Latin American Protests
US Immigration Raids
Latin Americans living
in the US will protest
today the detention of
several immigrants in
the City of Richmond,
Virginia, Salvadorian
members of the Virginia
Immigrant People's
Coalition announced.
They will march against
a raid carried out by
federal agents
yesterday, ending up in
the arrest of 33 people
from Central American
countries, including
several Salvadorians,
who worked in a
construction business,
according to La Prensa
Grafica daily.
The only crime committed
by them is working to
support their families,

Virginia Immigrant
People's Coalition said,
as quoted by the
journal. |
