March to target immigration reform – San Antonio
Tagged: activist, children, deportation, La Raza, Mexico, San Antonio, TexasPosted on: October 11th, 2007“Hispanic activists in San Antonio are planning a march Friday to advocate for immigration reform, so children like Saúl Arellano don’t have to be separated from their mothers, organizers said.
The local march is being held on Día de la Raza, the Day of the Race, or indigenous people’s day, which is celebrated each year in October.
The march will be one of a number being coordinated across the country by supporters of Arellano’s mother, Elvira, who made headlines last year after taking sanctuary in a Chicago church to avoid deportation. Authorities eventually caught up with Arellano in August during a rally in Los Angeles, deporting her to Mexico.”*
