    "Protestors Arrested at Chicago ICE!"

    Protestors Arrested at Chicago ICE Office

    Published December 07, 2010

    Fifteen protestors were arrested at the Chicago offices of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Pro immigration advocates, including a woman who is seven months pregnant and an activist in a wheelchair, were arrested at immigration offices in Chicago.

    The act of civil disobedience was supposed to include Rep. LuĆ*s GutiĆ©rrez (D-Ill), but the congressman decided not to participate.

    The protestors blocked the main entrance of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office.

    "We want a Christmas without fear that lets juvenile citizens celebrate without armed men breaking up their families," Tanya Lozano of the Familia Unida (United Family) movement said.

    The peaceful protest -- at which protestors called for an end to the deportation of undocumented immigrants -- lasted 30 minutes.

    "President (Barack) Obama can keep his promises and declare a moratorium on deportations with the stroke of a pen," Emma Lozano, director of Chicago's Centro Sin Fronteras (Center Without Borders), said.

    In the end, federal agents handcuffed and arrested 15 people, including Lozano, Chicago Alderman and a group of clergy and other activists. Authorities freed them two hours later after the activists paid a $175 fine.

    They were scheduled in court in February.

    GutiƩrrez held a press conference an hour before he gave his backing for a request on behalf of the undocumented wife of a Hispanic soldier. The request was for a humanitarian visa allowing Army National Guard Spc. HƩctor NuƱez's wife to return to Chicago from MƩxico with the couple's ailing child.

    GutiƩrrez told of the case of Rosa NuƱez, who was called for a personal interview by the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad JuƔrez, MƩxico, last June to finalize procedures for her permanent residency, and there they told her she could not return to the United States for another 10 years.

    Rosa NuƱez is being penalized for having entered the United States without documents on two occasions as a child, when she accompanied her parents, the congressman said. Spc. NuƱez, 26, is the son of Mexicans born and raised in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines. He served in Kuwait in 2007 and will soon be posted to Afghanistan.

    "My wife has lived in the shadows as an undocumented alien almost all her life, but even so she studied and wanted to legalize her immigration status to become a radiologist," the soldier said. "Someone has to help us wake up from this nightmare, because my family in MĆ©xico is suffering more than I will on the battlefield," he said.

    According to NuƱez, he is worried about the violence going on in MƩxico and the lack of medical care for son Jason.

    "In the consulate in Ciudad JuƩrez they didn't let us speak. They already had the documentation ready and then they told my wife she was barred from returning for 10 years," he said.

    GutiƩrrez said that Obama "knows very well the suffering of the NuƱez family" because he has personally given them thousands of petitions from citizens demanding an end to deportations.

    "This administration is very proud of its deportations, with more people than ever expelled from the country, and not all of them criminals," GutiƩrrez said.

    ICE is in with them and will just set them up in a nice shelter until a judge can let them go .

    Look who is in leadership of ICE and reaslize they are not protecting our borders !

    The border agents are in more danger than the illegals from ICE ruled by the zars .
