Detroit woman(illegal) among 8 detained at Georgia protest
Detroit woman among 8 detained at Georgia protest
DETROIT— A 21-year-old college student from Detroit who came to the U.S. with her family at age nine is among eight illegal immigrants arrested at a sit-in protest in Atlanta. The eight were arrested Tuesday for sitting in the middle of a busy street in front of the Georgia Capitol. They were protesting their lack of access to higher education in a scene reminiscent of civil rights demonstrations decades ago. A Michigan-based Immigration rights advocacy group says Dayanna Rebolledo is a student at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn and says she hopes to become a teacher. In a statement released by the group One Michigan, Rebolledo says she decided to risk deportation because she's "tired of seeing undocumented youth being treated like second class citizens." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...,5612277.story |
