Latino Leaders Protest U.S. Border Patrol Sweeps-
Still NO Europeans or Canadians arrested yet. Only Latinos.
Nearly 400 illegal
aliens, mostly from Mexico and Central America, have been rounded up
over the last few days by the U.S. Border Patrol in sweeps that
immigrant groups say are striking fear in their communities. About two
dozen people on Wednesday protested the raids at a federal building in
Los Angeles, saying that they were part of a concerted national effort
to track down and deport illegal aliens. "We cannot and we will not
accept institutional fear in our communities as a way of life," said
Juan Jose Gutierrez, national coordinator of an organization called
Latino Movement USA.[more]
