Latinos flex political muscle in San Pablo - California

“Latinos put on a display of political power this week, packing the San Pablo City Council chamber to call for a moratorium on deportations of undocumented immigrants, a path to citizenship and a policy not to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The council opted 5-0 on Monday night for a milder resolution that calls for “a fair and equitable process for foreign nationals who seek to immigrate lawfully,” as part of a comprehensive immigration reform. The Latino activists two allies on the council, Genoveva Garcia Calloway and Leonard McNeil, supported the compromise as a better-than-nothing first step.”
