DESCRIPTION:
COSTA MESA- On Tuesday, January 03, concerned citizens forming a collective called Tonantzin will converge upon the Costa Mesa City Council in protest of the City Council's decision to train city police to enforce immigration law. The measure was approved by the council on December 7, 2005. Costa Mesa will be the first United States city to merge police and immigration duties.

This measure raises concern amongst the Mexican Central and South American community. How will officers distinguish between those who are legal and illegal? Will all who come in contact with police be asked to validate citizenship? people will be subject to racial profiling, based on appearance and surname. The measure will also erode relations between immigrants and police, as immigrants will fear reporting crimes. Furthermore, vigilantism may increase, as residents may attack and harass Hispanics they believe to be illegal.

Police officers are not border patrol agents! All are invited to demand the repeal of the City Council's decision and prevent racial profiling and unfair attacks on immigrants in Costa Mesa.

Why: Tonantzin collective has 4 demands: 1) The re-opening of the day Labor cite. 2). The withdrawal of the vote that will give power to certain police officers to enforce immigration law. 3) The recall of those city council official who voted for the closing of the day labor cite and the proposal that will give power to police officers to enforce immigration laws. 4) Respect, dignity and work for all people.
