Washtenaw: Immigrants

The Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights, in a post on its blog, is rallying supporters to attend a July 29 event in Detroit to protest an Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid last week at a Chili’s restaurant in Canton: “Four people were detained when ICE agents went into the kitchen and arrested everyone who could not produce a green card! These are exactly the kinds of raids President Obama promised he would stop: rounding up innocent, hard working people at their place of employment and separating them from their families!” Organizers are planning to send one bus or more from Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti to transport supporters to the event, which begins at 7 p.m. [Source]
