ENGLISH
We wish to inform you of an urgent situation that has arisen over the course of the weekend. Victor Guijarro, a Minneapolis resident and leader of La Asamblea de Derechos Civiles was detained in the state of Ohio while traveling to the east coast to visit family on his birthday.
He was detained after a routine traffic stop lead to questions regarding his immigration status. The Border Patrol has made various attempts at obtaining information from him, without having an attorney present. Upon asserting their Miranda rights, passengers of the vehicle he was driving were told by local law enforcement, “You have no rights, only citizens have rights.” Victor, his wife, an infant son, mother and spouse were detained thereafter.
La Asamblea de Derechos Civiles (The Assembly for Civil Rights) is a faith-based organization that organizes in our community for social justice and emancipation. Over the last two years, Victor Guijarro has served as a key leader in our organization. He originally became involved in our organization through his work with immigrants from his home country, in their efforts to bring a consulate to the Twin Cities.
His vision for justice, lead his work to expand beyond his own community. He has been actively involved in promoting Latino participation in the 2010 Census, working with Latino homeowners to resolve fears of displacement by MnDOT road projects, and organizing various events to promote changes to our immigration laws, including local turnout to the upcoming March 21 march on Washington DC.
Victor Guijarro is a loving husband and father of two, including a young infant. He is an active member of his congregation at Sagrado Corazon de Jesus in Minneapolis and a respected leader in his community. We are demanding that he be released immediately and reunited with his family.
At a recent celebration to commemorate the life of Cesar Chavez, Victor proclaimed:
“Now is the time when we must ask ourselves: Are we willing to continue the struggle for our ideals, to create a more promising tomorrow?”
As a LEADER who values families and social justice, we are asking YOU now to intervene on behalf of Victor Guijarro and his community as he struggles for his FREEDOM.
We need donations to cover legal and other expenses to put up a fight against the oppressive system which is separating a father from his son, a husband from his wife, a leader from its community.
