“Immigrant and Hispanic advocates in Washington yesterday asked for a moratorium on deportations, saying that a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigrants has led to unfairly swift deportations and the confinement of thousands of men, women and children in federal detention centers far from their families and lawyers.
The groups highlighted the case of Leticia Alonso-Silva, 27, a Mexican-born resident of Culpeper, Va., and a mother of two, who was arrested last month by immigration officials on the basis of a deportation order from 1999, when she entered the United States illegally to work as a farmhand. Soon after her arrest, she was sent to a federal detention camp in Texas to await deportation.”
