*ATTENTION ALL LATINAS !*
*FRIDAY, AUGUST 22ND*
*4 p.m.*
*JOIN US IN PROTESTS AT I.C.E. OFFICES ACROSS THE NATION !*
* *
*It is imperative that we send a message to I.C.E., President Bush and the
upcoming Democratic Party Convention that there must be AN IMMEDIATE
MORATORIUM ON ALL RAIDS, DEPORTATIONS, INCARCERATIONS AND SEPARATION OF
FAMILIES.*
On the defensive after congressional hearings that raked I.C.E.
over the coals for the cruel, abusive and \\"Gestapo like\\" raids in IOWA,
I.C.E. responded with a so-called \\"humanitarian\\" way to deport half a
million people - AND THEIR U.S. CITIZEN FAMILIES!..
\\"Operation Scheduled Departure\\" called for nearly half a million
people who have had final orders of deportation, who have no criminal
records but are classified as fugitives because they have not left the
country, to turn themselves in. I.C.E. promised to give them 3 months to
\\"settle their affairs\\" before they were deported. *The agency even offered
to provide transportation for their U.S. citizen or legal resident children
or spouses to leave with them!*
* *
*Along with this ridiculous and racist \\"offer\\" came the real news !*
* *
I.C.E. announced that it has *OVER 100 TEAMS* of agents working full time to
seek out and arrest these 500,000 people who, even according to I.C.E., have
done nothing wrong except come to this country, accepted employment from
U.S. companies, pay taxes and support their families.
Already we have witnessed I.C.E. agents waiting outside of schools and day
care centers to track down parents. I.C.E. has enlisted police in some
states to set up road blocks as people come to church on Sunday. I.C.E.
agents are coming into our neighborhoods in the dead of night and knocking
on our doors, terrorizing our children.
What we have to look forward to in the next six months is *a multi-million
dollar manhunt* aimed at individuals and their families that *pose no threat
* to this nation, are contributing to the economy and have no criminal
record or charges against them - *all because congressional democrats and
republicans were playing politics instead of completing the work of
comprehensive immigration reform. *Because of their inaction, our entire
community, and especially our children, will live in a constant state of
fear and hiding and good hardworking families will be destroyed.
*THIS MADNESS MUST STOP!*
*On Friday, August 22nd, we call on all organizations and concerned
individuals, but especially LATINAS, to organize protests in front of your
local I.C.E. office at 4 p.m. (at your local time) to demand an immediate
moratorium on fugitive searches against these 500,000 individuals who have
no criminal records.*
* *
*We call on our people to contact delegates leaving for the Democratic
Convention to insure that the Democratic Convention goes on record calling
for an immediate moratorium on raids, deportations, incarcerations and
separations of families until comprehensive immigration reform is finally
agreed on in the next Congress.*
* *
*Ask your delegates and especially members of the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus to stand with you on Friday, August 22nd, in front of I.C.E.*
* *
*We call on Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama to make clear their commitment
to our community by joining in this call for an immediate moratorium on the
convention floor!*
