she joined with the families of Anastasio Hernandez Rojas and Valeria Munique Tachiquin in a video asking their Senator to equip Border Patrol with body worn-cameras, which CBP has committed to, but has not yet implemented.  Last week, the request was once again raised, this time to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

Obama Orders Review Of Deportation Practices, Looks For More Humane Options

 

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to pacify frustrated immigration advocates, President Barack Obama is directing the government to find more humane ways to handle deportation for immigrants in the U.S. illegally, the White House said Thursday.”

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

“More humane ways to deport”

 

How about NOT deporting?!

 

Double standards. Europeans invade Native land then xenophobic racists build kill walls and kick indigenous people off their own land!

Video: Stopping a Deportation Bus

What an emotionally grounding feeling to stop a deportation bus!

Last week, the #united4 were released after engaging in civil disobedience outside the ICE detention center in Phoenix, and dozens of dreamers and Original Dreamers were gathered for a prayer vigil. All of a sudden, we saw the bus about to pull 27 families apart and we decided to take action.

Watch it all in this video and share with your friends too!
