    Out Of The Shadows And Into The Streets

    On March 14 2012, Tania Chairez and Jessica Hyejin Lee, openly undocumented and unafraid mujeres, blocked traffic in an act of civil disobedience in front of ICE headquarters in Philadelphia. They risked deportation to free Miguel Garcia, another undocumented youth who has been in ICE detention for more than 8 months, separated from his wife and U.S. citizen sons.

    "Hi I was calling to ask that Miguel (A# 094-320-156) be reunited with his family. His fiancee just gave birth to the family's second baby and she wants nothing more than to be reunited with Miguel so they can raise their two sons together. Let Miguel out."
