Faith-Based and Immigrants’ Rights Organizations Uniteto Demand ICE out of ABQ
ALBUQUERQUE, NM— In light of the recent detention of Juan Martinez, an Albuquerque immigrant worker and father of four children, and an uptick of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in Albuquerque, El CENTRO de Igualdad y Derechos and the New Mexico Faith Coalition for Immigrant Justice joined forces at a vigil to highlight the chilling impact that ICE is having on public safety. Together, they denounced the erosion of equal access to justice for immigrants and urged ICE to allow Juan Martinez to post a low bond so he can be united with his family while he pursues possible immigration relief.
