Hispanic leaders threaten boycott of radio station - New Jersey

“Hispanic political leaders say they will press sponsors of a radio talk show to sever their ties to the program if the hosts do not drop a campaign urging New Jersey residents to turn in illegal immigrants to federal authorities.

Giving a deadline of two weeks, state Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo, D-Essex, said Thursday that unless the campaign ended and the hosts of 101.5 FMs “Jersey Guys” apologized, he and other Hispanic leaders would “hit them where it hurts, in the pocket.”"
