Ranchers, Murderers and Michelle Obama |
|
| This video revisits the murder of 9 year old Brisenia Flores by minutemen and compares the response of politicians to that of Rancher Robert Krantz. Is it color, ethnicity or political exploitation that makes one life more valuable in the eyes of John McCain, Gov. Brewer or Russell Pearce? This also covers a 2/22/10 ICE memo, Michelle Obama's moment of truth with a second grader whose Mom doesn't have papers and even more ugliness about Russell Pearce's past and present plans as revealed by his emails. I dated these events for historical reference. All info came from public news sources. |

"La union have la fuerza!!!" |
|
| After long hours of planning, thinking and a lot of work, it was time to share or testimonies, our stories, our lives. Hearing those stories moved me, but more than that I realized that I had never had anyone was an example to follow, a reference of the values and beli...efs I should cultivate in my life. Then you guys happened and that inspired me to dream higher and work harder, to never forget why I am here and where I come from, to fight until I reach my goal and come back and celebrate with each and everyone of you y mi gente. It was in this moment when I committed myself to the cause and I promised I wasn't going to stop until our goal is accomplished.

1/30 Baltimore, MD: 7-Eleven video said to show ICE immigrant racial profiling (CASA de Maryland) |
|
| CASA de Maryland released video footage on Jan 29, 2009 shows federal agents unfairly targeted Latinos in January 2007 outside a 7-Eleven in Southeast Baltimore.
The video, taken from store cameras, captured U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents rounding up 24 men suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Most have since been deported or left the country voluntarily.
In the video, agents can be seen ignoring black store patrons while focusing on Latino men. Advocates say a white man who had hired three Latinos for day labor was allowed to drive his pickup truck away from the 7-Eleven, while the three workers were taken into custody.
In addition, the advocates say, the video shows agents detaining a number of Latinos who had been waiting at a bus stop across the street from the 7-Eleven, a common hiring spot for day laborers.
