Undocumented Students Fight For Education & Immigrant Rights

By Erika L. Sánchez for Truthout - Oliver Merino of Charlotte, North Carolina, graduated from high school in 2007. Though 24 percent of the students at his school were Latino, and a majority of those were undocumented, teachers and counselors were not aware of the post-high-school options available to their graduates. "There was absolutely no type of support," Merino said. According to the Center for American Progress, 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school each year. Although some states have passed their own versions of the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), students across the United States continue to face many barriers in accessing higher education.

By Staff of Not One More - The raids that DHS announced days before Christmas seem to have started in the Atlanta area on January 2nd. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents barged into homes, even when asked for warrants at the door, removing mothers and children as young as 4 years old. By mid-day the phone at the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR) was ringing regularly as families and neighbors reported ICE activity and sought support for loved ones taken away. Adelina Nicholls, executive director of GLAHR who is now handling 5 cases (that appear to be already transferred to a South Texas facility) explains, “When Trump is taking credit for your immigration policy, you know you’re doing it wrong.

By Claire Voon for Hyperallergic - Throughout Philadelphia, for the rest of the month, one may now stumble upon and listen to the stories of undocumented families whose lives were affected by deportations. Since September, a small number of large-scale public artworks based on these real-life narratives have been popping up around the city, created by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz. Part of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program’s Open Source project, Ortiz’s “Familias Separadas” (Separated Families) shares the stories of five families the Philadelphia-based muralist interviewed through five corresponding works, planted at five different locations. Ortiz installed the fourth yesterday and will unveil the final work some time next week.

Undocumented Worker Stands Up To Billionaire Bully

August 24, 2015 Americas Voice, www.peoplesworld.org , , ,
By Americas Voice in People's World - As the negative coverage surrounding Donald Trump's inflammatory immigration policy paper continues to spill out, Liz Robbins of theNew York Times lifts up a critical, yet missing, voice in the current debate. Meet Ricardo Aca. Ricardo is an undocumented immigrant who works hard at three different jobs, including the Trump hotel in New York City's Soho neighborhood. In an incredible video from New Left Media and picked up by the New York Times, Ricardo describes working as a busboy at the only restaurant at Trump Soho, and his subsequent reaction to Trump's claim that undocumented immigrants from Mexico - hardworking immigrants like himself - are criminals. While Ricardo realizes the risks in going public -feeling Trump's retaliatory wrath in public or at work-he also wants to speak up for his family and community, and that's a risk he's willing to take for them.

Community Wants Answers In Police Killing Of Undocumented Man

March 23, 2015 Candice Bernd, www.truth-out.org , , ,
"Are you going to kill me?" That was the last thing Rubén García Villalpando reportedly asked Grapevine, Texas, Police Officer Robert Clark before Clark answered his question - in the affirmative. According to witnesses, García Villalpando had his hands up when Clark shot him twice, February 20, in Euless, Texas - a city technically outside the officer's jurisdiction. Clark's shooting of García Villalpando echoes what has become an all-too-familiar, tragic tale across the nation amid a national debate on the policing tactics used in communities of color, sparked initially by the killing of Michael Brown and subsequent protests in Ferguson, Missouri, which have come to the fore again recently with the release of a Department of Justice (DOJ) report detailing the city's systemic racist policing policies of collecting revenue off the backs of Black people.
