Latinos Singled Out - NO Europeans or Canadians Arrested yet in Border Sweeps

No policy decisions were made during the nearly two-hour meeting at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, but attendees on both sides called it a positive step toward ongoing dialogue. At least 407 people have been arrested by border patrol agents in recent sweeps in the Inland Empire and the San Diego area. [more]
