NNIRR just received a report that police arrested youth en masse at the Richmond BART Station. They were on their way to San Francisco to join a protest against ICE raids and deportations.



This is a blatant attack on immigrant communities to silence and intimidate communities who are demanding justice and human rights and end to all raids, detentions and deportations.



Police harassment and arrest is a violation of our right to freedom of assembly and speech. Richmond police or BART police must be held accountable and all youth who were arrested must be immediately released without charges.



Please contact Andrea Cristina Mercado at (510) 205-3684 for more information on the youth-led community protest against ICE in San Francisco and the reported arrests of youth in Richmond.



Roll Back the ICE Raids!

End the Detentions & Deportations!



Justice & Human Rights for All!

This is a blatant attack on immigrant communities to silence and intimidate communities who are demanding justice and human rights

That's right....the AMERICAN people are demanding OUR rights!!!!!!!

FINALLY

Can a more complete story on this be found anywhere? Sounds interesting - would love to hear more on the details (who, why, what, where, etc.).

BART Stations Shut Down Ahead of Immigration Protest


SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS/AP) -- BART closed Fruitvale Station for a second time Friday when another wave of young demonstrators headed to an immigration protest in San Francisco tried to jump the fare gates.

Service at the Fruitvale, Coliseum, West Oakland and Richmond stations was disrupted around 10 a.m. Friday after dozens of protesters jumped the fare gates. Shortly after those stations reopened, service at Fruitvale was disrupted again for about an hour by the arrival of more protesters.

KCBS reporter Bob Melrose at Fruitvale said protesters shouted at BART police from outside the gates, but there was no violence.

The groups are heading to a noontime rally on Sansome Street in San Francisco, according to authorities, to demonstrate against the recent raids by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

KCBS reporter Margie Shafer in San Francisco reports hundreds of students from at least 10 schools converged on a park at Clay and Washington to rally ahead of a march to the ICE office nearby.

The group was calling for an end to ICE raids and for the agency to close its detention centers. Speakers at the rally also urged sanctuary cities to provide more support for undocumented workers.

A spokeswoman for ICE, Laurie Haley, defended the agency’s work to arrest and deport those living in the country illegally.

“ICE takes its responsibility to enforce the nation’s immigration laws seriously and we carry out this mandate in a fair, human manner that meets the highest standards of law enforcement,â€

From what I understand they weren't arrested for protesting, they were arrest for jumping over the BART turnstiles and stopping people from commuting to the point of shutting BART down.

But you won't hear this part from the pro-illegals, doesn't fit in with their propaganda.

Silly Gogo, it does not matter where they were going, or what law they were breaking, all that matters is where they were going. Don't you understand? The laws only apply to citizens, not illegals, but entitlements, now that is a whole different matter. They know their rights, it is responsibilities they have problems with.
