THE ENFORCEMENT OF CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAW BY ICE IS UNWARRANTED AND
NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY FOR EVERYONE
According to ICE officials, they have just completed a three week
enforcement surge that has netted them with the arrest of 905
individuals in California. Out of these 905, 441 of them were made
here in Northern California.
Many in our Northern California community probably did not even know
that ICE was up to such activities. However there were many who were
despondently waiting for these surges in enforcement. Undocumented or
with documents we understood that no matter what reason, fairness or
justice seemed to call for, that a legalization program for the
millions of our undocumented residents was not currently attainable.
But that did not mean that we idly waited for these actions to come.
On the contrary these actions seemed to bring out the justice seeker
in us, motivated us to become more informed and to work together and
be more connected with our undocumented immigrant community.
As a result we were well aware that ICE was targeting our communities.
Before ICE issued this press release we knew that ICE had arrested:
63 workers at "El Balazo" restaurants,
at least three more in Berkeley at an apartment building,
one more at the Berkeley Marina restaurant,
a father of two an one more in Watsonville and five people in Capitolia.
We also knew about the sistematic detentions in areas like Hayward,
several people have been detained by the Hayward Police for traffic violations
and taken by ICE agents and deportedt,
As well as seventeen of our San Rafael community members had been arrested.
Although these ICE officials are said to be enforcing the law, the
enforcement of current immigration law is unwarranted and overall
negatively impacts the community for everyone Instead of extracting
workers, consumers, students and ultimately human beings from our
communities, our federal government should work to create better
economic, social and educational opportunities for us.
