On October 4, the New York Times wrote in an editorial: "Armed squads bursting into homes in the dead of night with shotguns and automatic weapons, terrorizing families and taking away anyone who lacks identity papers, even if they have raided the wrong house. It may sound like Baghdad , but it is the suburbs of New York City , the latest among hundreds of communities around the country where federal agents have been invading homes and workplaces in search of immigrants to deport."
The New York Times is no community newspaper, nor is it a newspaper of the unions, it writes on behalf of the corporations. But even the New York Times is denouncing the horrible raids that are sweeping the country.
On Friday, October 12 immigrant rights organizations across the country will hold press conferences, meetings and demonstrations to denounce these raids. Actions will take place in Los Angeles , San Francisco , Detroit and on the Texas/Mexico border.
Join them to say no to the raids! Solidarity, not union busting!
