Press Release- URGENT!
Community organizers respond to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's announcement of new agreement for State and Local Immigration Enforcement Partnerships.
Advocates for Immigration reform and community leaders will hold a press conference against Napolitano’s announcement
Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission and the Justice Mission will hold an urgent press conference today July 11, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. in response to Napolitano’s announcement done yesterday regarding the New agreements of Section 287 (g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
“We have seen how the section 287 (g), since the time of enforcement and agreements, has been affecting working class immigrants and families. It has been the reason of thousands of separations of families; it has been an excuse to deport non-criminal immigrants.” Said Father Jose Landaverde, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission and the Justice mission are concern for the New agreements done under this Section 287 (g) by the State and Local law enforcement. “Under this agreement we have seen how civil rights violations occur and an example of it is Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.” Said Father Jose Landaverde.

When: Saturday July 11, 2009 at 2:00 p.m.
